Comparison methodology
Scored on what Minuttia publishes on its own site, checked 14 November 2026. Nothing from sales calls or third parties.
We read Minuttia's home page, including its services, numbers and managing director's message, and its Meilisearch case study, and scored only what those pages say. Rock the Rankings is scored on its published pricing, process and client results pages. Where Minuttia publishes nothing on a criterion, the cell says Not public.
Win, draw and lose describe the Rock the Rankings column only. Win means we commit to more, or publish what Minuttia does not. Lose means Minuttia offers more. Draw means both agencies meet the criterion in different ways and the right choice depends on your situation.
We re-score every quarter and whenever either agency changes its published services, pricing or terms.
Researched, written and reviewed by


One of the two publishes a full price list. The other asks for an intro call or an RFP.
Minuttia publishes no prices for any service. Its site routes buyers to an intro-call form and a dedicated RFP page, its home page describes working with established brands whose content programmes it turns "from good to great", and its managing director's message asks prospects to review the portfolio, talk to clients and compare offers before deciding. Contract length and notice terms are not published.
Rock the Rankings is $5,000 for Consulting, $8,500 for Done-For-You and $15,000 for Authority a month, with no onboarding fee, on a monthly plan with no minimum term and 30 days' notice. Day 90 is the first forecast review, measured against the conservative scenario you received before signing.
The honest comparison: Minuttia is the better pick if you buy through a formal RFP or want a programme scoped to a content operation that already exists. Its managing director's note, telling you to compare offers and only proceed if it is the best fit, is the right posture for a scoped engagement.
Rock the Rankings is the better pick if an RFP is not how you buy and you want the prices and terms on the page before any call. The tradeoff is that we start focused and scale as the forecast proves out rather than scoping bespoke.
"Justin and his team have been phenomenal from Day 0, and the consistency in quality and the measurable results they have delivered have been a true transformation to our business. We are extremely happy and we have already recommended them to our friends."

Minuttia acknowledges that ROI scrutiny is high and short-term wins matter. We put a number on it before the contract.
Minuttia's home page contrasts the old playbook (little ROI scrutiny, long-term planning) with today's (high ROI scrutiny, short-term wins) and says its content playbook is designed to work in any financial environment; its strategy service builds a Keyword and Prompt Universe per client, 259 queries in the Meilisearch case with 109 of them commercial, and prioritises content by lifecycle stage and intent. It publishes no pre-contract forecast and no committed number.
Rock the Rankings builds three scenarios (conservative, realistic, optimistic) from your GA4 and CRM data before any agreement is signed, with capture rate as the only input that changes between them. The conservative scenario is the commitment, reviewed at day 90 and quarterly after.
The honest comparison: Minuttia is the better pick if you want the opportunity mapped as a full query and prompt universe before anything is written, by a team whose data study of 24,000 prompts informs which ones matter. That is a deeper map than most agencies draw.
Rock the Rankings is the better pick if a 259-query universe is less useful to the board than a demo number someone stands behind. The conservative scenario is that number; it leans on benchmarks when CRM data is withheld.
Minuttia has published more research on AI search than any agency on these pages. We publish a baseline and a sequence.
Minuttia frames SEO as "search everywhere optimisation" and AEO as a new channel beside Google rather than a replacement. Its method starts with a Keyword and Prompt Universe, adds an AI search content pipeline built to earn citations, mentions and recommendations rather than rankings, uses a proprietary AI Search Content Generator for ideas, and amplifies through digital PR and Reddit; its research includes an AI Search Visibility Data Study across 24,067 prompts on five AI platforms, a State of AEO report, a self-promotional content study and an AEO course.
Rock the Rankings baselines across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Mode and AI Overviews before work ships, then builds in the GEO Stack order: solution-aware pages first, citations second, problem-aware capture last.
The honest comparison: Minuttia is the better pick if you want an agency whose AI search method is backed by its own large-scale data and taught in its own course. A dedicated pipeline for citation-earning content, plus Reddit and PR, is a wider set of levers than we run.
Rock the Rankings is the better pick if you want a baseline measured across five named engines before anything ships, tied to a forecast rather than to a 24,000-prompt study. We start focused and scale as the forecast proves out.
"I have been impressed with Justin and team's knowledge, work ethic and commitment to improving SEO. I have been in the digital space for nearly 20 years across different verticals and Rock the Rankings is the only SEO agency that I have worked with that has made a meaningful impact to the associated business. If I found myself at another company, needing help with SEO, Justin would be my first call"
AI assistants strip referrers, so most AI-sourced demos land in your CRM as Direct.
Minuttia's reporting service is called Agent Analytics and Reporting: seeing your website the way AI does, understanding how AI systems discover, interpret and surface your content, and optimising for that visibility; its home page lists "hybrid attribution" among the concepts it works with. How demos and signups are attributed to search and AI search, and whether a self-reported source is read, is not published.
Rock the Rankings applies The Two-Witness Rule on every plan: the CRM source and the buyer's own answer are read together and every contact is tiered confirmed, recovered, probable or dark. On one client funnel, 11 CRM-attributed AI leads sat beside 809 self-reported ones, a 73× gap. Where CRM access is restricted, we work from an anonymised export under NDA.
The honest comparison: Minuttia is the better pick if the reporting you want is about how AI systems read your site, where you are cited and why, rather than a contact-level pipeline reconciliation. Agent analytics is a different and useful lens.
Rock the Rankings is the better pick if agent analytics tell you how AI reads your site but not which of your Direct demos came from it. We reconcile each contact monthly against the buyer's own answer.
This is where Minuttia covers ground we do not.
Minuttia's services run across four groups: understand (Google and AI search strategy, content marketing strategy), create (human content, AI content with human approval, design), amplify (digital PR, Reddit marketing, paid media for search and social) and improve (agent analytics). Its design service covers content, ads and website redesigns, and its paid media service promises no junior account managers on the account. Beside the services sit the research assets: the 24,067-prompt AI search study, the State of AEO report, templates, webinars and an AEO course.
Rock the Rankings runs SEO, AI search, content, links and technical only; we do not run Reddit, design, paid media or published research.
The honest comparison: Minuttia is the better pick if you want a content operation with its own design and paid arms, Reddit presence, and a team that publishes the research it works from. For an established brand rebuilding its playbook, that breadth saves vendors.
Rock the Rankings is the better pick if organic and AI search are the brief and Reddit, design and paid can stay elsewhere. We start focused and scale as the forecast proves out.
"Extremely responsive and analytical. We were impressed with the depth of knowledge brought to every meeting. Justin was great to work with. I highly recommend Rock the Rankings for your GEO/SEO needs."

