B2B SaaS SEO: Complete guide for 2026

B2B SaaS SEO

SaaS SEO is the process of making a software product visible in search across the entire buyer journey, from the first “what is” query to the pricing page. The economics are the reason it matters: Stratabeat puts cost per lead from B2B SaaS organic search at 10% to 30% of what the same lead costs through paid media, and unlike paid, the content keeps producing after the invoice stops. Organic search still delivers roughly 53% of all trackable web traffic, and the global SEO services market reached $108.28 billion in 2026, which tells you how many of your competitors are already investing. I am Adrian Dąbrowiecki. I spent years running SEO inside a SaaS company before founding Marketer Coffee. On Landingi, a Polish landing page platform competing against Unbounce and Instapage, this approach took organic traffic from 14,978 to 71,100 monthly visits over 29 months, a 375% increase, and keywords in the top three from 623 to 8,206. This is the strategy I actually use, in the order I actually run it.

What Is SaaS SEO?

SaaS SEO is the process of growing organic traffic to a software product’s website by improving visibility at every stage of the buyer journey.

The distinction from generic SEO matters. Ranking is not the goal. Trials, demos and paid conversions are the goal, and in subscription businesses a signup is worth its lifetime value, not its first month. That changes which keywords deserve investment and which are expensive decoration.

Four things have to run at once: technical setup so crawlers can reach and index everything; content covering both informational and transactional intent; a topical map that builds real authority in your category; and continuous updating, because software changes faster than any other kind of product you might write about.

The failure mode I see most often is a SaaS blog with impressive traffic and almost no attributable revenue. Someone chased volume, ranked for terms their buyers never search, and now has to defend a channel that looks busy and produces nothing.

Why Is SaaS SEO Important?

SaaS SEO is important because it produces scalable, compounding traffic and reduces dependence on paid acquisition and outbound.

Almost no B2B buyer wants a demo on first contact. They search their problem, read comparisons, check G2, ask a peer, and only then fill in a form. If your product is absent during that research phase, you are not competing, you are invisible, and the vendor who published the comparison page they read is now the default.

SEO lets you appear at each of those moments: “what is project management software” during exploration, “Asana vs Trello” during comparison, “Trello pricing” at the decision. It is also one of very few channels that compounds. Every article adds context to the ones around it, authority accumulates, and terms that were unwinnable in month three become reachable in month twelve.

The strategic argument I make to founders is about valuation, not traffic. A company acquiring customers entirely through paid has a cost structure that scales linearly forever. One with a meaningful organic share has an asset on the balance sheet.

What Are the Benefits of SaaS SEO?

The benefits of SaaS SEO are lower acquisition cost, better lead quality, full-funnel visibility, and growth that keeps compounding after the spend stops.

Cost. Paid stops the day the card fails. Content published two years ago is still producing signups today, which pushes blended CPA down every month it keeps working.

Lead quality. People arriving from a comparison page have already defined their problem and shortlisted vendors. On the SaaS accounts I have worked with, organic trials convert to paid at a noticeably higher rate than trials from display or social, because the visitor did the qualifying themselves.

Full-funnel coverage. Few channels let you influence awareness, consideration and decision with the same asset base. A single topic cluster can hold a buyer from the first search to the pricing page.

Measurability. You can tie rankings to clicks, clicks to signups and signups to revenue. That is what turns SEO from a marketing cost into a defensible line item.

Do SaaS Companies Actually Need SEO?

Most SaaS companies do need SEO, but not all of them and not to the same degree. The deciding factor is whether your buyers search for the problem your product solves.

Brian Balfour calls this product-channel fit, and it is the check I run before quoting anyone. B2B tools aimed at a recognizable business pain are close to an ideal match: someone types “how to track billable hours” long before they type any vendor name. Products where the pain is not searchable, or where the entire purchase happens inside an app store, are a harder case, and I have talked companies out of SEO-first strategies more than once for exactly that reason.

The honest test: open a keyword tool and check whether the problem your software solves has search volume attached to it in plain language. If it does not, the channel is not broken, it is simply the wrong first channel.

How I Think About SaaS SEO Before the Tactics

I think about SaaS SEO in three layers before anyone opens a keyword tool: infrastructure, coverage and credibility. Every account I take on gets sorted that way first.

