Rock the Rankings vs. SimpleTiger

The short answer

Choose SimpleTiger if you want a SaaS-only agency with nearly two decades behind it running SEO, GEO, paid search and social, email, digital PR and Webflow design as one pipeline engine, with a dollar value put on every ranking, a 90-day ranking promise, and a client account manager on every package. Choose Rock the Rankings if your board wants a pipeline number someone will be held to, you want the prices on the site rather than a demo, your CRM files AI-sourced demos as Direct, and you want the founder on the account rather than an account manager.

Comparison methodology

Scored on what SimpleTiger publishes on its own site, checked 14 November 2026. Nothing from sales calls or third parties.

Read more

We read SimpleTiger's pricing page, including its package descriptions, inclusions and pricing FAQ, and its GEO, search visibility and 90-day ranking pages, and scored only what those pages say. Rock the Rankings is scored on its published pricing, process and client results pages. Where SimpleTiger 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 SimpleTiger does not. Lose means SimpleTiger 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.

01 · Pricing and contract terms

What you pay, and what you are locked into

Both agencies run month to month on 30 days' notice. SimpleTiger publishes a package ladder; Rock the Rankings publishes the prices.

SimpleTiger's pricing page lists five Pipeline packages and four SEO plus GEO/AEO packages, from Kickstart to Dominate, each described by scope and growth stage with a Schedule Demo button and no price; every package is customised on content production, link building and consulting, and all include 24/7 Slack access, a proprietary project portal, performance reporting and a client account manager.

Its FAQ explains the pricing as starting at 5 percent of revenue or funding at each stage, against a SaaS industry average it puts at 8 percent, and the main difference between packages as execution capacity for content and links. Terms are month to month with 30 days' notice and no long-term contract.

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.

SimpleTiger

  • Published prices: Nine packages, no figures; sized at 5 percent of revenue or funding
  • Contract term: Month to month, no long-term contract
  • Exit notice: 30 days
  • Onboarding fee: Not public

Rock the Rankings

  • Published prices: Yes, three tiers
  • Contract term: Monthly, no minimum
  • Exit notice: 30 days, any month
  • Onboarding fee: None

The honest comparison: SimpleTiger is the better pick if you want the package sized to your revenue rather than to a tier, with a published logic for why. A ladder that scales execution capacity with stage, from seed to enterprise, is a sensible way to price a SaaS agency.

Rock the Rankings is the better pick if you want the number before the demo rather than a package sized to your revenue after it. The tradeoff is that we start focused and scale as the forecast proves out, and we do not bundle paid or design.

"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."

02 · Forecasting

Who commits to the number before you sign

Both agencies put a number on the work before you sign. They commit to different things.

SimpleTiger says it puts a dollar value behind each ranking placement, which a client quote on its pricing page echoes, publishes an SEO ROI calculator and guide for estimating return before starting, and maintains a 90-day ranking promise; its Invoca case reports a 41:1 ROI and $3M in revenue in under ten months from AI and organic search. The promise is about rankings; whether a pipeline number is forecast and committed to before signing is 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.

SimpleTiger

  • Pre-contract forecast: Dollar value per ranking; public ROI calculator
  • Scenarios: Not public
  • Commitment: 90-day ranking promise
  • Re-forecast cadence: Not public

Rock the Rankings

  • Pre-contract forecast: Yes, on your GA4 and CRM data
  • Scenarios: Conservative, realistic, optimistic
  • Commitment: The conservative scenario
  • Re-forecast cadence: Day 90, then quarterly

The honest comparison: SimpleTiger is the better pick if rankings in 90 days is the commitment you want, because it publishes one. Valuing every placement in dollars also makes the programme easy to defend line by line.

Rock the Rankings is the better pick if the number the board wants is demos, not positions. The conservative scenario is what we are held to at day 90 and quarterly after; it leans on benchmarks only when CRM data is withheld.

03 · AI search

How each agency gets you named when buyers ask ChatGPT for your category

SimpleTiger treats SEO and GEO as one programme and tracks citations on three engines. We baseline five before anything ships.

SimpleTiger's GEO service runs SEO and AI search as one programme, opens with a GEO discovery and audit, tracks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Grok and Google AI Overviews, and offers a free AI search visibility audit showing where your brand appears and does not across AI platforms; a Gainsight client quote on its pricing page credits it with introducing GEO tracking and a dedicated prompts framework for monitoring AI search presence against competitors. It publishes an AI Search Report and an AEO guide.

