An SEO agency for software companies that build for clients

Your buyers are judging risk, not comparing features. They are handing a budget and a deadline to a team they have never met, so they ask by stack, by industry and by situation. AI answers from Clutch reviews, roundups, GitHub and forum threads, not from your homepage. We make your description specific in the places AI reads.

  • Custom software firms
  • App development companies
  • Dev shops and product studios
  • Nearshore and offshore teams

SEO for software development companies, for Google and for AI answers

If the pages AI reads describe you as a general software agency, you are named for nothing in particular. One retainer fixes that on your site and off it.

For Google

SEO

  1. Technical fixes, so Google can crawl and trust your site
  2. A page for each stack, service and industry you want projects in
  3. Case studies that state the stack, the industry, the team size and the result
  4. Review and directory profiles that match what your site says
  5. A monthly report on the searches that bring enquiries

For AI answers

GEO and AEO

  1. The questions buyers ask by stack, industry and situation, each with its source
  2. Each question run several times in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews
  3. The reviews, roundups and threads AI reads when it answers
  4. Your company placed on those pages, with a description AI can repeat
  5. A weekly Share of Answer against the agencies you lose projects to

The same three processes, on Google and in AI answers

How we get a software development company recommended by ChatGPT

Three processes, in order. The same three work for Google rankings and for AI answers.

  1. Sourced Prompt Discovery

    We collect the questions your buyers ask from forums, review sites, developer communities and your sales calls. In week one you see how often you are named today.

    Week 1

  2. Citation Gap Analysis

    We list the pages AI reads for your stacks and industries, and compare the agencies named on them with you.

    Weeks 2 to 4

  3. Source Engineering

    We fix your site and get you onto the reviews, roundups and threads that decide the answer. Then we rerun the questions.

    Months 2 and 3

Your team's time is about two hours a month. Your developers can make the site fixes, or we can.

AI citation tracking

How we count how often AI names your company

Not one screenshot. A count, taken the same way every week, that you can repeat yourself.

  1. We find the exact questions your buyers ask

    From forums, review sites, community Q&A, your sales calls and your inbox. Long questions too, with the size, budget and constraints buyers really type.

  2. Every question carries its source

    Nothing goes on the list unless we can point to where someone asked it. We sort them into buying, comparison, problem and research questions, and show you the list first.

  3. We run each one many times

    Fresh session, no history, across every engine. Reported as a ratio: asked five times, a competitor named in five, you in none.

How does a dev shop show up in AI search results?

By being specific in more than one place. AI checks whether your site, your review profiles and the roundups tell the same story about your stack and your industries.

  • Everything for everyone gets named for nothing.

    A dev shop that says it builds anything gives AI nothing to match to a question.

  • The same description on independent pages.

    A team described the same way in four places, as a React Native team for healthcare for example, gets named when that question is asked.

  • One job, many names.

    GEO, LLM optimization and AI SEO for software agencies all mean getting the right description onto the pages that decide the answer.

Nearshore, offshore and UK software development companies

Buyers ask for teams by region. Where you are is part of the question, so it should be stated clearly, not hidden.

  • Nearshore teams.

    We make sure AI knows which time zones you cover and which countries your clients are in.

  • Offshore software development companies in India.

    We are based in Chennai and sell to the US, UK, Canada and Australia ourselves, so we know this position from the inside.

  • Agencies in the UK.

    A UK buyer's answer is built from different pages than a US buyer's, so the UK gets its own question list.

Lead generation for software development companies

  • What we do.

    Software development lead generation that comes from search. A buyer who finds you on Google or is given your name by ChatGPT arrives already interested, and we help you track those visits and calls.

  • What we do not do.

    We are not a full digital marketing agency for software companies. We do not run outbound, ads or social, and we do not promise a number of leads.

Questions

SEO for software companies: questions

How do I choose the best SEO agency for software development companies?

Pick one that understands how a development project is bought. A good SEO agency for software development companies will ask about your stacks, your industries and the projects you want more of, then show you the questions buyers ask and the pages that decide the answer. Traffic on its own is not the goal. Being named for the right project is.

We are on Clutch already. Isn't that enough?

It helps, but AI reads more than one source. It also checks whether your Clutch profile, your site and the roundups tell the same story about your stack and industries. We fix the gaps between them.

Do you work with app development companies and custom software firms?

Yes. Mobile app development companies, custom software development firms, product studios and dev shops are all a fit. Each one gets a question list built around its own stacks and the industries it wants work in.

Do you do content marketing for software development companies?

Yes, where it wins a question. We write stack and industry pages, case studies, and the pieces that get placed on other sites. We do not publish generic blog posts. If AI is not reading your blog for a question, we put that piece where it is being read.

We sell to US and UK clients from India. Does that matter?

Yes, in a good way if it is stated clearly. Buyers ask for nearshore or offshore teams by region, so we make sure AI knows where your team is and who it serves.

Do you work with software development agencies in the UK?

Yes. We work remotely on UK hours, and a UK buyer's answer is built from different pages than a US buyer's, so the UK gets its own question list.

We sell a software product, not development services. Is this the right page?

The method is the same, but the questions are different. Product buyers compare tools, not teams. Our SEO for SaaS page covers that.

How long before we see results?

You see your starting position in week one. The first fixes and listings go live in month one. Google rankings and AI answers usually take a few months to move, and how long depends on how many pages decide your answers and who owns them. We show you that at the start.