Infrastructure is the site itself: hosting speed, CMS flexibility, whether you can edit canonicals, add schema, set redirects and control the URL structure without filing a ticket with engineering. Great content on a slow, rigid site underperforms, and no amount of writing fixes that.

Coverage is the content: landing pages that convert commercial intent, articles that earn the traffic and the trust. This is where most of the budget goes and where most of the result comes from.

Credibility is links and authorship: internal linking that connects the clusters, backlinks that tell Google other people take you seriously, and named authors who actually know the subject.

Omid Ghiam frames the same three-way split as the engine, the fuel and the oil, which is a better metaphor than mine. The reason I hold the split at all is diagnostic: when a SaaS account stalls, the problem is almost always isolated to one of these layers, and knowing which one saves a quarter of guessing.

What This Looks Like on a Real SaaS Account

Everything below is easier to trust with numbers attached, so here is the account I keep referring to. Landingi is a Polish SaaS selling a landing page builder into a market owned by Unbounce, Leadpages and Instapage, in a category that generative AI has been actively disrupting. When we started, the company was essentially visible only in Poland, the main competitor held roughly seven times more referring domains, and there was no brand-search cushion: 80 to 90% of the opportunity sat in generic, non-brand queries, which is the hardest way to grow.

The first move was not new content. We updated existing pages for information retrieval and cleared out the Search Console errors, mostly 404s, and that alone produced a 30% traffic increase within three months. Only after that did the topical maps, seven of them, go into production: landing pages as the monetizing core, then SEO, lead generation, digital marketing, digital advertising, social media marketing and PPC, each with its own internal linking structure.

I am using this account throughout the article rather than speaking in general principles, because the steps below are the ones that produced these numbers, in this order. The full Landingi case study has the rest of the detail.

9 Steps to Create a SaaS SEO Strategy

To create a SaaS SEO strategy, work in a fixed order: technical foundation, content strategy, briefs, writer training, publishing cadence, E-E-A-T, purging, conversion, refresh.

The order is not decorative. Publishing before the technical setup is fixed means burning budget on pages Google may never index properly, and I have inherited more than one account where exactly that had been happening for a year.

1. Set up the technical foundation

Before a single article is commissioned, make sure search engines can reach, understand and index the site:

  • Submit the sitemap in Google Search Console and confirm it is being read
  • Check robots.txt and meta robots so nothing important is blocked
  • Set canonicals to control duplication, especially across parameters and pagination
  • Implement structured data for product, organization and article types
  • Build a readable URL structure that reflects the site hierarchy
  • Use 301 redirects to consolidate equity instead of leaving broken paths
  • Clear Search Console errors: crawl issues, indexing exclusions, Core Web Vitals
  • Protect crawl budget by removing or noindexing low-value pages

SaaS sites have a specific weak point here: app subdomains, documentation and marketing site often live under different setups, and the boundaries between them are where indexing problems hide.

2. Build the content strategy

This is where most of the outcome is decided. Four parts, in sequence.

a) Define the audience precisely

Write for the expertise level of the people who actually buy. If your buyers are technical, using the vocabulary of the field is not jargon, it is relevance. Terms like crawl budget, canonical URL or attribution model signal to both readers and search engines that the page belongs in that conversation. Softening the language to be beginner-friendly for an expert audience makes the page rank for nobody.

b) Analyze the competition properly

Type your main keyword into Google and look at who is actually there, then check them in Ahrefs Site Explorer. The automated “top organic competitors” list is a starting point, not an answer, because it will hand you Zapier or HubSpot, who rank for everything and compete with nobody in particular.

What I look for is which of two models a rival is running. Some sites win on intent: a homepage ranking first for the head term because it satisfies the query completely, often with modest authority behind it. Others win on coverage: hundreds of supporting articles building topical authority until the domain outranks better-funded competitors on breadth.

As I put it when I co-wrote the SaaS guide for Landingi:

“SEO is a zero-sum game” Adrian Dąbrowiecki, SEO for SaaS: How to Create SaaS SEO Strategy?, Landingi

There are ten organic positions. Taking one means someone else loses it, so pick your target deliberately rather than publishing into the void and hoping. Also check product sentiment while you are there: G2, Capterra and Trustpilot reviews influence how your brand is evaluated and increasingly what AI systems say about you when asked to compare tools.

c) Build a topical map

A topical map is the difference between a blog and an asset. Start from core topics tied to your product’s main jobs, then break each into subtopics matched to funnel stages. Time tracking software gives you “time tracking” as the core, with “best time tracking tools”, “time tracking for remote teams”, “how to track billable hours” and “Toggl vs Clockify” beneath it.

