Comparison methodology

Scored on what SimpleTiger and MADX publish on their own sites, checked 14 November 2026. Nothing from sales calls or third parties.

Read more

We read SimpleTiger's pricing, home, GEO and 90-day ranking pages, and MADX Digital's pricing, SaaS SEO and GEO service, methodology, about and llm-info pages, and scored only what those pages say. Rock the Rankings is scored on its published pricing, process and client results pages. Where an agency publishes nothing on a criterion, the cell says Not public.

Win, draw and lose describe the Rock the Rankings column only, scored against whichever competitor is stronger on that row. Win means we commit to more or publish more than both. Lose means at least one of them publishes or ships more. Draw means the approaches differ and the right choice depends on your situation.

We re-score every quarter and whenever any of the three agencies changes its published services, pricing or terms.

01 · Pricing and contract terms

What you pay, what you sign, and how you leave

Two of the three publish prices. One of those two asks for a year or a three-month minimum.

SimpleTiger's pricing page lists nine packages by name and scope with no dollar figures, explains that each starts at 5 percent of revenue or funding at the stage it targets, and runs month to month with 30 days' notice.

MADX Digital's pricing page lists Authority at $4,500, Growth at $8,500 and Scale at $13,500 a month on a 12-month term, with Enterprise from $20,000 and its service pages showing the same tiers $1,000 higher; you choose the 12-month term for the best rate or a rolling contract with a 3-month minimum, add-ons are $2,000 a month, and everything produced is yours if you leave.

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

MADX Digital

  • Published prices: Yes, three tiers plus Enterprise
  • Contract term: 12 months, or rolling with a 3-month minimum
  • Exit notice: One billing cycle on add-ons; term otherwise
  • 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 freedom to leave on 30 days' notice and a package sized to your stage with paid and email inside it. MADX is the better pick if you want the lowest published entry price on this page, $4,500 with placements included, and a year's budget is already approved.

Rock the Rankings is the better pick if you want both: the number on the page and no minimum term. The tradeoff is that we start focused and scale as the forecast proves out, and our entry tier does not include placements.

"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

All three model before the contract. One commits to rankings, one commits to the work, one commits to a demo number.

SimpleTiger puts a dollar value behind each ranking placement, publishes an SEO ROI calculator and maintains a 90-day ranking promise; a committed pipeline number is not published.

MADX Digital's free Benchmark comes with a costed plan to close the gap, every plan reports estimated pipeline impact modelled from your conversion rates and ACV, its stated principle is "realistic projections only", and it re-benchmarks every 90 days; it says plainly that it does not promise rankings or AI recommendations and commits to delivering the work.

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 variable. The conservative scenario is the commitment, reviewed at day 90 and quarterly after.

SimpleTiger

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

MADX Digital

  • Pre-contract projection: Yes, estimated pipeline impact in the Benchmark
  • Scenarios: Not public
  • Commitment: The work, not the result
  • Re-forecast cadence: Every 90 days

Rock the Rankings

  • Pre-contract projection: 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 a ranking commitment inside 90 days is the one you want in writing. MADX is the better pick if you want the pipeline modelled from your own conversion rates before any call, free, with a 90-day re-benchmark cadence that matches ours, and you are comfortable that the commitment is to the work.

Rock the Rankings is the better pick if the board wants demos, not positions, and someone held to the conservative case rather than to delivery. That case 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

All three baseline before work. The differences are the engines and what the baseline is held to.

SimpleTiger opens with a GEO discovery and audit and a free AI search visibility audit, tracks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Grok and Google AI Overviews, and a Gainsight quote credits it with a dedicated prompts framework; its Invoca case reports $3M in revenue from AI and organic search in under ten months.

MADX Digital's free Benchmark measures you across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and AI Overviews, its four-part GEO method goes into knowledge-graph work, it reports share of voice monthly, and it re-benchmarks every 90 days; the AI models tracked increase by tier.

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 audit; GEO discovery
  • Off-site surfaces worked: Link building, PR, press
  • Day-90 review: Not public

MADX Digital

  • Engines covered: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, AI Overviews; more by tier
  • Baseline before work: Free Benchmark with costed plan
  • Off-site surfaces worked: 10 to 20 placements and a press release a month
  • Day-90 review: Re-benchmark every 90 days

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 engine breadth matters, six including Claude and Grok. MADX is the better pick if you want a free benchmark that arrives with a costed plan and a GEO method that goes further into knowledge-graph work than most agencies publish, with the citation volume to match.

