The Claude SEO Agency
Get cited when your buyer asks Claude.
Claude is careful about what it will assert. That makes it harder to game and more valuable to win: the work is earning the kind of source it is willing to stand behind.

Why they come to us
Why B2B marketing leaders take the call:
Nobody books this call because Claude is interesting. They book it because one of these three is happening right now.
"It names our competitors and hedges about us."
You appear as a maybe while someone else appears as the recommendation, because the material supporting them is more specific and better corroborated than yours.
"Our own pages never get cited."
It answers the question and sources three other sites, none of them yours, because your pages assert less than the pages it chose.
"We cannot see any of it."
No dashboard tells you what an assistant said about you last week, so the category narrative moves without anyone watching.
Where we actually work
Everything you need to be a source it will cite.

The process · The 90-Day AI Search Program
The process, step by step.
Every week ends with artifacts you can inspect: prompt maps, pages, citations, demos. If it doesn't move pipeline, it doesn't ship.
Discover the money prompts and keywords
Technical audit, CRM and GA4 wiring, then the kill test on every keyword and prompt: after the AI answers, does the buyer still need a vendor? We only chase the ones that end in pipeline.
The kill test · Worth winning?
Build the answer pages
Hand-researched briefs become solution-aware articles and landing pages, written to convert demos, not to fill a content calendar.

Results · From the monthly reports
Real case studies, not screenshots.
AI search became a demand channel in one quarter
Organic sessions, AI referrals, category presence and attributed demand all moved together one quarter after launch.
Four months in, running ahead of forecasted demos
Nearly half the demo pipeline was filed as Direct. The Two-Witness Rule recovered it, and the page program kept feeding it.
AI search and organic became the growth engine
A page set that did not exist twelve months ago now carries the growth and is the most-cited name in the category’s AI answers.
In their words
What our clients say.
Not curated snippets from a review widget. Named people, at named companies, about work you can read above.
"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."
"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"
"The workflow was seamless between our teams. Overall, their process was very close to ours, so it was a great fit from the get-go. Most importantly, we learned a ton from their approach."
"Justin and his team helped us strengthen our SEO strategy, enabling us to adopt a more in-depth and strategic approach, and to better anticipate and organize our content operations."
"The partnership with Rock The Rankings contributed to clear improvements in organic performance across Canada and Australia, particularly for MoonPay's high-value transactional keywords and pages."
Rock The Rankings delivered great work for us. We came in with a massive index bloat issue, and Justin & team quickly figured out what needed to be done and helped us implement his suggestions on the site.
Forecast first · Held to it
Three scenarios, before we start.
Every engagement opens with a 12-month forecast built on your funnel data, We set pipeline goals against it, then grade the program against those numbers every quarter.
One lever separates the three: the share of search volume your pages capture. Everything else is your actuals, held flat: visit-to-demo rate, close rate, and ACV. If the model can't clear a 4× return, we tell you before you spend a dollar.
12-month forecast · Optimistic · 30% capture
Reference case: forecast said 10 demos by day 90. The program booked 59.
The other side of the model
Doing nothing has a price too.
Every month you wait, the answers get written without you. Pick your average contract value and see what one quarter of that costs, at the realistic scenario: 20% capture, 22% close.
Pipeline that goes to someone else
Close rate held at 22%, capture at the realistic 20% scenario, applied to the ACV you picked. On the call we rebuild all three on your actuals, and if the model doesn't clear a 4× return we tell you that instead of selling you.
This is not a delay. It is a transfer. Three things compound against you in the exact window you spend deciding.
The 90 days start at kickoff, not at the decision. A quarter of waiting doesn't pause the results. It moves them a quarter later, permanently, and hands the ones in between to whoever didn't wait.
The full scope
Everything it takes to become a source it will cite.
Every item below is in scope, run by us, reported weekly. See something missing? Bring it to the plan and it goes in.
Pricing · Every number public
What it costs, before you ask.

