Our overview
Ten Speed is an organic-growth agency that helps B2B SaaS companies build content and SEO systems designed to grow sustainably.

Ten Speed’s approach helps SaaS marketers move from ad-reliant acquisition to compounding inbound growth through strategy, analytics, and editorial precision.
What does Ten Speed do?
Ten Speed is an organic growth agency based in Chicago that works mainly with B2B SaaS companies. Its tagline is “Organic growth, built for AI search”, and its services center on search and content.
- Search: SEO strategy, technical SEO, and AEO (answer engine optimization for AI search)
- Content: content strategy and content creation
- Reach: digital PR, social media marketing and email marketing
- Planning and reporting: B2B SaaS marketing strategy and performance measurement
Content and search sit at the center of that list. The PR, social and email services can help get that content in front of more people.
Who does Ten Speed work with?
Ten Speed’s website names B2B and SaaS as its market, and it has a page for product-led growth (PLG) SaaS companies. It describes its team as US-based SaaS marketers.
Clients named on its site include TechSmith, ProsperOps, WealthBlock, Teamwork.com, ignition, rasa, Bitly, Huntclub, spot.ai, Metaplane, Hologramo and Workvivo. The list also includes TSL and Jay Shetty. The site does not say which of these clients are SaaS businesses, so ask.
How does Ten Speed work?
The agency says it was founded in 2020 and lists an office at 159 N. Sangamon St in Chicago. Its case study titles point to a repeated method: find the mid-funnel and product-led topics buyers search for, write content for them, and update older pages as well as publishing new ones.
The tagline’s focus on AI search shows up in the services too, with AEO listed beside SEO. Ask how the two are reported, and whether AI answers get their own measures.
What results does Ten Speed’s website point to?
Ten Speed publishes case studies on a Results page, and most of the titles carry a figure:
- Concept3D: “Strategic Content Drives 48% Conversion Growth”
- Workvivo: traffic value raised to $54,000+/month in 12 months by targeting mid-funnel, product-led content
- Stable: 509% organic traffic growth in 6 months from mid-funnel topics
- Range.co: “138% Traffic Value Growth”
- A B2B SaaS project management company: 2x organic traffic with content aimed at its ideal customers
- An unnamed client: 133% traffic growth in under 12 months from updating and speeding up content
- Bitly: an integrated global SEO and content program
- Another client: consistent growth through product-led content
These are the agency’s own figures. Most measure traffic or traffic value, so ask how the same work showed up in pipeline.
What to ask Ten Speed before you hire them
- For the Workvivo and Stable case studies, what happened to sign-ups or pipeline as traffic grew?
- How do you measure results from AI search, and what does an AEO report show?
- How do you choose between updating old content and writing new pieces in the first few months?
- Who writes the content, and how much input do you need from our product team?

The Best B2B SaaS Agencies for AI Search Visibility Ranked
Best for: GEO integrated into content and SEO
- AI search factored into content architecture
- One program across search and AI results
- Content structured for extractable answers
Read our reviewHide our review
Ten Speed factors AI search behavior into how content programs are structured, reflecting the shift in how B2B buyers begin their research. Their content architecture is designed to perform across both traditional search and AI-generated results: well-organized, authoritative content on a topically strong domain satisfies the conditions for both environments, which means the same program serves both channels rather than requiring separate investment.
Their approach to AI visibility is embedded in strategy rather than treated as a tactical add-on. Topics are selected partly on the basis of what AI tools are likely to surface when buyers ask category-level questions, and content structure is designed to give AI models clear, extractable answers that position the client as a cited source. This makes GEO a natural byproduct of building the content program correctly rather than a separate optimization exercise.
Ten Speed suits B2B SaaS companies that want AI visibility integrated into their content and SEO program from the strategy stage. They are less suited to companies looking for a dedicated GEO specialist or a fast-turnaround AI citation audit, or to those that need visibility results before a content program has had time to build the topical authority that drives consistent AI citation.
Our review by service
SEO
Ten Speed treats SEO as integral to content strategy rather than a separate service layer. Topic selection, content architecture, and internal linking are all informed by keyword and intent research from the outset, which means every piece in the program is positioned to rank rather than published and then retroactively optimized. This integrated approach prevents the common failure where strong content underperforms because the SEO fundamentals were not built into the brief.
Their SEO work covers keyword and topic research, competitive content analysis, on-page structure, internal linking strategy, and the technical foundations that support content indexing and ranking. The program is designed around compounding: early pieces establish topical authority that makes subsequent pieces rank faster and with less effort over time. Distribution and promotion support natural link acquisition rather than relying on link building as the primary authority lever.
Ten Speed is a good fit for B2B SaaS companies that want SEO and content run as one program with shared goals and shared reporting. They suit companies building medium-to-long-term organic visibility. They are less suited to companies that need a technical SEO audit disconnected from content, or to those looking for fast ranking gains through aggressive link building rather than a compounding editorial program.
Content marketing
Ten Speed is an organic growth agency that helps B2B SaaS companies build content programs designed to compound over time. Their approach treats content strategy, production, and distribution as one connected system rather than sequential deliverables, ensuring that what gets published is shaped by how it will be found, shared, and built upon. The agency works with SaaS companies that want to move from ad-dependent acquisition toward inbound that keeps working without ongoing spend.
Their content work covers topic strategy grounded in buyer intent and competitive research, brief development and editorial production, and the distribution and promotion infrastructure that turns individual pieces into an audience-building system. AI search behavior is factored into how topics and content architecture are designed, which means the program is built to perform in both traditional search and AI-generated results simultaneously.
Ten Speed suits B2B SaaS companies that have decided organic content is a meaningful acquisition channel and want a partner that manages the full system rather than just producing pieces to a brief. They work well with growth-stage teams that are building content as a long-term asset. They are less suited to companies that need immediate pipeline results or a high-volume, templated content operation at low cost.
