we can help
What did you see the last time you looked at your calendar? Block after block of meetings and strategy calls and brainstorming sessions and escalations?
Maybe, if you’re lucky, you managed to squeeze a lunch break in there somewhere, but there’s not a lot of room for heads-down time doing keyword research, crafting the perfect abandoned cart email, or hammering out a 3,000-word blog post.
Building a team of in-house experts sounds like a great idea (think of the deep knowledge of brand messaging!), but you’ve crunched the numbers, and for a fledgling B2B SaaS startup like yours, it’s not adding up.
Outsourcing your content is the obvious answer, but frequenting freelance marketplaces like Upwork and Fiverr can quickly prove that individual freelancers can be challenging to manage as you scale.
What you need is a content agency: a partner that’s flexible, reliable, and scalable. Working with a SaaS content agency is less volatile than working with individual freelancers, easily adapts to your business needs, and is a sustainable long-term investment.
Let’s take a look at 15 of the best content creation agencies that focus on product-led SEO.
1. Ten Speed
SaaS marketing agencies need to be high-delivering industry experts, and no one knows that more than Ten Speed.
Founders Nate Turner and Kevin King built the content machine at Sprout Social from the ground up — then decided to start Ten Speed so that they could do it again and again for countless other SaaS startups.
We’ve been in your shoes. Our team of in-house experts has lived and breathed the business model you’re in, and we know how to organically generate traffic that converts. Our emphasis on building sustainable traffic models that will accelerate revenue growth is a great fit for B2B (or B2B2C) companies with PLG models. We often work with Series A through Series C startups, but we can confidently work with companies in any stage of growth.
Our comprehensive marketing plans don’t begin and end with a deliverable. We take a holistic approach to marketing that will bolster your business goals. Depending on the maturity of your existing content, Ten Speed’s services can include:
- ICP development: For seed-stage startups with fledgling marketing teams, we can help carve out your niche in the market by identifying your unique idea customer profiles.
- Site optimization: We don’t shy away from technical SEO to keep your website at peak performance while boosting your SERP rankings.
- Long-form content: From thought leadership to how-to guides, we’ve written it all, and we believe that high-quality long-form content remains one of the most impactful organic traffic avenues.
- Content audits, updates, and pruning: If you’ve got a pre-existing content library, we can perform a thorough audit to identify areas for improvement where refreshes — or removal — could be helpful.
- Monthly strategy calls: When we work together, you’ll never be left in the dark. We set up recurring meetings to discuss marketing results and ongoing strategy, dovetailing our services into your existing workflow with no friction.
Our engagements typically run between $7,000 and $20,000 per month for strategy, creation, reporting, and operations, but your price may vary depending on scope.
2. Thrive Internet Marketing Agency

The age-old adage “jack of all trades but master of none” doesn’t apply here, as Thrive Internet Marketing Agency has been around for nearly twenty years and benefits from the experience and expertise of founder Matt Bowman.
Services can include:
- Local SEO content: They’ll create content to help SMBs capture local search traffic.

Trusted by Internet megaliths like Google and Amazon as well as SaaS companies like Airtable and Intercom, Animalz offers comprehensive content marketing services designed to generate leads, establish domain authority, and win search traffic.
Animalz keeps their pricing under wraps, but if you contact their team of experts, they’ll build you a bespoke marketing plan specific to your business initiatives. Some services you’ll enjoy when you work with them include:

4. Beam
Beam leverages internal knowledge to create content that performs. Co-founders Brooklin Nash, Rebecca Nash, and Sam Hembree worked together in-house before venturing off to create Beam, a content agency that positions in-house experts at the core of every marketing campaign.
If your team lacks the bandwidth to create multifaceted content marketing pieces or struggles to connect your expertise to your audience, Beam can help. Their services include:
- Expert-driven content: At the core of Beam’s marketing services you’ll find large-scale content pieces like editorial guides and case studies that make your profound industry knowledge accessible to your B2B target audience.

Beam customers can expect a $7,500 per month project minimum, but typical costs tend to creep up to the $10,000 to $12,000 per month mark. If you’re on the hunt for a content agency that can help fill the gaps in your existing content, consider Beam.
5. Omniscient Digital
Co-founded by Alex Birkett, David Ly Khim, and Allie Decker, the marketing experts at Omniscient Digital focus on organic growth for late-stage startups and B2B businesses and have helped software companies like Adobe, Jasper, and Loom grow traffic and increase conversions.
Omniscient Digital offers a variety of services, like:
- Content strategy: Content is only as good as its strategy, so if your existing content isn’t converting, Omniscient Digital creates content roadmaps to get you back on track.
- Content production: Scaling companies need content at scale, and Omniscient Digital creates and repurposes content in multiple formats to extend its reach.
- Content updates and optimization: Rather than churning out gobs of new content, they’ll update your existing content and reinforce it to target key opportunities.
For Omniscient Digital to be the right fit for your company, you’ll need to already have an established brand position and consistent messaging because they don’t offer branding development services. Plus, you can expect this to be a long-term partnership, not a one-and-done transaction.
6. Fenwick
Content, branding, design: Fenwick does it all. The brilliant minds at Fenwick understand that for your online presence to be effective, it needs to be cohesive. Based out of New York, this creative agency was founded by Chris Gillespie, and staff includes storytellers, design ingenues, and Oxford-educated managing editor, Carina Rampelt.
Fenwick has worked with B2B startups like Contently, Demandbase, and Gainsight and develops one-of-a-kind creative assets. Fenwick’s services include:

As a boutique marketing firm, Fenwick has a limited capacity for clients, but if you’re a small business looking to take your branding to the next level, they could be a fantastic partner. Expect project pricing to begin around a $5,000 minimum.
7. Siege Media
Siege Media founder Ross Hudgens understands that search engine optimization isn’t the ultimate goal: growth is.

A working relationship with Siege Media may include:
- Content writing: Copywriting that hooks readers and incorporates SEO best practices is crucial for content marketing success.
- Content strategy: From road maps to title tag optimization, Siege Media can investigate and inform your strategy, skyrocketing it to new heights.
- Digital public relations: Getting your business in front of the right people is half the battle, and Siege Media focuses on long-term visibility rather than flash-in-the-pan viral sensations.
Projects with Siege Media typically average between $50,000 and $200,000, according to Clutch. They only partner with companies whose industries have a Total Addressable Market (TAM) of $60,000 per month or higher in SEO traffic value, and 12-month contracts have 30-day exit clauses to test the waters.
