Comparison methodology
Scored on what SimpleTiger and WebFX publish on their own sites, checked 14 November 2026. Nothing from sales calls or third parties.
We read SimpleTiger's pricing, home, GEO and 90-day ranking pages, and WebFX's AI SEO pricing page, including its plan table, inclusions and FAQ, its SEO management and AI search optimisation pages and its services navigation, 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.
Researched, written and reviewed by
What you pay, what you sign, and how you leave
Two of the three publish prices. One of those two asks for six months.
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.
WebFX publishes eight AI SEO plans on a six-month commitment: Bronze $3,000, Silver $5,250, Gold $7,500, Diamond $12,000, Platinum $23,250, Enterprise $34,500, Enterprise+ $68,250 and Global Enterprise+ on custom pricing, priced by how many prompts it monitors, how many unique answers it tracks and how many optimisation assets it delivers a month, with its OmniSEO platform and RevenueCloudFX included at no extra cost; its notice period is 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.
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
WebFX
- Published prices: Yes, eight plans from $3,000 to $68,250
- Contract term: Six-month commitment
- Exit notice: Not public
- Onboarding fee: None stated; platform included
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 that grows with your revenue. WebFX is the better pick if you want the widest published ladder on this page, from $3,000 to $68,250 with the platform inside the price, and a six-month term is acceptable.
Rock the Rankings is the better pick if you want a price on the page without a six-month commitment attached. The tradeoff is that we start focused and scale as the forecast proves out, and we do not include a platform in the price.
"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."
Who commits to the number before you sign
One commits to rankings, one sells forecasting as a service, 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.
WebFX lists Channel Attribution and Forecasting among its digital intelligence services and includes monthly strategy reviews and performance scoring in every AI SEO plan; whether a forecast is delivered before signing, and whether any outcome is committed to, 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 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
WebFX
- Pre-contract projection: Not public; forecasting sold as a service
- Scenarios: Not public
- Commitment: Not public
- Re-forecast cadence: Monthly strategy reviews and scoring
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. WebFX is the better pick if you want forecasting bought as a formal service alongside attribution, scored monthly on a platform, from a firm that has done it across 200 industries.
Rock the Rankings is the better pick if the board wants demos, not positions, and a number someone will be held to before any invoice at no extra charge. The conservative case leans on benchmarks only when CRM data is withheld.
How each agency gets you named when buyers ask ChatGPT for your category
All three baseline before work. WebFX does it across the most engines, on its own platform, at the largest scale.
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.
WebFX includes in every plan a baseline AI visibility audit across 10 AI answer engines, from 500 prompt-by-engine checks on Bronze to 20,000 on Enterprise+, ongoing prompt monitoring, competitor analysis across five competitors, brand perception analysis and historical tracking on its OmniSEO platform, with a dedicated OmniSEO consultant; its IGX Solutions case reports a 53 percent increase in brand appearances in AI chatbot queries.
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
WebFX
- Engines covered: 10 AI answer engines
- Baseline before work: Audit in every plan, 50 to 2,000 prompts
- Off-site surfaces worked: Placements in sources AI Overviews cite
- Day-90 review: Monthly performance scoring
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 six engines from a free audit inside a SaaS-only programme that also runs paid. WebFX is the better pick if tracking scale is the point: 10 engines, hundreds or thousands of prompts, five competitors, brand perception and history on a platform with unlimited seats, with the software inside the fee.
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, and a mapped prompt set matters more than a monitored one. We track on third-party tools and start focused, scaling 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"
How each agency proves the demos came from search when the CRM says Direct
SimpleTiger reads the CRM live. WebFX bundles its own revenue platform. 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.
WebFX includes RevenueCloudFX, its ROI tracking platform, in every plan, with phone, lead and revenue tracking, CRM integrations and a revenue and ROI dashboard by month or channel, and sells channel attribution and call tracking as services; its analysis of 2.3 billion sessions found visitors from generative AI platforms converting about 1.2 times higher than organic search visitors. 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
WebFX
- Dashboard: RevenueCloudFX, included
- Attribution model: Channel attribution service; method Not public
- Self-reported source used: Not public
- Revenue reported: Revenue and ROI by channel
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 by a SaaS-only team. WebFX is the better pick if you want the attribution platform itself bundled into the fee, with call tracking and CRM integrations installed by the agency and a dataset of billions of sessions behind its benchmarks.
Rock the Rankings is the better pick if the stack is sound and the problem is AI-sourced demos filed as Direct, which we reconcile contact by contact against the buyer's own answer. We read your stack rather than install one.
What else each agency can run for you
WebFX runs nearly everything. SimpleTiger runs the SaaS demand engine. We run one channel.
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.
WebFX's navigation lists PPC, social advertising, programmatic, connected TV, content marketing, social management, email, ABM, CRO, landing pages, RevOps, marketing automation, Amazon and Walmart marketplace management, web design and development, AI consulting and agent development, and more, across 200-plus industries, with a 750-person team.
