An SEO agency charges €2–5k/month for keyword research, content briefs, and article production. WriteGap does all three automatically, every Monday, for €29.99/month.

SEO agencies aren't magic. Their work is structured and repeatable. Understanding what they do reveals what you can replicate with the right tool — and what genuinely requires human expertise.
Typical engagement includes a dedicated account manager, a strategist, a writer, and an analyst. You get a monthly strategy call, 2–4 articles, a rank tracking report, and occasional link building outreach. Minimum 6-month commitment. First results visible at month 3–4.
€24,000–€60,000 per year. For most early-stage SaaS products, this is a significant portion of the marketing budget — before you've validated that SEO is the right channel.
Weekly keyword gaps, brief per keyword, one-click drafts. You edit 20 minutes per article. No contract, no minimum commitment. First article can be published on Monday of week 1. Traffic from low-competition keywords starts within 4–8 weeks.
€359/year. If one article brings 500 visits/month from a customer worth €500 LTV and converts at 1%, that's €2,500 in pipeline from a €359 annual investment. The math is straightforward.
The smart path for most startups: use WriteGap to build content momentum and establish topical authority in the first 12 months. Use the organic traffic data to identify where an agency's link building would have the highest ROI. Bring in an agency when the content is working and you're ready to amplify it — not before you've proven the keywords convert.
Paste your domain. WriteGap identifies your competitors from your product description, verifies them against DataForSEO ranking data, and starts the gap analysis pipeline.

20 min/week · paste readyMost of the monthly retainer covers: keyword research (identifying which terms to target), competitive analysis (understanding the SERP and competitor content), content briefs (telling the writer what to cover), article production (writing or commissioning the content), and on-page optimization (H1s, schema, meta descriptions). WriteGap automates all five. What agencies do that WriteGap doesn't cover: link building outreach, technical SEO audits, and long-term strategy consulting. If your SEO bottleneck is content production rather than technical issues or backlinks, WriteGap replaces the most expensive part of the retainer.
Most self-directed SEO fails for one of three reasons: targeting keywords nobody searches for, publishing content without matching search intent, or publishing inconsistently. WriteGap addresses all three: it only targets keywords with verified search volume and winning difficulty levels; the brief and draft structure are based on what's actually ranking for that query; and the weekly automated brief makes consistency the default rather than an act of discipline. If previous SEO efforts stalled because research took too long or you weren't sure what to write, WriteGap removes both blockers.
With WriteGap: about 20 minutes per article. The brief arrives Monday. You click "Generate draft," read it, add your voice and specific examples, and publish. That's it for the week. Without a tool like WriteGap, doing it properly takes 3–5 hours per article: keyword research, SERP analysis, brief writing, draft writing, schema markup. Most founders start that process and don't finish consistently — which is why most self-directed SEO stalls after the first few weeks.
WriteGap focuses on content: finding what to write and writing it. If your site has technical SEO issues — slow load times, crawl errors, duplicate content, broken structured data — you'll need a technical audit separately. Tools like Screaming Frog (free up to 500 URLs), Google Search Console's Coverage report, or a one-time technical audit from a freelance SEO can cover that. Technical SEO is usually a one-time fix; content production is an ongoing need. WriteGap handles the ongoing part.
You're ready if: you have a working product with clear competitors, you can publish content to your site yourself, and you can commit to editing and publishing one article per week. You're not ready if: your site has major technical SEO problems (the agency would fix those first), you're in a highly competitive category where content alone won't move rankings without backlinks, or you need strategy across 20+ sites. For a focused SaaS product targeting one or two markets, WriteGap covers the weekly SEO content workflow completely.
Keyword research, content briefs, article drafts — automated every Monday. No contract, no 6-month commitment.
