What we can actually evidence.
How these are measured
- SaaS brands served:
- n = 30 SaaS brands. company inception to August 2026. Count of distinct SaaS companies under a signed advisory agreement. Excludes one-off audits, workshops and prospect calls.
- Years in-house experience:
- n = 1 founding team. 2015 to 2026. Cumulative years spent in salaried, in-house growth and marketing roles at SaaS companies before founding Surge45.
- AI assistants tracked:
- n = 6 assistants. current monitoring coverage. ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot and Grok, plus the AI Overviews and AI Mode surfaces inside Google Search. A coverage fact, not a performance claim.
- Growth pillars, one system:
- n = 4 pillars. current advisory model. Discover, Convert, Attribute and Grow. A structural fact about how the advisory is organised, not a performance claim.

Illustrative composite. These are engagement patterns described by category, not named clients, and the figures show the shape of an outcome rather than a single verifiable result. Read them as an indication of what the work produces, not as a claim you could check. Where we publish a number about the firm itself, it carries its sample size, window and method on the page.

Questions teams ask.
What's included in a content strategy engagement?
A typical engagement includes content audit, competitive analysis, keyword research, buyer journey mapping, topic cluster development, editorial calendar, and measurement framework.
How long does strategy development take?
A comprehensive content strategy typically takes 4-6 weeks to develop, including research, analysis, and strategic planning. This gives you a solid foundation for 6-12 months of content execution.
Do you also create the content?
Yes-we can lead content creation end-to-end through our Execution engagements, or set the strategy, briefs, and framework as a strategy-only engagement. Either way, we stay accountable for the work being on-strategy.
How do you prioritise content topics?
We use a scoring model that considers business value, search opportunity, competitive difficulty, and buyer journey stage to prioritise topics that will have the biggest impact.
What if we have existing content?
We always start with an audit of existing content to identify what's working, what can be optimised, and where gaps exist. We never start from scratch unnecessarily.
How do you measure content strategy success?
We establish clear KPIs upfront including traffic growth, keyword rankings, engagement metrics, lead generation, and pipeline influence. We track and report on these throughout.
