Field notes on SaaS SEO

What we are seeing in campaigns, in the SERPs and inside AI answers. Written by the people running the work, not a content team describing it from the outside.

The short answer

What this blog covers

The Authority Magnet blog publishes the playbooks we run on client engagements rather than general SEO commentary. 7 in-depth guides so far, written by Mohammad Qaiser, covering SaaS SEO, answer engine optimization, LLM and ChatGPT visibility, and the technical audit checklists we work through on every site. Everything here is work we ship for clients.

FAQ

About this blog

Who writes it, how often it updates and what it is for.

Apply to work with us
Who writes these articles?
Every post is written by Mohammad Qaiser, who runs the client engagements. Nothing here is outsourced to a content agency or generated and published unedited, which is why there are 7 guides rather than a weekly feed.
How often do new posts go up?
Irregularly, and deliberately so. A post goes up when there is something worth documenting from client work, not on a content calendar. Existing guides are updated as engines change, which matters more for this subject than volume does.
Are these the same playbooks you run for clients?
Yes. The SaaS SEO checklist and the technical audit checklist are the working lists we run on engagements, published in full rather than gated. If you hire us, you are paying for execution and judgment, not for access to the method.
Can I use these checklists myself without hiring you?
That is what they are for. Both checklists are complete and in dependency order, and plenty of teams work through them in house. If you get stuck on the technical items or the AI citation work, that is usually the point at which an agency is worth paying for.
Do you cover AI search and answer engines specifically?
Yes, and it is the most active area here. There are dedicated guides to answer engine optimization, LLM SEO and ChatGPT SEO, covering how to get a product named when a buyer asks an assistant which tool to pick. That work is now a standard part of every engagement.

Want this run on your site?

Everything we publish is what we do for clients. Tell us the product and the category, and we will tell you what is realistic.
