SEO consultants who ran growth in-house for 10+ years.
Surge45 is a search-first consultancy for SaaS. Search is where your buyers start, so it is where we start — and we run organic and paid as one job rather than two suppliers who never speak. We earn the organic ground across Google and the AI engines that increasingly answer for it, buy the intent organic cannot reach yet, measure both against the same pipeline, and hold all of it to revenue growth. Four pillars, one number: the one your CFO already reports.

Our Story
Surge45 was founded by marketers who spent 10+ years running growth in-house at SaaS companies, owning budgets, reporting to CEOs, sitting in board rooms and answering for every pound spent. Every method inside the Digital Discovery & Growth Advisory is what was used to hit real revenue targets in in-house roles. Not a methodology built for a pitch deck.
The advisory grew out of a structural challenge we saw clearly in-house: organic search, paid search, CRO and attribution running as disconnected workstreams, usually under different suppliers, with no unified commercial picture and nobody accountable for the full system. Paid bid on terms organic already owned. Organic was judged on rankings while paid was judged on cost per lead. Four interdependent pillars running simultaneously on every engagement is the answer to that fragmentation.
Every senior hire has held a senior in-house marketing role before joining Surge45. The hiring rule is non-negotiable and compounds over time. When your board asks a question the strategic advisory has never had to answer before, your lead has already answered it, with their own name on the deck.

Organic, Paid, Measured, Grown
Four interdependent pillars running simultaneously. Remove one and the others degrade — unmeasured paid burns budget, organic without paid concedes the terms it has not won yet, and neither means anything until it shows up as revenue.
SEO, AEO and GEO as one job rather than three: being the answer on Google and inside ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot. The engines changed. Earning the ground did not.
ExplorePaid buys the intent organic cannot reach yet and holds the ground while organic compounds. Same buyers, same terms, one plan — and the landing page counts as part of the spend.
ExploreOrganic and paid measured against the same pipeline, not against each other. Attribution, GA4 and the martech under it, so the number in the board pack is one your CFO already reports.
ExploreThe point of the other three. Growth strategy, retention and expansion, turning acquired pipeline into ARR. Measured in revenue, which is the only number the board asked about.