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.

SimpleTiger

  • Engines covered: ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Grok, AI Overviews
  • Baseline before work: Free AI search visibility audit; GEO discovery and audit
  • Off-site surfaces worked: Link building, digital PR, press placements
  • Day-90 review: Not public

Rock the Rankings

  • Engines covered: ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Mode, AI Overviews
  • Baseline before work: Yes, before any page ships
  • Off-site surfaces worked: Citations at DR 50+ by manual outreach
  • Day-90 review: Against the conservative scenario

The honest comparison: SimpleTiger is the better pick if you want GEO folded into an SEO programme that has run for SaaS companies for nearly two decades, with press-grade placements feeding the citation layer and a free audit before any conversation.

Rock the Rankings is the better pick if you want five engines in the baseline and the programme held to a forecast, and press placements are not the citation layer you need. 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"

04 · Attribution and reporting

How each agency proves the demos came from search when the CRM says Direct

SimpleTiger builds pipeline attribution into its packages. We apply one rule to every contact.

SimpleTiger runs a live pipeline dashboard connected to your CRM with multi-touch attribution and CAC by channel, builds pipeline attribution into its Pipeline packages from Startup upward with intelligence across organic, AI and paid at Growth and above, and reports through a proprietary project portal. How AI-sourced demos filed as Direct are reconciled, and whether a self-reported source is read beside the CRM, 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.

SimpleTiger

  • Dashboard: Live, CRM-connected
  • Attribution model: Multi-touch; CAC by channel; Direct reconciliation Not public
  • Self-reported source used: Not public
  • Revenue reported: ROI and revenue in cases (Invoca 41:1, $3M)

Rock the Rankings

  • Dashboard: Monthly reconciliation, no live view
  • Attribution model: The Two-Witness Rule, contact-level tiers
  • Self-reported source used: Yes, read with CRM source
  • Revenue reported: QBR opens with the pipeline number

The honest comparison: SimpleTiger is the better pick if you want organic, AI and paid attributed in one view, because it runs all three and its pipeline intelligence is built to read them together. A single portal across channels is something a search-only agency cannot offer.

Rock the Rankings is the better pick if organic is the only channel in question and the problem is AI-sourced demos filed as Direct. Our reconciliation is monthly, done by a person, at the contact level.

05 · Paid, email, PR and web design

What else each agency can run for you

This is where SimpleTiger covers ground we do not.

SimpleTiger runs paid search and paid social with flat-rate management scaled to spend, visual ad creative and PPC landing pages, email marketing for nurture and churn, digital PR, and Webflow web design from marketing sites to a design subscription with unlimited requests and cancel-anytime terms; its Pipeline Enterprise package spans organic, AI, paid and lifecycle email, and it says conversion data from paid informs which SEO assets to invest in. It serves B2B, B2C and B2B2C SaaS and AI companies across more than twenty named software categories.

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

SimpleTiger

  • Paid search and social: Named services with flat-rate management
  • Email marketing: Named service
  • Digital PR: Named service
  • Web design and design subscription: Named services, Webflow partner

Rock the Rankings

  • Paid search and social: Not offered
  • Email marketing: Not offered
  • Digital PR: Not offered; placements by manual outreach
  • Web design and design subscription: Not offered

The honest comparison: SimpleTiger is the better pick if you want search, paid, lifecycle and the website from one agency, with paid conversion data feeding SEO priorities. For a team consolidating vendors, that is the whole demand engine under one roof.

Rock the Rankings is the better pick if you want the organic and AI search programme alone, measured against a number. Paid, email and design will need a second partner; 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."

06 · Who does the work

Who you will actually talk to after the sales call

SimpleTiger gives every package a client account manager. We give every engagement the founder.

SimpleTiger states that all packages include a client account manager, 24/7 Slack access and a proprietary project portal, and its higher tiers add deeper strategic alignment, faster decision loops and, at Dominate, an embedded weekly strategic partnership; client quotes on its pricing page praise its onboarding and responsiveness, and several name founder Sean directly. Whether the founder is involved in delivery on current engagements is 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.

