Current site: DR 38, ~15k clicks/month, avg position ~10. B2B SaaS / agency space and growing pretty aggressively.

I want to launch a directory with at least a few thousand pages using unique first-party client data that we have explicit consent to publish.

My concern is Google interpreting it as scaled content abuse and hurting the rest of the domain.

If the directory is genuinely useful and each page is based on real unique data, how would you structure the rollout?

Would you:
launch everything at once or in batches?

put it on the main domain, subdomain, or separate domain?

noindex weaker pages initially?

require a minimum amount of unique content/data per page?

worry about crawl/index bloat before worrying about the actual spam policy?

Would especially appreciate input from anyone who has launched a large directory after the recent Google spam / scaled-content updates.

Ps. If that is relevant the data we have is related to sales, marketing so im 99% sure nobody else has anything like that. It would also help vendors looking for an agency decide the best choice for their company

Looking for people who helped SMB’s get from bottom of first page to top 3 in 90 days. I have a ton of leads and warm domains only bit im missing is service delivery

I did it for fun, I got my 2 clients bunch of referral partnerships with local businesses in their area that compliment their services.

He(#1) is getting id say quite a few thousand worth or customers a month.

The other one slightly less(yet) Now is this related to ads or seo? No. Does it make money? Yes

But how can I price something that can either become a big win or a big nothing.

I can replicate the same thing over and over Ive already got the automation built so effort isnt in the equation.

Or should this be something of a lead magnet for new client acquisition

Should I aim for the moon and go to semi relevant 90+ DR websites or am i better off going to DR 20-50 hyper relevant to ask for reviews and placements of our saas?

Which one is more likely to get us visibility in AIO and AI(thats where customers are finding us)

Hi, looking for recommendations on linkedin outbound tools which will not get my account in trouble.

I have a list of 60k leads and Id like to run it simultaneously with an email campaign followed by linkedin connection+ dm followed by a call

Id like to hear opinions from people who do it day to day at scale and havent had issues

Hi for more context We’ve already tried fiver upwork and fb.

The quality of media buyers there is not the best, half of them claims they get great results showing cpl for service businesses but fail to mention they yielded close to no sales.

Looking for recommendations where to find pre vetted media buyers

Hi before i get myself or my clients in trouble I wanted to ask here.

So long story short Ive connected higgsfield to instagram dms with the sole purpose of having a shiny thing on client demo calls.

I started with my car detailing ppf installing clients where the lead sends us a picture of his car with scratches and anything problematic, the automation then runs thru higgsfield and sends him before after visualisation.

But I also have bunch of fitness coaching clients and thats where I worry a bit because its pictures of people? (So far I was demoing it on myself)

Prospects love the idea and want to do it, it does boost the close rate.

If lets say we ask those people for permission is this complaint at scale or because it involves humans its not OR would blurring their faces before and after help the case?

How does one get the access to this level of support.

We currently have 430 users for our b2b saas (primarily agencies) Thats IG’s FB’s whatsapp combined the amount of accounts is closer to ~2000

Nobody reached out to us, nothing.

What are the criteria?

I would appreciate any input from people who are already at that level

Im asking this from a company perspective. What would you as an affiliate want to have other than the basic company media pack.

We are going to do some manual outreach and scouting and want to give a good first impression

Whats your go to event? Free, paid doesnt matter.

Do you go to conferences that are more general or niche specific

Id love to hear raw opinions from people who go to such events since linkedin is force-feeding it to me against my will and some of them look nice

Hi guys,

I've been doing SEO mostly off instinct since October for our B2B SaaS and I'd love a reality check from people who have scaled SEO for software companies.

We started at basically 0 organic traffic in October and are now at roughly:

• 125 clicks/month
• 6.5k impressions/month
• 2% CTR
• Average position ~16

(Search Console screenshot in comments)

Some context:

• B2B SaaS CRM for agencies
• DR 19
• Around 40 free tools
• Articles, comparison pages, feature pages, and tools
• Tools seem to be driving the majority of growth
• Around 250-300 leads/month from organic
• Around 30 trials/month
• 58% trial-to-paid conversion rate

Our strategy from day one has been pretty simple:

Instead of trying to rank for huge terms like "CRM" or "CRM for agencies", we started by targeting very specific niches such as "best CRM for Instagram agencies."

