FAQs

What is transactional in SEO?

Transactional SEO refers to search engine queries with the intention of completing a transaction, such as purchasing a product or signing up for a service. Transactional Queries are a fundamental concept in SEO, especially significant for SaaS businesses.

What is an example of a transactional search?

An example of a transactional search is: “Best project management software for small teams” This type of search shows that the user is not just researching (informational intent) but is close to making a decision and is actively looking to buy, sign up, or compare solutions.

What are the list of transactional keywords?

Transactional keywords often contain phrases such as "buy," "demo," "signup," and “trial” to name a few.

What is Jobs to be done SEO?

Jobs-to-be-Done SEO is an approach that aligns your content with the real tasks or problems users are trying to solve, rather than just targeting keywords. Instead of focusing solely on search volume, it identifies the “job” a user hires your product to do like “automate client reporting” or “reduce churn” and creates content around that intent.

By addressing these specific outcomes in your SEO strategy, you attract more qualified, high-intent traffic that is aligned with your product’s value and use cases.

What is Transactional Traffic?

Transactional traffic refers to visitors who arrive at your website with the clear intent to take a specific action—usually to make a purchase, sign up for a trial, request a demo, or complete a conversion-related goal.

In SEO, transactional traffic is driven by bottom-of-funnel (BOFU) keywords like:

  1. “Buy [product name]”
  2. “[Tool] pricing”
  3. “Best alternative to [competitor]”
  4. “Free trial [software category]"

These users are typically further along in the buyer journey and more likely to convert, making transactional traffic highly valuable for SaaS and eCommerce businesses.

Frequently Asked
Questions

01

How long does the on-boarding process usually take?

+
-

Typically, 7-10 business days for a new ongoing client. In this time we align on brand and goals, strategize, and kick off the new account internally. This allows us to get set up for success without rushing the process.

02

What is the minimum contract length?

+
-

We are a bespoke agency and understand that engagement needs differ from business to business. We provide month-to-month SEO advisory and deliver services in a project capacity, where the contract is for that arrangement. For clients where we own SEO, we have a 6-month contract minimum to ensure the effective execution of the strategy and tactics.

03

Why Exalt Growth is a better solution than hiring in-house?

+
-

It's a hard and time-consuming process to establish a successful SEO function. You must find, train, and pay SEO Strategists, Content Managers, Writers, and Designers. This is even challenging without considering the experience and contextual knowledge these people need to create and execute an effective SaaS SEO strategy.

With Exalt Growth, you get proven SaaS SEO experts who will generate results in the background giving you back time to focus on the core function of your SaaS.

04

Why is Exalt Growth a better choice than other SEO agencies?

+
-

Exalt Growth specializes in SaaS SEO with deep expertise in product-led growth, feature-focused content, and full-funnel strategies.

Our tailored, non-template strategies and proven case studies (e.g., Dovetail, Cascade) show how we drive real growth by aligning SEO with your product and user journey.