Minuttia publishes its leadership and its retention figures. It does not publish how an account is staffed.
Minuttia's home page carries a message from its managing director, reports 93 percent average client retention, 17-plus months average tenure and about 63 percent of revenue from repeat clients, and positions itself against freelancers with "no capacity issues; you have all our focus and attention" and against agencies as preferring to run the content strategy end to end. Who leads a given account, its seniority, and whether the founder or managing director is involved in delivery are not published.
Rock the Rankings is founder-led through delivery: Founder, Justin Berg runs strategy on every engagement alongside a senior strategist with B2B SaaS category experience, with no account managers in between and Slack and email with same-day replies.
The honest comparison: Minuttia is the better pick if retention is the proof you trust. Clients staying 17 months on average, 93 percent retained and nearly two thirds of revenue from repeat business say more about the working relationship than any org chart.
Rock the Rankings is the better pick if retention figures are less reassuring than knowing who runs your account on day one. The founder does; output scales to the forecast, not to a roster.
"Our commercial pages were losing organic sessions month over month, and the demand coming from AI assistants was effectively invisible in our CRM. RTR pointed the first batch entirely at bottom-funnel pages. One quarter after launch, organic sessions to that page set were up 9x and demo requests attributed to search and AI had grown 2.3x. They also rebuilt how we read attribution, combining what tracking captures with what buyers tell us on the form. That surfaced roughly 12.5x more search and AI demand than our native classifier was crediting. That's the number our leadership team can actually defend."

Where Minuttia wins
Minuttia is the better fit when you are an established B2B SaaS brand rebuilding the whole content playbook for Google and AI search together. It maps a full Keyword and Prompt Universe before writing, runs human content and human-approved AI content, amplifies through digital PR and Reddit, and supplies design and paid media from the same team. The method sits on research few agencies have: an AI search visibility study across 24,067 prompts on five platforms, a State of AEO report, a self-promotional content study and an AEO course. Its numbers are specific, 50-plus B2B SaaS clients, 93 percent retention, 17-plus months average tenure, and its Meilisearch case describes AI search becoming one of the client's best acquisition channels. If you want a research-led content operation rather than a search retainer, this is a strong one.
It is also the better fit if you buy through RFP; Minuttia maintains a dedicated RFP page and invites prospects to compare offers before deciding.
If what you need is a demo number you can defend before the spend is approved, with the prices and terms on the site, that is the case we are built for.

FAQs
If yours is not here, bring it to the call. Same unpolished answer either way.
Rock the Rankings publishes its prices: $5,000 for Consulting, $8,500 for Done-For-You and $15,000 for Authority a month, with no onboarding fee, on a monthly plan with no minimum term and 30 days' notice. Minuttia publishes no prices or terms; engagements are scoped after an intro call or through its RFP page. If you need a number before the call, that is one of the two.
At Rock the Rankings, day 90 is the first forecast review: results are measured against the conservative scenario you received before signing and the plan is adjusted from there, and you can leave in any month with 30 days' notice. Minuttia's contract length, notice period and review cadence are not published; its home page says its playbook is built for high ROI scrutiny and short-term wins. Ask on the intro call.
Minuttia builds a Keyword and Prompt Universe for each client and prioritises it by lifecycle stage and intent; it publishes no scenario forecast or committed number. Rock the Rankings builds three scenarios from your GA4 and CRM data before any agreement is signed, and the conservative scenario is the number we are held to. If you want the opportunity mapped query by query, Minuttia's universe is deeper. If you want a number someone stands behind, that is us.
Minuttia treats AEO as a channel beside Google, runs a dedicated AI search content pipeline for citations and mentions, amplifies through digital PR and Reddit, and backs the method with its own study of 24,067 prompts across five AI platforms and a State of AEO report. Rock the Rankings baselines five named engines before any page ships and builds in the GEO Stack order from your own pages outward, held to a forecast. Choose Minuttia for research depth and surface breadth; choose us for a measured baseline tied to a committed number.
At Rock the Rankings, Founder, Justin Berg runs strategy on every engagement with a senior strategist, no account managers, and same-day Slack. Minuttia names its managing director and publishes retention and tenure figures, and says clients get its full focus without capacity issues; who leads a specific account, its seniority and whether leadership is involved in delivery are not published.
Usually not on content and SEO, because both run strategy, content, links and AI search as one programme and Minuttia prefers to run the content strategy end to end. Two combinations make sense: Minuttia's Reddit marketing, design or paid media beside our organic and AI search work, since we run none of those, or its AEO course and templates for an in-house team working from our plan. If you are choosing between us for the core programme, pick on the forecast and the published terms.
