WHY AURELO

SEO built for startups, not enterprises.

Three principles behind every startup SEO engagement. We don't do generic checklists. We build the organic infrastructure that gets your startup found by the right people at the right time.

01

Technical foundations first

Before we write a word of content, we make sure Google can find, crawl, and trust your site. Site architecture, Core Web Vitals, indexation, schema markup, and internal linking — all built for a fast-moving startup codebase. We work directly in your repo if needed.

02

Intent-mapped content strategy

Every piece of content maps to a stage in your buyer's journey. Not just awareness blog posts. Comparison pages, alternative pages, feature pages, and use-case content that turns searchers into signups.

03

Rankings that compound

We target achievable keywords with real revenue intent and build topical authority clusters around your core offering. First rankings within 90 days, and compounding traffic growth that reduces your CAC every single month.

Case study

Trial Signups from Organic:

0180/mo

Thanks to Aurelo, we went from zero organic to 12k monthly visitors. Those visitors actually convert. Organic now outperforms paid for trial signups.

Samee, Founder at MindProbe.ai

We went from zero organic to 12k monthly visitors in under 6 months

Those visitors actually convert. Our trial signups from organic now outperform paid. Aurelo understood our product deeply and built SEO that maps to how people actually buy SaaS. The compounding effect is real.

What's included

Everything in your startup SEO engagement

Technical foundations, keyword strategy, content production, link building, and revenue attribution. One team, no handoffs.

Technical SEO Audit & Implementation

Crawl errors, Core Web Vitals, indexation issues, site speed, JavaScript rendering. Audited and fixed. Not just flagged.

Keyword Strategy & Intent Mapping

Every keyword mapped to a buyer intent stage. TOFU, MOFU, BOFU. We find the keywords your ICP is actually searching before they find your competitors.

Site Architecture for Crawlability

URL structure, internal linking, sitemap, canonical tags, and page hierarchy designed for both Google and your users. Built once, lasts for years.

Content Production (BOFU-first)

We write and publish the pages that drive signups: comparison pages, alternatives pages, use-case pages, and feature landing pages. Content that converts, not just content that exists.

Link Building & Domain Authority

Strategic outreach to relevant publications, startup directories, and niche communities. Quality links from domains your customers actually read. No PBNs, no spam.

Revenue Attribution & Reporting

GA4, Search Console, and rank tracking tied to signups, demos, and MRR. Monthly reports that show what SEO is worth — not just which keywords went up.

SERVICES

Full-stack startup SEO.

Not just traffic. Growth.

Strategy, technical fixes, content production, link building, and revenue attribution. One team, no handoffs.

Is this right for you?

We're selective about who we work with.

This is for you if…

  • You're a pre-seed to Series A founder who wants organic as a real growth channel
  • You're tired of burning cash on ads with no compounding return
  • You want someone who understands startup funnels — not just keywords
  • You're willing to invest 3+ months in building something that lasts
  • You think in terms of CAC and MRR, not just traffic and rankings
  • You want a team that can touch your codebase, not just send you PDFs

This isn’t for you if…

  • You expect page 1 rankings within 4 weeks
  • You want the cheapest option on Upwork
  • You're not willing to produce or approve content
  • You need someone to manage 50 other marketing channels
  • You want a monthly report that sits unread in your inbox

FAQ

Answered.

Everything founders want to know before they start.

Technical fixes show impact within 2-4 weeks. Content-driven rankings typically appear at 8-12 weeks and compound from there. Most startup clients see meaningful organic traffic by month 3. If anyone promises page 1 in 30 days, walk away.
We handle everything — keyword research, briefs, writing, on-page optimisation, and publishing. You review and approve, but you don't need to write a single word. We also build programmatic content templates for scale.
Yes. We've worked with Next.js, React, Webflow, and custom stacks. We submit PRs, coordinate directly with your engineers, and implement technical SEO changes ourselves where needed. No PDF handoffs that get ignored.
No — it's actually the best time to start. Building topical authority and technical foundations early means you're compounding while competitors aren't. We scope projects to match your stage. Early-stage doesn't mean small impact.
Usually because there was no strategy behind it. Random blog posts don't rank. Content without intent mapping doesn't convert. We start with a full audit of what went wrong, then build the right foundation — technical, structural, and content.
No. Anyone guaranteeing specific rankings is either lying or using tactics that will get you penalised. We guarantee process, transparency, and a consistent track record of driving compounding organic growth for early-stage companies.
Monthly reports tied to rankings, traffic, signups, demos, and MRR from organic. Not vanity dashboards. You'll see what's ranking, what's converting, and what the channel is worth in commercial terms.
After the initial 3-month period, it's month-to-month. You can pause or cancel with 30 days' notice. We've never had a client leave because SEO was working — but we don't believe in holding anyone to a contract if we're not delivering.