Each cluster needs a pillar page and supporting articles that link to it. That structure improves crawlability, concentrates internal linking, and tells Google the site is a coherent source on the subject rather than a collection of unrelated posts. It is also the single highest-leverage document in the whole strategy, and the one clients most often skip. On Landingi we ended up with seven maps rather than one, because a landing page builder legitimately competes in several adjacent categories, and each map got its own secondary navigation menu linking to the most important pages inside that cluster.

d) Split content into TOFU, MOFU and BOFU

  • TOFU: broad informational queries such as “what is CRM software”. Awareness, not intent.
  • MOFU: comparison queries such as “HubSpot vs Salesforce” or “best CRM for startups”. This is where SaaS deals are actually influenced.
  • BOFU: transactional queries such as “Salesforce pricing” or “[product] free trial”. Low volume, highest value per visit.

The funnel labels are useful shorthand, but they imply a straight line that does not exist. Nobody reads a TOFU article and walks obediently to a pricing page. What actually varies is how aware the person already is, a distinction Eugene Schwartz set out in Breakthrough Advertising decades before anyone used the word SEO: problem aware, solution aware, product aware. Someone problem aware does not know tools like yours exist. Someone product aware is deciding between you and one competitor. Those need completely different pages, and the awareness framing tells you which to write far more reliably than a funnel diagram.

There is also a sequencing point that took me years to apply properly: keywords come last. Decide the audience, then the topic, then look for the queries. Omid Ghiam of Marketer Milk puts it bluntly in his SaaS SEO guide:

“keywords are the last part of this strategy” Omid Ghiam, B2B SaaS SEO guide, Marketer Milk

In practice that means holding one variable and swapping the other. Audience “freelance designers” plus topic “portfolios” produces one keyword set; the same audience with topic “software” produces a different one; marketers plus portfolios produces a third. Each combination is a quarter of content planning, and it stops keyword tools from dictating a strategy they cannot see the business behind.

Beyond that, it helps to think in query paths: the sequence a buyer moves through across sessions. Something like “benefits of time tracking software” then “best time tracking software” then “Toggl vs Clockify” then “Clockify free trial”. Once you can see that path, internal links and CTAs almost design themselves, because each page’s job is to move the reader one step along it.

Pro tip: Start with BOFU, not TOFU. Comparison and alternative pages are lower volume and far easier to justify to a CFO, because the revenue attribution is direct. Build awareness content once the money pages are ranking.

3. Write proper content briefs

A brief is where SEO intent survives contact with a writer. It should name the target keyword, primary and secondary topics, the search intent behind the query, the specific questions to answer, tone, target length, internal links to include, and the SERP examples worth studying.

Without briefs you get articles that are well written and structurally wrong, and editing those costs more than briefing properly in the first place. With several writers involved, the brief is also the only thing keeping the topical map from drifting.

4. Train your writers

Good writers are not automatically good SEO writers. They need to know how to place keywords without stuffing, how to structure headings so a page is scannable, how to write title tags and meta descriptions, and how to avoid cannibalizing pages the team already published.

The mindset shift that matters most is from keywords to intent. A writer who asks “what does someone searching this actually need” produces better rankings than one hitting a density target, every time. Internal documentation and one workshop are usually enough, and they pay for themselves within a quarter in reduced editing.

5. Publish consistently

Two to four solid articles a week is the pace that builds topical coverage fast enough to matter, especially against competitors already established in the SERP. Consistency also affects crawl frequency: active sites get revisited more often.

The caveat is quality. Volume without depth now runs directly into Google’s scaled content policies, so if you cannot maintain the standard internally, hire writers rather than lowering the bar. Publishing thin content quickly is worse than publishing good content slowly.

