Best Grow and Convert Alternatives for B2B SaaS (2026)

Grow and Convert's AI search services focus on your own site and outreach to the articles AI tools cite. They deliberately skip Reddit, even though Profound's analysis of 680 million AI citations found it was the top cited source in Perplexity and Google AI Overviews.

So we compared seven alternatives on AI search reach, SaaS focus, pricing, and proof, with honest pros and cons for each.

In 2026, the best Grow and Convert alternatives include Scalerrs, Embarque, Codeless, Your Content Mart, Optimist, Graphite, and SimpleTiger. Beyond their approach to AI search, these agencies differ primarily on industry focus and budget.

What Is Grow and Convert (and Why Consider an Alternative)?

Grow and Convert is an SEO and content marketing agency, now offering GEO, founded by Devesh Khanal and Benji Hyam. Its "Pain Point SEO" method targets bottom-of-funnel terms first, such as category, comparison, and alternatives keywords, and tracks conversions per article.

Teams usually look elsewhere when they need:

• More output per dollar: The service runs $10,000 a month, or $9,000 with a one-year commitment, for 34 pieces of content a year.
• Reddit: Its GEO page argues Reddit marketing misreads what AI models cite, so Grow and Convert doesn't offer it.
• A SaaS and tech specialist: Its client filters span B2B, B2C, service, and ecommerce businesses.

How We Ranked the Agencies on Our List

Scalerrs is first because it's our team and the only agency here we know from the inside. For the other six, we used each agency's own website and its Clutch or G2 profile.

We scored every agency, including our own, on the same criteria:

• SaaS focus: Does it serve only SaaS and tech, or many industries? We favored agencies that already understand long sales cycles and diverse buying committees.
• Conversion focus: Does it report on signups, demos, and pipeline, or on traffic and rankings? We looked for reporting a marketing leader can take straight to the CEO.
• AI search coverage: Does it work on AI answer visibility, including off-site sources such as Reddit and listicles? Agencies scored higher when they work on the sources AI tools actually cite, not just your own pages.
• Scope beyond content: Does it handle links and technical SEO, or articles only? Broader scope meant fewer vendors for you to manage.
• Proof: Are there named client results you can check before a call? We gave weight to case studies with real numbers and named clients over unattributed claims.

Top 7 Grow and Convert Alternatives: A Quick Overview

1. Scalerrs: Best for SaaS and Tech Companies That Want to Own Their Category

Scalerrs is an SEO, AEO, and Reddit marketing agency built only for mid-market and enterprise SaaS and tech companies, with the US as our main market. Where Grow and Convert writes content for your site, we cover every place your buyers research before a demo call: Google, AI answers, Reddit, and the third-party pages AI engines quote.

We've worked with 80+ SaaS companies, and 8.5 in 10 clients hit their KPI targets.

Key Features of Scalerrs

We plan SEO, AEO, and Reddit together, because AI engines draw on search results, Reddit threads, and third-party pages alike.

• SaaS SEO built around pipeline: We start with the pages buyers read right before booking a demo: comparisons, alternatives, pricing, and use-case pages. Then come supporting articles through our SaaS content creation team, technical fixes, and editorial links from our SaaS link building program. Our SaaS SEO services report on SQLs and pipeline, so you can defend the budget to leadership with numbers they care about.
• AEO that gets you cited in AI answers: We track which pages ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Mode quote for your buyers' prompts, then earn you a place on them through on-page structure and AI brand mentions in third-party listicles. Our AEO services are built for the CMO whose CEO keeps asking why ChatGPT recommends a competitor.
• White-hat Reddit marketing: Grow and Convert says Reddit marketing misreads what AI models cite; at Scalerrs, we disagree. Our Reddit marketing program posts from your branded handle and named employees, with the affiliation stated. We answer first and mention your product only when it fits. This way, the posts and comments stay up instead of being removed and buyers trust you instead of you getting banned.