Rock the Rankings runs SEO, AI search, content, links and technical for B2B SaaS and tech only.
SimpleTiger
- Paid search and social: Named services
- Email marketing: Named service
- Web design: Named service, Webflow partner
- RevOps, ABM, development: Not named
WebFX
- Paid search and social: Named services incl. programmatic and CTV
- Email marketing: Named service
- Web design: Design, redesign and development
- RevOps, ABM, development: Named services
Rock the Rankings
- Paid search and social: Not offered
- Email marketing: Not offered
- Web design: Not offered
- RevOps, ABM, development: Not offered
The honest comparison: SimpleTiger is the better pick if you want search, paid, lifecycle and the website from one SaaS-only agency. WebFX is the better pick if you want every channel from one vendor with its own platform underneath, and you operate outside B2B SaaS or at a scale where a 750-person team is the point.
Rock the Rankings is the better pick if organic and AI search are the channel you are buying and the rest is already covered. 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."
Who you will actually talk to after the sales call
Both competitors publish an account manager. We publish 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.
WebFX's SEO management plans include a dedicated account manager plus a full-service SEO team, and its AI SEO plans include a dedicated OmniSEO consultant with monthly strategy reviews, drawn from a staff of 750-plus with a 91 percent client retention rate; 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
WebFX
- Account manager layer: Dedicated account manager plus OmniSEO consultant
- Founder on delivery: Not public
- Seniority stated: Award-winning strategists; 750+ staff
- Communication: Monthly strategy reviews
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 from a SaaS-only team. WebFX is the better pick if you want an account manager and a platform consultant backed by a 750-person bench, with a published retention rate as the proof of continuity.
Rock the Rankings is the better pick if an account 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 bench.
"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 WebFX 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 WebFX the better fit?
WebFX is the better fit when scale and software are the point. Its AI SEO plans are published from $3,000 to $68,250 a month, every one includes a baseline audit across 10 AI answer engines, prompt monitoring from 50 to 2,000 prompts, five-competitor analysis, brand perception tracking, the OmniSEO platform with unlimited seats, a dedicated consultant, monthly reviews and RevenueCloudFX ROI tracking, with 3 to 90 optimisation assets a month by tier. Behind it sit 750-plus staff, 30 years, 200-plus industries, a 91 percent retention rate, research across billions of sessions and 2.3 million keywords, and every other channel from PPC and programmatic to ABM, RevOps, web development and AI consulting. Its IGX Solutions case reports a 53 percent increase in AI chatbot brand appearances. For a company that wants AI visibility tracked at volume on a platform it does not have to buy separately, with any channel available from the same vendor, this is what WebFX is built for.
If you sell B2B SaaS and want the number before the invoice on a monthly plan with the founder on the account, that is the case we are built for.

FAQs
SimpleTiger vs. WebFX 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, WebFX and Rock the Rankings?
+Two of the three publish prices. WebFX lists eight AI SEO plans from Bronze at $3,000 to Enterprise+ at $68,250 a month, each on a six-month commitment with its OmniSEO platform and RevenueCloudFX included. 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. The widest ladder, the only price without a commitment, or the shortest term without a price.
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 WebFX, day 90 is halfway through the six-month commitment; monthly strategy reviews and performance scoring run throughout, and its notice terms are not published.
Which of the three gives you a pipeline forecast before you sign?
+Rock the Rankings does: three scenarios from your GA4 and CRM data before any agreement, with the conservative case as the commitment. SimpleTiger values each ranking in dollars and publishes an ROI calculator, with a ranking promise as its commitment. WebFX sells channel attribution and forecasting as a service; whether a forecast comes before signing is not published. A ranking commitment, forecasting as a service, or a committed demo number at no charge.
Which agency is strongest for AI search visibility in ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity?
+All three baseline before work. WebFX covers the most engines, 10, at the largest scale, from 50 to 2,000 prompts on its own OmniSEO platform with five-competitor analysis and brand perception tracking. SimpleTiger tracks six engines including Claude and Grok from a free audit. 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. Tracking scale, SaaS-only breadth, or a baselined programme held to a number.
Who actually works on the account at SimpleTiger, WebFX and Rock the Rankings?
+SimpleTiger assigns a client account manager on every package with 24/7 Slack and a project portal. WebFX assigns a dedicated account manager plus a full-service SEO team on its SEO management plans and a dedicated OmniSEO consultant on its AI SEO plans, from a staff of 750-plus. At Rock the Rankings, Founder, Justin Berg runs strategy on every engagement with a senior strategist, no account managers, and same-day Slack. Two publish an account manager; one publishes 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 SaaS-only team with month-to-month terms, SimpleTiger. If you want AI visibility tracked at scale on a platform included in the fee, with every channel available and a six-month term acceptable, WebFX. If you need a pipeline number before the spend is approved, a price on the page without a commitment, and the founder on the account, Rock the Rankings. Two publish prices; two run without a long commitment; one does both.