Rock the Rankings is the better pick if you want the baseline tied to a forecast and the programme sequenced from your own pages outward with citations at DR 50+. 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 reads the CRM live. MADX leaves revenue attribution with your team. We reconcile each contact against the buyer's own answer.

SimpleTiger runs a live pipeline dashboard connected to your CRM with multi-touch attribution and CAC by channel, and builds pipeline intelligence across organic, AI and paid into its higher packages.

MADX Digital reports leading indicators (rankings, crawl health, links, AI prompt visibility) and lagging ones (organic traffic, organic-attributed leads) monthly, lists a real-time dashboard and conversion attribution on Growth and Scale and revenue attribution reporting on Scale, and states that full revenue attribution stays with your team. How either reconciles AI-sourced demos that arrive without a referrer 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.

SimpleTiger

  • Dashboard: Live, CRM-connected
  • Attribution model: Multi-touch; CAC by channel
  • Self-reported source used: Not public
  • Revenue reported: ROI and revenue in cases

MADX Digital

  • Dashboard: Real-time on Growth and Scale
  • Attribution model: Conversion attribution by tier; revenue attribution stays with your team
  • Self-reported source used: Not public
  • Revenue reported: Organic-attributed leads monthly

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 live view, because it runs all three. MADX is the better pick if your RevOps team owns revenue attribution and what you want from the agency is clean leading and lagging indicators on a dashboard you can open any day.

Rock the Rankings is the better pick if nobody on your side is reconciling AI-sourced demos filed as Direct and you want each one tiered against the buyer's own answer under a stated rule. The reconciliation is monthly, done by a person, without a live dashboard.

05 · Channel breadth and output volume

What else each agency can run for you, and at what volume

SimpleTiger runs more channels. MADX ships more units. We run one channel and scale it to the forecast.

SimpleTiger runs paid search and paid social with flat-rate management, email marketing, digital PR, and Webflow web design including a design subscription, and serves B2B, B2C and B2B2C SaaS and AI companies.

MADX Digital's Growth plan ships 10 articles, 10 placements, a press release and weekly site fixes every month, with 20 of each on Scale, and sells pieces separately: a $4,500 one-off Growth Plan, links à la carte from $175, and $2,000 add-ons.

Rock the Rankings runs SEO, AI search, content, links and technical for B2B SaaS and tech only, starting at 5 pages and 5 to 8 placements a month and scaling to 20, 30 or more pages when the forecast supports it.

SimpleTiger

  • Paid search and social: Named services
  • Email marketing: Named service
  • Web design: Named service, Webflow partner
  • À la carte options: Design subscription; packages customised

MADX Digital

  • Paid search and social: Not offered
  • Email marketing: Not offered
  • Web design: Not offered
  • À la carte options: One-off plan; links from $175; $2,000 add-ons

Rock the Rankings

  • Paid search and social: Not offered
  • Email marketing: Not offered
  • Web design: Not offered
  • À la carte options: Tiers only; volume scales with the forecast

The honest comparison: SimpleTiger is the better pick if you want the whole demand engine, search, paid, lifecycle and the website, from one SaaS-only agency. MADX is the better pick if your team knows what to publish and needs an engine shipping ten or twenty units a month, or wants to buy links and plans by the piece.

Rock the Rankings is the better pick if organic and AI search are the channel you are buying and you would rather volume followed a forecast than a tier. 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 an account manager. MADX names a GEO Specialist or Manager by tier. 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, with strategic engagement deepening by tier to an embedded weekly partnership at Dominate.

MADX Digital lists a team of fifteen on its about page, led by founders Perry Steward and Toni Koraza, and names your team per tier: a GEO Specialist on Authority, a GEO Manager plus Specialist on Growth, a Manager plus dedicated Specialist with weekly calls on Scale, with a shared Slack channel and a monthly review call on every plan; founder involvement in delivery 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

MADX Digital

  • Account manager layer: GEO Manager on Growth and Scale
  • Founder on delivery: Not public; founders and 15 staff named
  • Seniority stated: Specialist or Manager by tier; senior practitioners
  • Communication: Shared Slack; weekly updates; monthly review call

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 an account manager, a portal and round-the-clock Slack as standard. MADX is the better pick if you want to see the whole team's names and faces before you call, with the role on your account stated by tier.

Rock the Rankings is the better pick if a client account manager or a tiered GEO Manager is the layer you want removed and the founder is who you want on the call at month nine. Output scales to the forecast, not to a package or a 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 each competitor wins

When SimpleTiger or MADX is the better fit.

When is SimpleTiger the better fit?

