The Problem With How SEO Has Been Sold
For years, SEO has been sold as a retainer. You pay monthly. You get a report monthly. Six months in you ask what moved — and the answer is always “it takes time.”
Meanwhile your ICP has shifted. They’re researching on ChatGPT before they ever hit Google. They’re trusting AI recommendations over blue links. They’re making vendor decisions in communities, on G2, in AI-cited listicles — and most brands have zero visibility into any of it.
The playbook that worked in 2019 doesn’t work in 2026. But most agencies are still running it.
WithSEO exists because we refused to.
Who We Are
WithSEO is an organic growth agency built around one belief: that organic growth should be measurable, explainable, and tied directly to pipeline — not rankings, not deliverable counts, not monthly reports that nobody acts on.
We work with B2B SaaS and D2C brands that are serious about organic as a growth channel. We run sprint-based engagements, not retainers. We diagnose with our own intelligence engine before we touch a single deliverable. And everything we produce — every audit, every roadmap, every brief — is yours to keep.
We are not a large agency. We are a focused one. Every client gets practitioner-grade thinking, not a junior team working from a template.
Who Builds WithSEO
Ayush Verma — Co-founder
Ayush has spent 13+ years scaling B2B SaaS and D2C brands across the US market. He has led organic growth, demand generation, content strategy, and product marketing for companies across martech, edtech, fintech, and ecommerce — from early-stage startups to global enterprise.
He has worked with brands including Netcore Cloud, WebEngage, DocketAI, Kitaboo, Aayka Fashion, Spotdraft, PrintStop, SendGrid, BITS Pilani, Digital India Mission, and Startup India Mission.
Over 13 years he noticed the same pattern repeating: brands investing in SEO without a clear view of what was actually moving the needle, agencies selling retainers and reporting on vanity metrics, and nobody connecting traditional organic performance to the new reality of AI search.
So he stopped consulting inside that broken model and built a new one. WithSEO is the agency he always wanted to hire but could never find. Sprint-based. Intelligence-first. Outcome-obsessed. And built on proprietary technology that most agencies don’t have access to — because we built it ourselves.
Gaurav Patil — Co-Founder
Gaurav has been in the industry for 7+ years scaling B2B SaaS and D2C brands globally through strategic SEO. He has led organic growth, content strategy, technical SEO, and search-led demand generation across Conversational AI, Martech, B2B, B2C and D2C companies.
He has worked with 50+ brands like Yellow.ai, WebEngage, KNYA, Talisman, Petsy, CountryBean, and Dekor Company.
The Intelligence Engine Behind Everything
Every WithSEO sprint is powered by our own organic intelligence engine.
Before we scope a single engagement, the engine runs a full diagnostic — tracking where you’re cited across AI search engines including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Copilot, correlating your GSC performance data against Google’s full algorithm update history, mapping what your competitors are doing better page by page, and surfacing the technical issues quietly holding your rankings back.
This is not a standard audit using the same tools you already have. This is a proprietary intelligence layer built specifically to connect AI search visibility with traditional organic performance — because the two are now inseparable.
The engine is currently in private beta. If you’re interested in early access as a standalone tool, you can join the waitlist below.
How We Work
We run sprints — not retainers.
Every engagement has a defined scope, a defined timeline, and a defined outcome. You know what you’re getting before we start. When the sprint ends, you own everything.
We diagnose before we prescribe.
We never scope a sprint without running a diagnostic first. The intelligence engine tells us exactly where to focus — so we don’t waste your time or budget on the wrong problem.
We work in your stack.
We don’t lock your data inside our dashboards. We work in Google Sheets, your CMS, your tools. Everything is transparent, auditable, and portable.
We are outcome-obsessed.
We measure success in ranking recovery, citation positions, traffic movement, and pipeline impact. Not deliverable counts. Not hours logged.
We tell you when we’re not the right fit.
If your biggest problem is something another sprint or another specialist handles better, we say so. We’d rather lose a project than deliver the wrong one.
What We’ve Built and Who We’ve Built It For
Over 13 years and 150+ brands, here is what the work has actually looked like:
Grew Docket’s organic traffic from 0 to 3,000 visits/month in 4 months in a new category.
Positioned Docket as the #1 brand in the revenue enablement category
Drove 500% revenue growth for Aayka Fashion in two years.
Kitaboo!
What We Believe
You don’t buy organic growth from an agency. You build a system — one that compounds over time, survives algorithm updates, and adapts to how your ICP searches. Our job is to engineer that system with you.
Your ICP is already using AI engines to research vendors, compare options, and make decisions. If you’re not in those citations, you’re not in the consideration set. This is not coming — it has already happened.
Every action we take has a rationale. Every deliverable we produce is explained. Every recommendation is tied to data. You should always know why we’re doing what we’re doing.
Your data, your content, your playbooks — all of it belongs to you. An engagement with WithSEO should make you more capable and independent, not more dependent on us.