Publishing itself is where small details get lost, and they compound across hundreds of articles. The checklist I hand every content team:

  • Title tag under 60 characters, ideally under 58, so it is not truncated
  • Meta description under 155 characters, containing the target keyword
  • URL slug set to the exact target keyword, not the auto-generated full title
  • Images compressed, ideally under 100 KB, with descriptive file names rather than IMG_4821
  • Alt text on every image, written for someone using a screen reader
  • Thumbnail named after the target keyword, which is free visibility in image search

Then interlink immediately, before you move on. Search site:yourdomain.com/blog "keyword" in Google to find existing pages that should point at the new one, and add three to five links. Every article should have at least one internal link pointing at it, because an orphan page is one Google may take months to find. Finish by resubmitting the sitemap and requesting indexing in Search Console.

6. Improve E-E-A-T

Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trust are not a checkbox, but parts of them are concretely implementable.

The About page should state clearly who is behind the product and why they can be trusted, and it should tie to the same entity referenced elsewhere. Author pages need real bios with real credentials, links to other publications and social profiles. If content is published under a brand name with no human attached, you are discarding a signal that costs nothing to add.

This applies to B2B decision content more than people expect. Someone choosing software their team will use for three years is making a consequential decision, and Google’s systems treat it accordingly.

7. Purge weak content

Over time every SaaS site accumulates dead pages: old feature announcements, posts targeting keywords the product no longer serves, three articles competing for one query. They dilute topical authority and waste crawl budget.

Audit with Search Console, Ahrefs or Screaming Frog, find pages with zero or near-zero organic traffic over the last six to twelve months, then decide per page: update, merge, redirect or delete. Merging four overlapping posts into one strong guide is usually the highest-return hour in a content audit.

8. Optimize for conversion

Traffic that does not convert is a cost. Every asset needs a defined goal and a CTA matched to the intent of the keyword that brought the visitor: soft offers on TOFU content, direct routes to pricing and signup on BOFU pages.

Test format, placement and wording. A well-optimized page can double the return from the same traffic without a single ranking improving, which is generally the cheapest growth available on a SaaS site.

9. Refresh on a schedule

Update important pages roughly every six months. In SaaS this is not about freshness signals so much as accuracy: pricing changes, features ship, competitor products get renamed, and a comparison page describing last year’s product loses trust the moment a reader spots it.

A real refresh means new data, rewritten weak sections, replaced dead links, updated screenshots and broader intent coverage. Use ranking losses and traffic decline as the prioritization signal rather than working alphabetically through the blog.

This is also the highest-return work available on any site that already has content. A new article takes three to nine months to prove itself. A well-chosen refresh of a page already ranking on the second page can move within days, because the authority and the indexing are already there. On inherited accounts I now spend the entire first month refreshing before commissioning a single new piece. On Landingi that first pass, updating existing content and clearing Search Console errors, produced 30% more traffic in three months, before a single new article went live.

How to Perform an SEO Audit for a SaaS Company

To perform an SEO audit for a SaaS company, review the technical setup, on-page elements, content coverage, backlinks and conversion paths, and identify specifically what is blocking growth.

This is the sequence I run, and I run it twice a year on active accounts.

  1. Crawl the site. Screaming Frog for broken links, redirect chains, duplicate titles, missing meta tags and slow pages. Confirm key pages are indexable and internally linked.
  2. Check the technical setup. Sitemap submitted, canonicals correct, structured data valid, mobile usability clean, architecture shallow enough to crawl.
  3. Measure Core Web Vitals. PageSpeed Insights and Lighthouse, on mobile first. Heavy scripts and uncompressed images are the usual offenders on marketing sites.
  4. Assess content coverage. Is there content at every funnel stage, and do TOFU posts link forward to comparison and pricing pages? Ahrefs or Semrush will show the gaps against competitors.
  5. Evaluate backlinks. Quality and relevance over quantity. Identify lost links worth reclaiming and toxic patterns worth disavowing, then mine competitor profiles for outreach targets.
  6. Review conversion paths. Do CTAs match the intent of each page, do forms work, is the trial flow smooth, are the money pages internally linked from the traffic pages?
  7. Find cannibalization. Locate pages competing for the same query and consolidate. On mature SaaS blogs this is the most common hidden cause of stalled rankings.

How to Perform Keyword Research for SaaS SEO

To perform keyword research for SaaS SEO, identify what buyers search at each stage of the journey, then group those queries into content types matched to intent.

Start with what the product does: features, use cases, the problems it solves, the tools it replaces. Expand with Ahrefs, Semrush and the existing Search Console data, which is the most underused keyword source on any site that already gets traffic.