Fit · Before you fill anything in
Who this works for, and who it doesn't.
We say no often, and early. Reading this saves us both a call.
Great fit
- B2B SaaS, Series A to Series D$2-3M to $50M+ ARR, subscription or usage-based, sales-led or self-serve plus sales-assist.
- A category with a real competitor setVertical or category-defining: healthtech, fintech infrastructure, compliance, HR tech, legal tech, specialty lending.
- Marketing leadership in placeA CMO, VP Marketing, or Head of Growth who owns the number, usually with one under-resourced content or SEO person.
- Organic is underperforming the investmentNon-branded traffic is thin for your stage, competitors hold the category terms, and the AI answers don't name you.
- You can ship changesModern CMS and a willingness to make technical and on-page edits.
- Pipeline is the measureBudget $5,000+ for strategy, $7,500-$15,000+ for the full engine, and demos are how we're both graded.
Also a fit: bootstrapped SaaS at $2M-$10M with founder-led marketing, or a growth-stage team rebuilding a stalled program.
Not a fit
- Pre-seed or pre-PMFNo audience, no category clarity, and no runway for a compounding channel.
- B2C apps, DTC ecommerce, or local servicesDifferent playbook, different channels. Not our specialty and not our pricing model.
- Enterprise consultingThose cycles are relationship-driven, not search-driven.
- You want content volume without strategyWrong expectation. We decline these even when the budget is there.
- You can't make on-page or technical changesThe methodology doesn't work without them.
- Traffic is the KPIWe align on pipeline, or we don't work together.
- Not willing to let us driveIf every decision needs a committee and a month, the program stalls. You approve the strategy, we run it.
- Under $5K a monthNot enough investment to make the channel compound. You'd be paying for activity, not an outcome.
If that's you, we'll say so on the first call and point you somewhere better. No sequence, no follow-up.
Straight answers
Asked on every call.
If yours isn't here, bring it to the call. Same unpolished answer either way.
In practice it weights source quality more heavily and hedges more readily when the evidence is thin. That rewards specific, checkable claims and well-corroborated third-party coverage, and it punishes vague marketing copy harder than other engines do.
It can retrieve and cite live sources, and it also answers from what it already learned. Both paths matter, which is why the program covers your own pages and the sources that talk about you.
Content that makes a claim precise enough to be checked and supported well enough to be trusted. Comparison and alternatives pages with real specifics, original data, and clear statements of who a product is and is not for.
A fixed set of your buying prompts, re-run on a schedule, recording whether you were named, in what position, and which sources the answer used. Same prompt set every time so the numbers are comparable.
All of them, in one program. The underlying work overlaps heavily and the differences are in emphasis rather than in kind. Buying an engine-specific retainer means paying several times for one system.
Before you close the tab
The three reasons people don't book.
Every one of these gets said on a call. Here are the answers we give, in writing, before you spend 27 minutes on it.
Objection 01
"Our last agency failed. Why would this be different?"
Fair. Most agencies sell activity, so there's nothing to fail against. We've run this with 300+ B2B SaaS companies and we report on pipeline and revenue, not traffic and rankings.
The difference is the forecast. We set it before kickoff on your funnel data, then grade ourselves against it in writing every month. If the model can't clear a 4× return, we tell you before you spend a dollar.
Objection 02
"Our in-house team can do this."
They can, at five roles and two quarters of hiring before the first page ships. That's roughly $290K a year before tools, data, and link budget, and one resignation stalls the whole program.
The better version: we run the engine, your team owns the product story. We hand the whole system over at the end if you want it.
Objection 03
"You haven't worked in our category."
We only work with B2B SaaS, and we've run this playbook across dozens of them: healthcare automation, payments, event software, practice management, crypto infrastructure. The category changes the prompts and the proof bar. It doesn't change the machine.
On the intro call we run your actual buying prompts live, so you see what the engines say about your category before you decide anything.
