B2B SaaS SEO: In-House Team vs. Agency?

· Solo episode

Should SaaS companies build an in-house SEO/AI search team or hire an agency? Sam breaks down the real cost of each, the tradeoffs, and the orgs each model fits.

What we cover

  • The real cost of an in-house SEO team. $322K+/year before tools, link spend, ramp-up, and churn
  • Why dev capacity is almost always the bottleneck that stalls in-house teams
  • Agency cost comparison and faster time to value, with the tool stack already owned
  • Who in-house actually fits, and who is better off with an agency
  • Anchoring SEO to revenue metrics like signups, demos, and trials instead of traffic at all costs