Then classify by intent rather than volume. “Best CRM for freelancers” is a comparison query needing a listicle or comparison page. “HubSpot pricing” is a decision query needing a page built to convert. Building clusters around a path, such as “email automation tools” to “Mailchimp vs ConvertKit” to “ConvertKit trial”, produces a content plan instead of a keyword list.

Always open the actual SERP before committing. Google shows you exactly which format it rewards for that query. If the results are all listicles and you publish a product page, you are not competing, whatever the difficulty score says.

Pro tip: In SaaS, “[competitor] alternatives” and “[competitor] vs [competitor]” are usually the highest-ROI keywords on the whole map. Low volume, unambiguous intent, and the searcher is already shopping.

How to Build Backlinks for a SaaS Website

To build backlinks for a SaaS website, publish on other credible sites in your space and own the content other people need to cite. Buy nothing you cannot see.

The tactic that worked best for me, and that I still recommend to founders with more time than budget, is writing for other publications in the category. Not generic guest posts, which content managers now ignore by the hundred, but a specific offer: identify a valuable keyword the target site is not ranking for, do the research, and offer to write the piece that ranks for it. Going to the founder rather than the content team roughly doubles the response rate, because you are offering a business outcome rather than a favour.

On pricing, be realistic. Reputable agencies charge in the region of $200 to $1,000 for a genuine placement on a relevant site. Anything materially cheaper is coming from a network, and networks are what algorithm updates are built to find. Link packages sold per hundred, and any PBN arrangement, are a liability disguised as an asset.

Once a site has content ranking in the top three for useful queries, some links arrive on their own, because people cite what they find. It is never enough on its own for a new domain, but it changes the ratio of work to result considerably.

How to Measure SaaS SEO

To measure SaaS SEO, track non-brand organic clicks, assisted signups and revenue per page rather than rankings.

The first thing I ask a client with an existing site is whether their growth or analytics team can export the top converting pages, by signup volume and by conversion rate. That single report tells you what commercial intent actually looks like in their business, which is usually different from what a keyword tool would guess. It has redirected more strategies than any competitor analysis I have run.

The reporting stack that covers this without much overhead: Search Console for query and indexing data, GA4 for behaviour, and a Looker Studio dashboard filtered into three views, all organic, blog only, and non-brand only. Non-brand is the one that matters, because brand searches would have found you anyway. SaaS teams already running Amplitude or Mixpanel can go further and track marketing-site behaviour through to in-product activation, which is where the real answer about content value lives.

How SaaS SEO Works in the AI Search Era

SaaS SEO now has to earn citations inside AI answers as well as positions in Google, and the two do not correlate as neatly as most teams assume.

The clearest evidence I have comes from comparing Landingi against Unbounce, a competitor with roughly 202,000 monthly organic visits in classic search against Landingi’s 71,000. On traditional metrics it is not close. On visibility inside AI systems it inverts:

SurfaceLandingiUnbounce
Google AI Overviews3,7001,600
ChatGPT988163
Perplexity34494
Gemini22335
Copilot5516

A site with a third of the traffic appearing two to six times more often across every AI surface tells you these are separate channels with separate rules. What produced it was content structured for information retrieval rather than for a keyword: direct answers stated plainly, claims that can be checked, clean heading hierarchy, and named authors with genuine expertise attached to their topics. That is the same work that wins featured snippets, applied consistently across a whole topical map instead of on individual pages.

The practical takeaway for any SaaS team: track your presence in AI answers separately from your rankings, because you can be losing one while winning the other, and right now nobody’s dashboard shows both by default.

What Is the Difference Between SaaS SEO and Traditional SEO?

The difference between SaaS SEO and traditional SEO is that SaaS SEO has to serve long sales cycles, recurring revenue and products complex enough that buyers need educating before they can evaluate.

Traditional SEOSaaS SEO
ConversionPurchase or enquiryTrial, demo, then activation
Sales cycleShort, often single-sessionWeeks to months, multiple stakeholders
Value metricOrder valueLifetime value of a subscription
Content needProduct or service pagesFull funnel plus comparisons and alternatives
Update cadenceOccasionalContinuous, product changes constantly
Main riskLosing rankingsRanking for traffic that never converts

SaaS sites also carry structural problems others do not: overlapping features that create cannibalization, documentation competing with marketing pages, and international audiences arriving from day one because software has no shipping radius. That last point is why so many SaaS companies need international SEO earlier than they expect. On Landingi we translated the site into Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Danish and Polish, and the reasoning was mechanical rather than aspirational: if a search engine has to translate your page to serve a market, that is processing cost it would rather not pay, and a competitor publishing natively in that language gets the preference. That decision is what turned a Poland-only brand into one acquiring customers in the US and across Europe.