Scalerrs Pricing

Where Scalerrs Shines

• SaaS and tech only: Grow and Convert also serves B2C, service, and ecommerce brands. We don't, so we don't spend your first months learning how software buyers evaluate vendors, move through long sales cycles, or sign off as a committee.
• AEO that goes off-site: Beyond your own pages, we earn placements in the third-party listicles and Reddit threads AI engines cite, as part of the plan rather than a per-campaign add-on. Stan Rymkiewicz, Head of Growth at Default, put it this way: "I can confidently say about 30% of our pipeline comes from AEO/SEO and AI search."
• Reddit done right: Grow and Convert doesn't offer Reddit. We run the same disclosed, white-hat playbook large public companies use: your branded handle, named employees, and your own subreddit, grown over time.
• Custom client portal: Your campaign lives in a portal we custom-built with software agency Verticulate, so you can see progress between weekly updates without chasing anyone.
• Talent density: We hire SaaS and tech SEO specialists only, and our bench includes respected practitioners such as Artur Perrella Glukhovskyy and Elena Dyulgerova. 

Where Scalerrs Falls Short

• Not for pre-product-market fit: SEO can't validate a product. Talk to customers and sell founder-led first.
• SaaS and tech only: E-commerce, service businesses, and teams that need paid ads or a new website should look elsewhere.

Scalerrs Customer Reviews

In eight months, Pabau, a clinic management platform, grew organic traffic from 21,900 to 75,300 and became the most-cited domain across its tracked AI search prompts, ahead of Zenoti, Vagaro, and Boulevard. 

AI search now drives 33% of its self-attributed pipeline and more than 4,000 referral visits. "We're the highest-cited domain and often rank #1 for comparison queries," says Thiago Muffo, Head of Growth at Pabau.

On Clutch, where Scalerrs holds a 5.0 rating, Jennifer Lane, Marketing Manager at Milient Software, wrote: "I'd highly recommend Scalerrs to any business looking for a strategic partner to grow its organic presence."

Who Scalerrs Is Best For

• SaaS marketing leaders under pipeline pressure: You own an aggressive number, and leadership wants to know why AI answers skip your brand.
• SEO leads without bandwidth: You know what to do but can't scale content, links, and Reddit with your current team.
• Teams burned by a generalist agency: You want a partner fluent in attribution and long sales cycles. See our client case studies for proof.

2. Embarque: Best for Smaller SaaS Teams That Want SEO and Reddit on a Budget

Embarque is a revenue-driven SEO agency serving SaaS alongside FinTech, HealthTech, and marketplaces. Versus Grow and Convert, it's far cheaper and includes Reddit as a service.

Key Features

• Pick-your-services plans: Content (five to eight assets a month), backlinks, technical optimizations, local SEO, and Reddit posts, chosen by tier.
• AI search work: LLM SEO, GEO, and AEO, including placements in listicles, Reddit threads, and industry publications.

Pricing

Where Embarque Shines

• Transparent pricing: Embarque lists every tier on its homepage, so you can budget before a call.
• Named results: Picflow saw a 525% increase in sign-up rate from blog traffic, per Embarque's case studies.

Where Embarque Falls Short

• Beyond SaaS and tech: Its service pages also target real estate, dentists, and white-label agency work, which could be a limitation if you want a SaaS-focused agency.
• Small-business skew: Clutch lists 100% of reviewing clients under $10M in revenue, and most reviews date from 2022 to early 2023.

Who Embarque Is Best For

• Seed to Series A SaaS: Teams with $1,500 to $5,000 a month who want SEO and Reddit without an enterprise retainer.

3. Codeless: Best for SaaS Companies Building an In-House Content Engine

Codeless (codeless.io) moved from content production to a "build-operate-transfer" model for growth-stage and enterprise SaaS companies doing $10M to $500M+ in ARR. Whereas Grow and Convert writes for you, Codeless builds the system, runs it, then hands it to your team. Clients include monday.com, Freshworks, Descript, and Robinhood.

Key Features

• Content Operations Engine: Writer recruiting, editorial workflows, and a handover to your own writers.
• Organic Search System: SEO planning built for both traditional search and AI-generated answers.

Pricing

Where Codeless Shines

• Big-name SaaS proof: monday.com's blog grew from 12,586 to 304,856 visits over 18 months, per Codeless's case study.
• You keep the capability: Codeless hands the content engine to your team, so you aren't tied to an agency long term.

Where Codeless Falls Short

• Traffic-led reporting: Case studies report visits and keywords rather than pipeline or demos.
• No Reddit or dedicated AEO service: Codeless handles AI answers inside its SEO planning only.
• Split focus: Hotel and travel SEO is a second major vertical, and its five Clutch reviews date from 2022 to 2023.

Who Codeless Is Best For

• Scaling SaaS with hiring budget: Companies past $10M ARR that want an in-house content team, not a long-term vendor.

