Rock the Rankings vs. Siege Media

Both agencies publish their terms. Siege prices by unit on a 12-month contract you can leave on 30 days' notice; we price by tier on a monthly plan.

Siege Media's minimum for content marketing is $8,000 a month. It asks for a 12-month contract given the long-term nature of SEO, and every contract includes a 30-day out clause so you can leave if budgets or strategies change. It does not charge per post; clients sign up for a number of content marketing units a month, each unit based on time, and the content strategy phase builds a project plan against those units. At proposal stage it estimates expected ROI and suggests a spend, or works backwards from a competitor's performance or your budget.

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.

Both agencies forecast before the contract. Only one publishes what it is held to.

Siege Media's proposal stage evaluates the estimated ROI it expects from the programme and brings a suggested spend; it can also model a strategy to catch and overtake a named competitor, or project performance within a budget you set, and its content strategy prioritises work by time to ROI and ability to generate conversions at scale, with the rule that if it has no clear route to ROI it does not get built. Whether the proposal forecast carries scenarios or a committed case, and what happens if it is missed, are not published.

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.

Siege's founder wrote the GEO book. We publish the baseline and the sequence.

Siege Media calls itself a full-service GEO agency and builds GEO into every engagement: mixed-media content as a defence against AI summaries, data journalism and research reports that earn mentions in AI, digital PR on publications LLMs cite, Reddit marketing and affiliate partnerships as citation surfaces, and research including a study finding versus pages predict B2B AI traffic and another that credibility statements lift mid-authority visibility 62 percent. Founder Ross Hudgens' book Generative Engine Optimization was published by Wiley, and its Mentimeter case reports 250,000 ChatGPT visits from a bottom-funnel strategy. Whether a visibility baseline is set before work ships, and which engines are tracked, are not published.

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.

Siege's headline metric is traffic value. Ours is attributed demos.

Siege Media lists analytics among its services and reports results in traffic value, $148M across clients on its content marketing page and $557K for Purple, alongside rankings, links and LLM visibility; its content strategy prioritises conversions at scale. How demos are attributed to search and AI search, and whether a self-reported source is read, are 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.

This is where Siege Media covers ground we do not.

Siege Media dedicates almost half of its content creation time to design, builds interactives like quizzes, maps and calculators, and has designers followed by 10,000 peers on Dribbble; its digital PR draws on 5,000-plus publisher relationships built over 13 years; it sells Reddit marketing, affiliate partnerships, research reports by data journalists, web design and graphic design, and runs BlueprintIQ for AI-enhanced content strategy and DataFlywheel for content updates.

It serves SaaS, fintech, e-commerce, health, travel, education, real estate and cybersecurity, and says it has navigated regulated environments and strict legal teams at the largest companies.

Rock the Rankings runs SEO, AI search, content, links and technical for B2B SaaS and tech only; we do not run design, PR, Reddit, affiliates or research reports.

Siege publishes its review structure. It does not publish who leads your account.

Siege Media describes a deep bench of internal and external experts across 13 years and a review team of SME editors, art directors and content marketing managers QAing every asset, with humans writing and AI used for outlines, line editing, image editing, brainstorming and keyword research. Who leads a given account, its seniority, and whether the founder 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.