What Is B2B SaaS SEO?

B2B SaaS SEO targets how companies research and evaluate software, which is slower, more comparative and involves more people than a consumer purchase.

A B2C user can decide alone in an afternoon. A B2B buyer builds a shortlist, gets budget approval, involves IT on security, and returns to the same comparison page three times over six weeks. Your content has to survive that scrutiny rather than just win a click.

In practice that means broad topics for early attention, comparison and alternative pages for the shortlisting phase, in-depth guides and case studies for the evaluator who needs to justify the decision internally, and solution pages optimized for segment-specific terms such as “project management software for agencies” or “CRM for real estate”. On Placester, exactly that vertical-specific angle did most of the work.

How to Choose a SaaS SEO Consultant

To choose a SaaS SEO consultant, look for someone who has scaled traffic and conversions for software specifically, not general SEO experience with one SaaS case study attached.

The questions worth asking:

  • Show me a SaaS or B2B tech account, not local or e-commerce work
  • How do you structure a topical map, and can I see one you built?
  • How do you prioritize between BOFU pages and awareness content?
  • How will you report on trials and revenue rather than rankings?
  • How do you work with our content and product marketing teams?

The last one separates useful consultants from expensive ones. SaaS SEO that runs isolated from product marketing produces content describing a version of the product that no longer exists. Anyone who cannot explain how they will plug into your existing team is selling you a report, not growth.

What Are the Best SaaS SEO Tools?

The best SaaS SEO tools are Ahrefs, Semrush, Google Search Console, Screaming Frog, Surfer SEO, Clearscope, Frase, Hotjar and Microsoft Clarity, which together cover the full workflow.

Search Console first, always: real queries, indexing status, actual performance data straight from Google. Ahrefs and Semrush for keyword discovery, competitor analysis and rank tracking, including across countries. Screaming Frog for crawling and technical issues. Surfer and Clearscope for content structure, treated as guidance rather than a score to chase. Frase for accelerating briefs. Hotjar and Clarity for what happens after the click, which is the half of SaaS SEO most teams never look at.

None of these decides anything. They tell you where to look, and on a SaaS account the hardest judgement, which market and which funnel stage deserves the next quarter, is not in any dashboard.

What Are the Limitations of SaaS SEO?

The limitations of SaaS SEO are slow results, heavy content demands, and the difficulty of keeping content aligned with a product that changes every sprint.

Time is the real constraint. Meaningful traffic takes months, and in a competitive category six to twelve is realistic. For a pre-seed company that needs customers this quarter, SEO is the wrong first channel, and I say so on discovery calls more often than is good for business.

The second limitation is maintenance. SaaS content decays faster than any other vertical because the product it describes keeps moving. Budget for updates from the start or accept that year-two content will quietly become inaccurate.

The third is the trap of volume over intent. It is entirely possible to build impressive traffic that produces no trials. Without tight coordination between SEO, content and product marketing, that is the default outcome rather than the exception.

What Is the Role of Landing Pages in SaaS SEO?

The role of landing pages in SaaS SEO is to capture high-intent, conversion-focused keywords and turn that intent into a trial, demo or signup.

Blog posts serve informational intent. Landing pages serve commercial intent, ranking for terms like “CRM software for startups”, “email marketing tool pricing” or “[product] free trial”, where the searcher is already deciding. They also contribute to the site’s authority on commercial topics, which is the part teams focused entirely on the blog tend to miss.

To do that they need a specific keyword focus, unique title and H1, internal links from relevant content, fast loading, and copy that answers the query on the way to the CTA. Building separate pages for industries, use cases and user types multiplies the addressable queries, provided each page contains something genuinely different. If they differ only by a swapped noun, you have built doorway pages, and Google’s scaled content policies now name that directly.

The other job of a landing page is structural: it is the bridge between a TOFU reader and the product. If your best-performing article links to nothing but other articles, the funnel has no exit.
