B2B SEO Agency
B2B SEO Agency Built for Pipeline & Revenue
Commercial Keyword Strategy & CRM-Integrated Attribution That Ties Organic Search to Closed Deals
B2B buyers research for weeks before they fill out a form. If you're not ranking for the questions they're asking, your competitors are capturing that demand. We build SEO strategies that attract decision-makers — not just traffic — connecting organic search directly to your pipeline through content that educates, qualifies, and converts high-value prospects.
Companies we've worked with
Visionary Marketing is a UK B2B SEO agency working with SaaS, professional services, and technology businesses. Specialisms: funnel-stage keyword strategy, CRM-integrated organic-to-pipeline attribution (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, 6sense), ABM-aligned content, and AI search citation. Founder-led delivery. No long-term contracts. Newcastle-based.
Funnel-Stage Strategy
The B2B Funnel, Mapped to Organic Search
Different stages of your buyer's research need different content, different keywords, different conversion goals. Treating B2B SEO as one undifferentiated programme is what gets sales teams ignoring the reporting.
TOFU — Awareness
Doesn't know they have the problem yet
Query patterns
How to / what is / why does — broad educational queries
Content types
Educational long-form, problem-framing pieces, industry-stat content
Conversion goal
Brand awareness, AI-search citation share, organic-to-newsletter signups
MOFU — Consideration
Knows they have the problem, evaluating approaches
Query patterns
Best [category] / [category] for [vertical] / [use-case] tools
Content types
Category guides, comparison content, framework pieces, calculator/tool content
Conversion goal
Newsletter signups, gated resources, demo bookings from informed buyers
BOFU — Decision
Comparing specific vendors, ready to buy
Query patterns
[Vendor] vs [vendor] / [vendor] alternatives / [vendor] pricing
Content types
Comparison pages, integration pages, security/compliance pages, named-account content
Conversion goal
Direct demo bookings, sales-qualified opportunity creation
Customer expansion
Existing customers researching upsell / new use cases
Query patterns
[Vendor] [feature] / [vendor] integration with [other tool]
Content types
Documentation as SEO assets, advanced use-case content, customer-story content
Conversion goal
Account expansion, lower churn through self-service success

Case studies
Three B2B Engagements, Three Different Pipeline Outcomes
B2B SaaS · Series A · £4M ARR
Challenge
Pre-product-market-fit organic traffic that didn't convert. Generic 'how to' content ranking but not driving demos.
What we did
Rebuilt around BOFU comparison content. 14 vs-competitor pages. CRM integration with HubSpot for MQL attribution.
Outcome
MQLs from organic: 8 → 41/month over 9 months. £1.8M opportunity pipeline year 1.
Professional services · £12M revenue
Challenge
Strong inbound pipeline from referrals — but invisible to net-new buyers. No organic non-brand traffic.
What we did
Built sector-specific service pages (8 verticals × 4 services). Targeted 'consultancy for [sector]' queries. Salesforce integration.
Outcome
Net-new opportunity volume from organic: £580k pipeline contribution year 1. 3 of 4 largest deals year 1 sourced from organic.
B2B fintech orchestration platform · Series B
Challenge
Technical buyer wasn't being reached by generic SaaS-SEO content. Engineering teams research differently.
What we did
Developer-doc-as-SEO strategy. Integration pages for 18 partner products. Named-entity content. AI search citation push.
Outcome
Organic non-brand traffic: 9× over 14 months. Paid CAC −64% by month 14. AI-search citations: 3 → 22 of 50 monitored queries.
"I've worked with Chris on multiple occasions, and I can confidently say that he is an outstanding professional in the field of SEO optimisation. His strategic approach and attention to detail consistently yield exceptional outcomes."
— Jack Burke, Boxpod Commercial Property
"Chris is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to SEO. He also goes the extra mile when it comes to researching and testing new methods, so he's always up to speed with the latest SEO developments."
— Paul Quigley, durhamlane (B2B sales acceleration)
Channel Comparison
Organic vs Paid: When Each Wins for B2B
Both channels matter. The honest framing isn't 'organic vs paid' — it's where each channel wins on the buyer journey.
Where paid wins
- Highest-intent BOFU queries with clear unit economics
- Time-sensitive campaigns (event-driven, product launches)
- Account-targeted display retargeting on identified accounts
- Geographic expansion test-and-learn
- Filling pipeline gaps within a single sales quarter
Where organic wins
- Mid-funnel research and consideration stages (paid CPCs are uneconomic here)
- Buyer journeys longer than 90 days (cumulative content visits matter more than first click)
- Comparison and integration searches (where buyers research vendors)
- AI search citation share (LLMs increasingly answer B2B research queries)
- Brand authority compounding over multi-year horizons
Engagements run by Chris Coussons, founder of Visionary Marketing. 15+ years in performance marketing including £250k-pipeline-from-zero-budget-SEO at durhamlane (a B2B sales acceleration agency) and Performance Marketing Manager work across multiple Series A/B startups. Most relevant credential for B2B specifically: he sits in client pipeline meetings, not just marketing meetings.
Pricing
B2B SEO Pricing
We don't publish standard B2B SEO packages because B2B engagements vary so widely on ACV, sales-cycle length, content production capability, and CRM/integration complexity. A B2B SaaS startup with a 30-day cycle and £6k ACV needs a fundamentally different programme from a professional services consultancy with a 6-month cycle and £80k ACV.
Most B2B engagements with us land between £3,200/month for a Series A SaaS with a single ICP through to £8,500/month for a multi-product enterprise B2B with full CRM integration and ABM-aligned content. We'll quote a fixed number after a 30-minute scoping conversation that maps your sales cycle, current pipeline mix, and integration complexity.

