TL;DR: Key Takeaway
verdict
Rock The Rankings is the Ten Speed alternative for B2B SaaS teams between $2M and $50M ARR that want a SaaS-only specialist with AI search as the core practice, Founder, Justin Berg, running the account, tiers published from $5,050 a 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 from an engineering-led team. Ten Speed remains the right choice for a company that wants a full-funnel organic program, from content refresh to digital PR and design, run by operators who built the Sprout Social content engine, across SaaS or one of the seven other industries it serves.

We reviewed public case studies, client rosters, pricing pages, and third-party reviews. One question outranks the rest: does the agency connect search activity to pipeline you can audit, or does it report traffic and hope you are impressed.

Rock The Rankings
Discovered Labs
Discovered Labs is a London organic search agency founded in 2024 by Liam Dunne and Ben Moore. It runs SEO and answer engine optimization as one service, publishes content daily through its CITABLE framework, tracks citations on its own AI Visibility Tracker, and reports in pipeline, with Instantly, incident.io, Gladia, and Granola among its clients.
Where Ten Speed added AEO to an established content practice, Discovered Labs started from AEO and built outward. It is the pick when AI citation is the whole brief and you are comfortable with a young agency; it is not the pick if a long record or a US base matters most.
Grow and Convert
Grow and Convert was founded in San Diego in 2017 by Benji Hyam and Devesh Khanal around a published method: write for buying-intent keywords and attribute the trials and demos each article produces. Ten Clutch reviewers rate it 4.8 with quality at 5.0, and Brandfolder by Smartsheet, Vocal Video, and User Interviews are clients.
For a Ten Speed buyer who wants content measured in conversions rather than traffic, it is the most direct option, with a narrower scope and a higher floor.
Virayo
Virayo, based in Boise, takes on B2B SaaS companies past product-market fit and scopes each program to trials, demos, and revenue. Each priority topic is worked across organic results, AI Overviews, review sites, listicles, communities, and LLMs under its Integrated Discovery Framework.
It is the US option on this page that built its own citation tracker, and it even counts Sprout Social, where Ten Speed's founders made their names, among its clients. The trade is the six-month initial term at $7,500 a month.
MADX Digital
Founded in London in 2021 by Perry Steward and Toni Koraza, MADX Digital works only with SaaS and tech companies. It lists monthly tiers for AI search, SEO, and digital PR on its site, works on a three-month rolling term, and averages 4.9 across 14 Clutch reviews.
It answers the SaaS-only and published-pricing preferences at once, and adds in-house PR. What it does not change is the reporting unit, since its case studies are rankings and traffic.
Skale
Skale was started in London in 2019 by Jake Stainer, who had led growth at Typeform and TravelPerk, with co-founder Italo Viale. It runs GEO and SEO as one system and reports in SQLs, signups, and MRR, with 21 Clutch reviews averaging 4.9.
Against Ten Speed it offers a SaaS-only practice, a revenue reporting unit, and a longer verified record, plus European-language coverage. It does not offer a US base or the design and research capabilities Ten Speed lists.
Omniscient Digital
Omniscient Digital began in Austin in 2019, founded by marketers who had run growth at HubSpot, Shopify, People.ai, and Workato. It reports organic in pipeline and ARR and publishes detailed research on how models select sources.
It is the mid-market, strategy-led, B2B-software option, and it asks for an annual commitment that a Ten Speed buyer used to project-sized engagements should weigh.
Siege Media
Siege Media has operated since 2012 under founder Ross Hudgens, with Austin as headquarters, four more US offices, and 50 to 249 staff. Its current positioning is full-service GEO, and Zendesk, Zapier, Asana, Intuit, and Chime are among the brands it produces content, digital PR, affiliate, Reddit, and design work for.
It is the enterprise-scale version of what Ten Speed does, with design and research reports in house and a 14-year record. It suits a six-figure program and a board that accepts traffic value as the number.
Powered by Search
Powered by Search, founded by Dev Basu in Toronto in 2009, packages paid media, SEO and LLM visibility, and RevOps as three levers with published tiers, each run by a senior-only pod. Its roster includes SentinelOne, Varonis, Basecamp, Fortra, and Elastic.
It adds paid media and RevOps that Ten Speed does not sell, with seventeen years of history behind it. It serves B2B broadly and carries no verified Clutch reviews.

FAQs
Common questions about hiring an agency
If yours is not here, bring it to the call. Same unpolished answer either way.
Why do B2B SaaS teams look for Ten Speed alternatives?
+Rarely because of the operators, who built one of the best-known organic engines in SaaS. The preferences that come up are about focus and shape: a SaaS-only practice rather than one of eight industries, AI search as the core discipline rather than an added capability, the founder on the account rather than a strategist and specialist structure, and tiers published rather than quoted.
Is Ten Speed good for B2B SaaS?
+Yes. PLG/SaaS is its first listed industry, its founders scaled Sprout Social's organic engine from $100,000 to $100 million in ARR, it has made the Inc. 5000 two years running, and its five Clutch reviews are all 5.0. It now runs full-funnel programs with content, SEO, AEO, digital PR, and design, which suits a team that wants all of that from one US agency.
How much does Ten Speed cost compared to the alternatives?
+Ten Speed prices by quote; Clutch lists a $5,000 minimum, $150 to $199 an hour, and $10,000 to $49,999 as the most common engagement. On this page, Skale starts at $4,000 a month, Rock The Rankings at $5,050, MADX Digital at $5,500, Discovered Labs at €5,495, Virayo at $7,500, Powered by Search at $9,000 for organic, Grow and Convert at $10,000, Omniscient at $120,000 a year, and Siege Media quotes per client.
Which Ten Speed alternative is US-based?
+Rock The Rankings, Grow and Convert, Virayo, Omniscient Digital, and Siege Media are US-based. Discovered Labs, MADX Digital, and Skale are in London, and Powered by Search is in Toronto.
Does Ten Speed do AI search?
+Yes. Answer engine optimization is one of its listed capabilities, and its podcast has published a data study on what AI cites for B2B evaluation-stage prompts. The differences on this page are about whether AI search is the whole practice or one capability, who runs the account, and how the program is priced.
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, with pipeline accountability carrying the most weight. Ten Speed itself is profiled but not scored, and the routing section under our entry sends you to a competitor, or back to Ten Speed, when that is the better fit.