SimpleTiger is the better fit when you want one SaaS-only agency across search, paid, lifecycle and the website. Its Pipeline packages run SEO, GEO, paid search and social, email and Webflow design as one system on a live CRM-connected dashboard with multi-touch attribution and CAC by channel, with a client account manager, 24/7 Slack and a portal on every package, month to month on 30 days' notice. It tracks six AI engines including Claude and Grok, puts a dollar value on every ranking, publishes an ROI calculator and backs a 90-day ranking promise. Its proof is specific: Invoca's 41:1 ROI and $3M in under ten months, JotForm ranking first in two months with press on Forbes and Inc., Gelato's 75,000 new ranking keywords. If you want the whole demand engine under one roof, this is it.

If you need a pipeline number in writing before the first invoice, and only the organic half of the budget, that is the case we are built for.

When is MADX the better fit?

MADX Digital is the better fit when you have budget approved for a year and need volume shipped against it from day one. Its prices are on the page, its free Benchmark measures you across four AI engines and arrives with a costed plan, and its Growth plan ships 10 articles, 10 placements, a press release and weekly site fixes every month, with a dashboard you can open any day. It sells pieces separately too: a $4,500 one-off plan, links à la carte from $175, $2,000 add-ons. Its GEO method goes further into knowledge-graph work than most agencies publish, it re-benchmarks every 90 days, its fifteen-person London team is named on its about page, and its entry tier at $4,500 sits below ours and includes placements. If your team knows what to publish and needs an engine, MADX is built for that.

If you want the forecast turned into a committed number on a monthly plan with no minimum, that is the case we are built for.

FAQs

SimpleTiger vs. MADX vs. Rock the Rankings: common questions.

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

How does pricing compare across SimpleTiger, MADX and Rock the Rankings?

+

Two of the three publish prices. MADX lists Authority $4,500, Growth $8,500 and Scale $13,500 a month on a 12-month term, or a rolling contract with a 3-month minimum, with $2,000 add-ons and links from $175. Rock the Rankings publishes Consulting $5,000, Done-For-You $8,500 and Authority $15,000 a month, no onboarding fee, no minimum term, 30 days' notice. SimpleTiger publishes nine package names with no figures and sizes each at about 5 percent of revenue or funding, month to month with 30 days' notice. MADX has the lowest entry price; Rock the Rankings has the shortest term with a price attached.

What happens if it is not working after 90 days with each agency?

+

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. At SimpleTiger you can leave with 30 days' notice and it maintains a 90-day ranking promise. At MADX, day 90 is the first re-benchmark; on a rolling contract the 3-month minimum has just ended, on a 12-month term you have nine months left, and everything produced is yours either way.

Which of the three gives you a pipeline forecast before you sign?

+

All three model before the contract and commit to different things. MADX's free Benchmark includes estimated pipeline impact modelled from your conversion rates and ACV, with a costed plan; its commitment is to the work. SimpleTiger values each ranking in dollars and publishes an ROI calculator, with a ranking promise as its commitment. Rock the Rankings builds three scenarios from your GA4 and CRM data and commits to the conservative one. A free model, a ranking commitment, or a committed demo number.

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

+

All three baseline before work. SimpleTiger tracks six engines including Claude and Grok and opens with a free audit. MADX benchmarks four engines free with a costed plan, works knowledge-graph signals, ships 10 to 20 placements a month and re-benchmarks every 90 days. Rock the Rankings baselines five engines before any page ships, builds from your own pages outward with DR 50+ citations, and measures the result against the forecast at day 90. Engine coverage, citation volume, or a baselined programme held to a number.

Who actually works on the account at SimpleTiger, MADX and Rock the Rankings?

+

SimpleTiger assigns a client account manager on every package with 24/7 Slack and a project portal. MADX names a GEO Specialist on Authority and a GEO Manager plus Specialist above, from a fifteen-person team listed on its about page, with shared Slack and a monthly review call. At Rock the Rankings, Founder, Justin Berg runs strategy on every engagement with a senior strategist, no account managers, and same-day Slack. An account manager, a tiered GEO Manager, or the founder.

Which should a Series A to Series C B2B SaaS company shortlist?

+

It depends on the constraint. If you want organic, paid and lifecycle from one team with month-to-month terms, SimpleTiger. If you want published prices, the lowest entry tier, and ten to twenty units shipped a month against a year's budget, MADX. If you need a pipeline number before the spend is approved, published tiers on a monthly plan with no minimum, and the founder on the account, Rock the Rankings. Two of the three publish prices; two of the three run without a long-term commitment; one does both.
