SaaS blog writing company: Hiring checklist

Before hiring, check if your SaaS blog writing agency ticks all the boxes below.
SaaS specialization
After all, you are looking for a SaaS blog writing company, so you better check if your agency specializes in SaaS content marketing. Why is this important? A general B2B agency doesn’t have the understanding and experience of SaaS businesses like a SaaS-specific company.
If you have a problem with your kidney, you don’t go to a general practitioner but to a nephrologist who specializes in solving your specific problem. You should treat your SaaS business similarly – take it to a SaaS specialist instead of a B2B generalist.
A proven track record of success
Everyone can claim they’re the best at what they do and share advice, but what do they have to show for it? You need a company that walks the talks and can show results. Let’s see what you can look at to check the agency’s credibility.
Case studies
Most companies have case studies on their website, but you can also request them from the company since not all case studies will be public because of the confidential information. See what results the company brought in terms of leads, organic traffic and rankings.
Portfolio
Research their site for a portfolio of written work or ask for samples. When evaluating their written content, consider these questions:
- Is the content engaging and does it entice you to read further?
- Does the content provide value? Is the advice actionable or generic?
- Does the article answer the search intent? Is it straight to the point?
- Is it easy to skim, with headings, subtitles, lists, images etc.?
- Is the article well-researched and does it provide accurate information?
- Is the blog post well-structured?
Testimonials
Although less reliable, you should look at client testimonials and mentions to see what the clients highlight about working with the company.
Communication and values
It is crucial that your team can efficiently work with the chosen agency. The best way to determine this is to book a consultation call and see how you feel about their communication style. Questions to ask yourself during or after a call include:
- Do I feel heard and understood?
- Do I feel they genuinely care about helping me?
- Are they transparent and clear? Do they offer direct answers?
- Do they openly discuss their services, pricing and what they expect from me?
Through a consultation call, you’ll be able to determine whether their values align with yours and see if you feel they care about potential customers, listen to them and value transparency and open communication.
Also, to determine what your communication during the project will be like and how responsive or flexible they are, you can ask:
- Who will be my point of contact during the project?
- How often will they be available?
- Which platform will we use to communicate?
- How often will I receive reports and what is your reporting process?
SEO skills and strategy
First, why do SaaS businesses using content marketing need SEO and strategy in the first place?
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) helps your content reach a broader audience by optimizing for search engines and increasing your site’s visibility for the terms your buying personas are searching for. What good is excellent content if people can’t find it?
A strategy helps you focus on the content tailored to your target audience and bringing the highest ROI, with 45% of B2B marketers attributing strategy changes to their content marketing success. All your efforts will be in vain if you produce content without a well-thought-out strategy.
Producing a piece that ranks, brings traffic and, most importantly, valuable leads involves much more than writing – you have to understand the market, product and target audience, search for suitable keywords, optimize your SaaS blog for SEO, ensure all the technical aspects of your website are in order and build backlinks to your site.
That’s why we believe it’s best to find a SaaS content writing company with SEO experts and strategists working with the content team, allowing you to save time on onboarding both an SEO and content agency and educating them about your product.
Even if you already have an SEO expert or strategist and hire a full-service agency only for SaaS content writing, it is more likely they know how to align their SaaS content creation with the strategy because they already work with SEOs and content strategists. You want your blog writing agency to integrate perfectly with the team you have and understand your goals.
So, how do you check their SEO skills and strategy? Apart from checking their blog for guides and case studies for the process, here are the questions you can ask on a consultation call to help you make a decision:
- How do you search for keywords and determine which keywords to target?
- How do you measure SaaS content marketing results?
- How do you choose websites for SaaS link building?
- What is your internal linking strategy for SaaS blogs?
- How do you devise a SaaS content marketing strategy?
- What SaaS content marketing tools do you use?
Ensure the company has established procedures they can tailor to your process, does not give vague answers and is not promising fast results but realistic long-term and sustainable growth.
Company’s website
The last point from our checklist is to look at the company’s website. Seeing how the agency markets itself can provide valuable insights into its marketing skills and understanding of user behavior.
Here is what to consider:
- SaaS content marketing blog – Apart from the case studies and portfolio we mentioned, you can also check whether they have actionable blog content on their website to get an idea of their expertise in SaaS content marketing.
- User experience – The website should be user-friendly, mobile responsive and easy to navigate.
- Design – The site should be visually appealing and consistent with its branding.
Conclusion
Finding the right SaaS blog writing company can bring you more customers, but you must choose wisely. We suggest you pick a blog writing company that:
- Specializes in SaaS
- Has a proven track record of success (case studies, portfolio, testimonials)
- Communicates clearly with your team members and cares about your results
- Offers a complete content production service including SEO and strategy
- Markets itself in a way that resonates with you and shows expertise
Whether you need high-quality content only or a full service from strategy to execution, we are here to help. Book a call today to find out how!