B2B SEO Case Studies: Pipeline Impact, Not Traffic Reports
Organic Pipeline Growth
B2B SaaS Platform
Commercial Content Rebuild
Challenge: A growing SaaS company had published 200+ blog posts over three years with zero measurable pipeline impact. Content was generic, unfocused, and didn't match what their buyers were actually searching for.
Strategy: We audited every page, consolidated 60% of thin content, and rebuilt the remaining pages around commercial intent keywords mapped to their sales funnel. Competitor comparison pages, use-case guides, and solution-specific landing pages replaced generic thought pieces.
Result: Organic pipeline grew by **+340%** in 6 months. The sales team began using content in outreach for the first time. Cost per organic SQL dropped by 55%.
Organic Pipeline Value (Year 1)
Professional Services Firm
B2B SEO + CRM Integration
Challenge: A mid-market consultancy had no organic visibility. All leads came from referrals and expensive events. They needed a scalable, measurable acquisition channel.
Strategy: We built a content architecture around their core service areas, created expert-level guides for each practice, implemented HubSpot integration for full attribution, and launched a targeted link building campaign in their industry.
Result: Generated **£420K** in organic pipeline value within 12 months. Organic became their second-largest lead channel. Monthly organic SQLs grew from zero to 8.
Cost Per SQL
B2B Technology Company
Keyword Strategy + Attribution
Challenge: A B2B tech company was over-reliant on paid search, spending £25K/month on Google Ads. Leadership wanted to reduce acquisition costs without sacrificing lead volume.
Strategy: We identified the highest-converting PPC keywords and built organic content to capture the same intent. Commercial landing pages, competitor comparison content, and technical evaluation guides replaced paid dependency.
Result: Cost per SQL dropped by **55%** as organic captured demand previously served by paid. Total lead volume increased by 30% while overall marketing spend decreased.
The B2B Challenge
Why Most SEO Agencies Fail at B2B
Most SEO agencies are built for B2C — high-volume keywords, consumer content, and traffic-based reporting. They apply the same playbook to B2B and wonder why it doesn't generate leads. The problem is fundamental: B2B SEO operates under completely different rules.
B2B keywords have lower search volume but dramatically higher value per click. A single organic visitor searching "enterprise resource planning software comparison" could represent a £100K+ deal. Standard agencies dismiss these keywords because the volume looks small. A B2B SEO agency understands that 50 highly qualified visits per month is worth more than 50,000 irrelevant ones.
Attribution is the critical gap. B2B deals take 30 to 180+ days to close. A prospect reads your content in January, returns three more times over the following months, and closes in June. Without CRM-integrated multi-touch attribution, there's no way to connect that journey. Most agencies can't do this — which means they can't prove ROI — which means SEO budgets get cut.
The content challenge is equally misunderstood. B2B buyers are experts in their field. They don't want "5 Tips for Better Productivity" — they want deep technical analysis, honest product comparisons, and frameworks they can use to build internal business cases. Creating that content requires genuine subject matter expertise, not content mills.

