TL;DR: Key Takeaway
verdict
Rock The Rankings is the MADX Digital alternative for B2B SaaS teams between $2M and $50M ARR that want the same SaaS-only, AI-search-led practice without a 12-month term, with Founder, Justin Berg, on the account, tiers published from $5,050 a month, month to month, and a demo forecast written before the agreement. Discovered Labs ranks highest among the other alternatives for teams that want AI-engineered content at volume on performance-based terms. LoudFace is the pick for teams that want GEO reported per engine every week on a three-month engagement. MADX remains the right choice for a SaaS company that wants SEO, GEO, and digital PR from one London team and is comfortable committing for a year.

- AI search optimization
- SaaS SEO
- Solution-aware page production
- Citation building and digital PR
- Technical SEO
- AI search attribution and forecasting
- Month to month from $5,050, where MADX's published tiers run on 12-month terms with a dearer three-month rolling option, and content is inside the entry tier rather than from $9,500

- Founder, Justin Berg, in SEO since 2007, runs every account with senior operators across 300+ B2B SaaS engagements, and a 5.0 across 14 Clutch reviews
- No in-house digital PR team; placements on the sources the engines trust are built into the program, but a SaaS company that wants a PR retainer as a separate line should look at MADX or Siege Media.
- Search and AI search for B2B SaaS only; paid and design stay with other partners.

What does MADX Digital do, and what does it cost?
+MADX Digital is a London SaaS-only SEO and GEO agency founded in 2021 that runs SEO, AI search optimization, content, digital PR, and link building as one program. Its published tiers are Authority at $5,500, Growth at $9,500, and Scale at $14,500 a month on 12-month terms, with Enterprise from $20,000, a dearer rolling option on a three-month minimum, AI search plans from $3,500, and a one-off AI Search Growth Plan at $4,500.
Why look for a MADX Digital alternative?
+The reasons buyers give are the term, content sitting outside the entry tier, results reported in traffic rather than pipeline, and wanting the founder on the account. None of them is a complaint about the work; MADX holds 4.9 across 14 Clutch reviews. They are preferences about how the engagement is shaped.
Which MADX alternative is best for a fintech?
+Skale and Siege Media both carry fintech rosters; Rock The Rankings runs a fintech practice with Lendbuzz and MoonPay in its published record. Ask each for a named fintech result and for how regulated prompts are handled in the baseline.
How much do MADX alternatives cost?
+On this page, SimpleTiger starts at $4,000 a month, LoudFace at $5,000, Rock The Rankings at $5,050, Discovered Labs at €5,495, Omniscient Digital at $10,000, Minuttia quotes from a $5,000 minimum, and Skale and Siege Media quote per client, with Siege's typical engagement at $50,000 to $199,999.
Do any MADX alternatives offer month-to-month terms?
+Rock The Rankings, Discovered Labs, and SimpleTiger are month to month; LoudFace runs a three-month initial engagement; Omniscient is annual; the rest quote their terms.
How is this list scored, and did you rank yourself first?
+We did. Rock The Rankings publishes this list and ranks itself, and every agency on the board is scored on the same seven weighted criteria shown above; MADX itself is profiled and not scored. The routing under our entry points to a competitor where the fit is theirs.