SimpleTiger

  • Account manager layer: Client Account Manager on every package
  • Founder on delivery: Not public
  • Seniority stated: Strategic engagement deepens by tier
  • Communication: 24/7 Slack; project portal

Rock the Rankings

  • Account manager layer: None
  • Founder on delivery: Yes, every engagement
  • Seniority stated: Founder plus senior strategist
  • Communication: Slack and email, same day

The honest comparison: SimpleTiger is the better pick if you want a named account manager, a portal and round-the-clock Slack as standard, with strategic depth that rises with the package. For a larger team coordinating several channels, that structure is what keeps the engine running.

Rock the Rankings is the better pick if a client account manager on every package is the role you are trying to avoid. The founder runs the account; output scales to the forecast, not to a package tier.

"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 SimpleTiger wins

When is SimpleTiger the better fit?

SimpleTiger is the better fit when you want the whole demand engine from one SaaS-only agency with a long record. Its Pipeline packages run SEO, GEO, paid search and social, lifecycle email and web design as one system, with pipeline attribution built in from the first tier, a client account manager, 24/7 Slack and a project portal on every package, and strategic engagement that deepens to a weekly embedded partnership at the top. It puts a dollar value on every ranking, publishes an ROI calculator so you can estimate return before starting, and backs a 90-day ranking promise. Its proof is specific: Invoca's 41:1 ROI and $3M in revenue in under ten months from AI and organic search, JotForm ranking first for its target keyword in two months with press on Forbes and Inc., Gelato's 75,000 new ranking keywords in a year, and a Gainsight quote crediting it with a prompts framework for AI search. If you want one agency across search, paid and the website, this is a strong one.

It is also the better fit if you sell B2C or B2B2C SaaS, which SimpleTiger serves and we do not.

If what you need is a demo number someone will be held to before any invoice, with the prices on the site and the founder on the account, that is the case we are built for.

FAQs

Rock the Rankings vs. SimpleTiger: common questions.

If yours is not here, bring it to the call. Same unpolished answer either way.

How does Rock the Rankings pricing compare to SimpleTiger?

+

Both run month to month on 30 days' notice. 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 and no minimum term. SimpleTiger publishes nine named packages with no dollar figures and explains that each SEO package starts at 5 percent of revenue or funding at the stage it targets; prices come through a demo. If you need the number before the call, that is one of the two.

What happens if it is not working after 90 days?

+

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. SimpleTiger runs month to month with 30 days' notice and maintains a 90-day ranking promise; its review cadence is not published. Ask what the promise covers and what happens if rankings move but demos do not.

Does either agency give you a pipeline forecast before you sign?

+

SimpleTiger puts a dollar value on each ranking placement and publishes an SEO ROI calculator for estimating return before starting; a committed pipeline number before signing is not published, and its commitment is a 90-day ranking promise. 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 rankings are the number you want promised, SimpleTiger offers that. If demos are, that is us.

Which agency is better for AI search visibility in ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity?

+

SimpleTiger runs SEO and GEO as one programme, opens with a GEO audit and a free AI search visibility audit, tracks six engines including Claude and Grok, and a client quote credits it with a dedicated prompts framework; its Invoca case reports $3M in revenue from AI and organic search. Rock the Rankings baselines ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Mode and AI Overviews before any page ships and builds in the GEO Stack order from your own pages outward, held to a forecast. Choose SimpleTiger for GEO inside a long-running SEO programme with PR; choose us for a five-engine baseline tied to a committed number.

Who actually works on the account at Rock the Rankings vs SimpleTiger?

+

At SimpleTiger, every package includes a client account manager, 24/7 Slack access and a project portal, with strategic engagement deepening by tier to a weekly embedded partnership at Dominate; whether the founder is involved in delivery is not published. At Rock the Rankings, Founder, Justin Berg runs strategy on every engagement with a senior strategist, no account managers, and same-day Slack. One gives you an account manager as standard; the other gives you the founder.

Can we use Rock the Rankings and SimpleTiger together?

+

Yes, in one clear shape: SimpleTiger's paid search and social, email marketing or web design beside our organic and AI search programme, since we run none of those and SimpleTiger sells them as separate packages. Both running SEO and GEO would overlap. If you are choosing between us for the core programme, pick on the forecast, the published prices and who runs the account.