4. Your Content Mart: Best for Early-Growth SaaS That Measures Content by Signups

Your Content Mart, founded in 2021 by Shehu AbdulGaniy, is the closest match to Grow and Convert's philosophy here: BOFU content judged by signups. It caps its roster at eight B2B SaaS clients with $1M+ ARR or seed funding.

Key Features

• "Signup Engine" content: Comparisons, alternatives, listicles, and product-led articles.
• AI search optimization: For ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini, included in higher plans.

Pricing

Where Your Content Mart Shines

• More content per dollar: The Growth plan delivers eight new articles a month for $5,500.
• Signup-first reporting: Copysmith's organic signups grew 553%, from about 529 to 3,457 a month, per Your Content Mart's case study.

Where Your Content Mart Falls Short

• No independent reviews: No Clutch profile turned up, and its G2 listing has zero reviews.
• No Reddit: Your Content Mart builds backlinks but doesn't work on Reddit.

Who Your Content Mart Is Best For

• Self-serve and PLG SaaS: Seed to Series A teams that want Grow and Convert-style BOFU content at a lower monthly price.

5. Optimist: Best for B2B Tech Teams That Need Senior SEO and AEO Strategy

Optimist, founded by Tyler Hakes in 2016, is now an SEO and AI search consulting firm for B2B tech and SaaS. Unlike Grow and Convert, it sets strategy and refers content production to partners.

Key Features

• SEO and AI search strategy: Organic search, AEO, and GEO planning.
• Organic pipeline generation: KPIs tied to pipeline across SEO and AEO.

Pricing

Where Optimist Shines

• Pipeline focus: Stampli saw 5x inbound SEO pipeline, per Optimist's site.
• Low commitment: Month-to-month retainers from $3,000.

Where Optimist Falls Short

• No content production: You'll need your own writers or a second vendor.
• No off-site work listed: Optimist doesn't list Reddit, link building, or listicle placements.
• Limited reviews: Its Clutch profile has a single review.

Who Optimist Is Best For

• Teams with writers but no strategist: Series A B2B tech companies that need direction more than output.

6. Graphite: Best for Large Brands That Want Research-Led AEO

Graphite, led by Ethan Smith, is a research-driven growth agency working with Webflow, Adobe, Upwork, and BetterUp. Its AEO service includes prompt research, citation-ready content, technical AEO, and an offsite AEO and Reddit strategy, which Grow and Convert doesn't offer. 

The trade-offs: no public pricing, a 12-month minimum on SEO, no client reviews on Clutch or G2, and a client list that spans consumer brands as well as SaaS. It fits enterprise teams ready to commit for a year.

7. SimpleTiger: Best for SaaS Teams That Want SEO, Paid, and Web Under One Roof

SimpleTiger is a remote SaaS marketing agency with 15+ years in business. It covers SEO, AEO and GEO, link building, content, paid search and social, and Webflow design, with pipeline-focused reporting. 

Clients include Invoca, Gainsight, and Firecrawl, and Clutch rates it 4.9 from 32 reviews. Pricing is a custom quote after a demo. It doesn't list Reddit as a service. It fits SaaS teams that want organic and paid managed by one agency.

FAQs

1. Which Grow and Convert Alternative Offers More Than Content?

Scalerrs and SimpleTiger go furthest beyond content. Scalerrs pairs SEO with AEO, link building, and white-hat Reddit marketing for SaaS, so you're covered on Google, in AI answers, and in community threads. SimpleTiger adds paid search and Webflow design to SEO. Codeless also covers paid, but it hands the system to your team instead of running it long term.

2. Which Grow and Convert Alternative Is Best for Building Demand?

It depends on your stage. For mid-market and enterprise SaaS, a B2B SaaS SEO agency that reports on pipeline, such as Scalerrs, builds demand from buyers already comparing vendors. Earlier teams on tighter budgets can start with Your Content Mart's sprints. If you're still searching for your first channel, test a few before you commit to any marketing agency for B2B.

3. Which Grow and Convert Alternative Covers AI Search and GEO?

Most of them do in some form. Scalerrs, Embarque, and Graphite go furthest because they work on off-site sources such as Reddit and third-party listicles, where AI engines pull many answers. Your Content Mart, Optimist, and SimpleTiger cover AI search on your own pages. When you vet any GEO agency, ask which sources AI cites in your category and how they'll get you there.