Client Feedback
What B2B Marketing Leaders Say
"We'd been blogging for three years with nothing to show for it. Visionary audited our content, killed 60% of it, rebuilt the rest around buyer intent, and tripled our organic pipeline in six months. The difference was immediate."
J. Henderson
Head of Marketing, B2B SaaS Company
"For the first time, I can show the board exactly how much pipeline comes from organic search. That changed the budget conversation entirely. SEO went from a 'nice to have' to our highest-ROI channel."
R. Patel
CMO, Professional Services Firm
"They don't write fluff content. Every piece targets a specific stage in our buying cycle. Our sales team actually uses the content in their outreach now — that's never happened with any previous agency."
A. Morgan
VP Growth, B2B Technology Company
The B2B SEO Investment
Why B2B Companies Can't Afford to Ignore SEO
Your buyers research before they contact sales
67% of the B2B buyer journey happens online before a prospect ever speaks to your sales team. If your content doesn't appear during that research phase, you're invisible to the buying committee until a competitor has already shaped their requirements.
Organic search compounds — paid search doesn't
Every month of B2B SEO investment builds on the previous month. Content authority compounds. Domain authority grows. After 12 months, your cost per organic lead is a fraction of paid search — and it keeps decreasing.
Reduce dependency on paid channels
B2B companies spending £10K–£50K/month on paid search can dramatically reduce acquisition costs by capturing the same commercial intent organically. The traffic doesn't stop when the budget runs out.
Content becomes a sales enablement asset
The best B2B SEO content serves double duty. It ranks in search results and your sales team uses it in outreach, proposals, and nurture sequences. One investment, two channels of pipeline impact.
B2B Pipeline Metrics
"Pipeline over pageviews. Revenue over rankings. Every keyword we target has a commercial purpose tied to your sales funnel."
Rocketseed: All-Time Google Ads Lead Record in 3 Months
Rocketseed's previous freelancer had drifted the account into a spam-optimisation loop — the bid algorithm was learning from form fills the sales team wouldn't action.

B2B SEO Pricing
How Much Does B2B SEO Cost?
B2B SEO pricing reflects the complexity of your market, the depth of content required, and the level of CRM integration and attribution reporting you need. B2B SEO requires deeper expertise and more strategic content than consumer SEO — and the investment reflects that.
Most B2B companies investing seriously in organic pipeline spend £2,500–£8,000 per month. The range depends on content volume, competitive landscape, and whether you need full pipeline attribution setup. Cheap SEO produces cheap results — templated content that your buyers ignore.
The real question is: what's the cost of not ranking for commercial keywords? If your competitors are capturing 50 organic leads per month that should be yours, and your average deal value is £50K, the opportunity cost dwarfs any agency fee. B2B SEO is one of the few channels where the maths gets better every month.
At Visionary, B2B SEO programmes start from £2,500 per month with no long-term contracts. Month-to-month, cancel anytime. We believe the results speak for themselves.

Rocketseed's previous freelancer had drifted the account into a spam-optimisation loop — the bid algorithm was learning from form fills the sales team wouldn't action. We reset the conversion signal upstream with offline conversion uploads from the CRM, then rebuilt the campaign architecture and audience layering around qualified-lead value.
Three months after the rebuild went live, the programme had broken Rocketseed's internal record for most Google Ads leads ever generated in any 3-month window — and the leads were quality the sales team could action.