The idea was to win tiny niches first, build authority, and then slowly expand into broader and broader categories over time.

Right now it feels like that approach is working. We can rank for highly specific commercial-intent keywords despite only having DR 19, but when I look at broader keywords the SERPs are dominated by HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, etc.

My current process is:

• Use DataForSEO and Semrush to find competitors
• See what content is driving traffic
• Create better versions or adjacent content
• Build tools around problems people search for
• Track what gains traction and kill what doesn't

One thing I'm increasingly worried about is that we're attracting too much TOFU traffic and not enough MOFU/BOFU traffic.

A lot of our growth has come from free tools, which is great for traffic and lead generation, but I'm not sure if we're accidentally optimizing for visitors rather than buyers.

We currently don't have sophisticated email nurturing in place for these users yet, so many people use a tool, give us their details, and that's pretty much where the journey ends.

The tools generate a lot of leads and some convert surprisingly well, but I'm not sure whether that's proof the strategy is working or whether we're leaving a lot of money on the table by not focusing more aggressively on commercial-intent keywords.

What I'm trying to figure out is whether the next step should be:

1. Continue expanding from niche → broader keywords
2. Invest heavily in backlinks and listings
3. Double down on free tools
4. Focus more on comparison pages, alternatives pages, integrations, use cases, and other high-intent content
5. Something else entirely

For those of you who've grown SaaS SEO:

• Is the niche → broader keyword progression the right play?
• At what point do you start targeting larger categories?
• Would you focus on backlinks or more content at this stage?
• Are free tools still one of the best growth levers in 2026?
• How do you balance TOFU traffic with MOFU/BOFU traffic?
• If you were DR 19 today, what would your next 12 months look like?

I can't really benchmark against competitors because many of them are doing hundreds of millions in ARR and have spent a decade building authority.

I'm trying to figure out whether I should stay the course or if I'm missing something obvious.

If you have lasted till here I would love your opinion, thanks.

What can we do? It seems like their ai is going crazy for the last few weeks suspending accounts and business assets for absolutely nothing claiming its been reviewed by a human when it clearly havent

Do we really need a connection to some meta staff to prevent this!

Hi guys I'm Matt, bootstrapped Inflowave - crm for marketing agencies and I'm starting to run into a wall as a solo founder with devs.

We're getting decent monthly users all from organic and referrals. Product is definitely validated with huge potential.

Right now the biggest bottlenecks would be

Money
I'm the dev I'm the marketer I know how to run ads but the issue for SaaS that to run ads you will absolutely go negative and wait months to recoup the LTV. As a bootstrap this is no go.

Network

Currently we run into issues with meta and others which could've been simply resolved if we had access to the right people. With our model and the right connections we could take this company extremely far.

Now that you have relevant context...

We're based in Europe.

Let's just say we get accepted.

Do we get help to move there, help with visas for me (and my team? Or they stay remote?)
Is YC superior to other european alternativs?
Is it really an open door for all the goodies and hyper growth?

I would love to hear from people who 'been there done that'

I want to connect with people from the industry I see some events cost few grand. Are those worth it? Have you gone to one? Whats your experience

I know this isnt a job board and I'm not trying to make it one .

We have two businesses one is marketing Boring Marketing the other one is a crm Inflowave.

Now while I do not mind or care if the callers do some stupid stuff in b2b in marketing I do care about the saas part and I don't want to hand it off to just anyone. What places would you say are best to find people who are semi technical, charismatic and what should be their compensation.

For marketing we well 2-5k packages so we simply give them a larger cut upfront it's also fairly easy to sell the idea of marketing and more customers
For SaaS it get's a bit tricky because its $149-500 for the most part and we haven't tapped into selling yearly packages (yet)

I tried upwork and lets just say no. Its like Circus except nobody laughed.
I tried skool and it was fine for marketing but where do I go for saas. Linkedin? Indeed?

Has anyone tried those platforms

Who’s be liable if a client imports their “opted in” lists and you run their email campaigns. Is it them that’d be fines or us?

Any hidden gems out there?
