Here’s a clear list of the Key Aspects of Transactional SEO:
Focus on users who are ready to take action (sign up, start a trial, request a demo, purchase).
Identifying keywords that indicate users are ready to make a purchase or take a specific action.
Creating pages that are tailored to the specific needs and search terms of users with high-intent.
Using structured data and A/B testing to optimize user experience and increase conversions.
Create content for multiple buyer personas, industries, and use cases to capture niche transactional intent.
Aligning SEO efforts with business objectives, such as driving sales or generating leads.
Showcase unique selling propositions (USPs) prominently to outperform competitors targeting the same transactional keywords.
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.
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.
Transactional keywords often contain phrases such as "buy," "demo," "signup," and “trial” to name a few.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
