Fractional SEO & AI Search Lead for Founder-Led B2B SaaS

Turn Google and AI search into signups without running SEO yourself.

You already believe in SEO.

I work directly with founder-led B2B SaaS companies to own SEO strategy, content operations and AI-search visibility, so organic growth no longer depends on the founder.

You provide the product context. I own organic growth.

These weren’t traffic projects. They were customer-acquisition programs.

You shouldn’t still be the person running SEO.

Maybe you’ve hired writers.

Maybe you bought Ahrefs or Semrush, learned enough SEO to get started, and you’re already seeing some traffic.

But somehow everything still comes back to you.

You are still:

  • deciding what deserves to be published;
  • managing writers and reviewing briefs;
  • trying to understand where Google and AI search fit together;
  • wondering why more organic traffic isn’t becoming customers.

At some point, the problem stops being

“We need more content.”

It becomes

“We need someone experienced to own this.”

The role · Fractional SEO & AI Search Lead

I become the senior owner of your organic-growth function.

I don’t hand you a strategy deck and ask your team to figure out the rest.

I work inside the business as your Fractional SEO & AI Search Lead and take responsibility for keeping organic growth moving.

Strategy & prioritization

Where should we compete, what should we create, and what should we stop doing?

SEO + AI search

Google visibility and the emerging discovery surfaces where buyers increasingly research products.

Content planning & briefs

Turn commercial opportunities into clear, executable work.

Team & execution

Lead the writers, editors or agency resources required to get the work shipped.

Optimization

Refresh existing content, strengthen internal linking and improve conversion opportunities.

Measurement

Connect organic performance to signups, pipeline and the decisions we should make next.

You
Product expertise, customer context and business priorities.
Me
The organic-growth operation.

What actually ships

Fix what already has leverage

Refresh pages close to winning, recover declining content and improve high-traffic pages that aren’t converting.

Create high-intent assets

Alternatives, comparisons, use cases, solution pages and other content tied directly to buying decisions.

Run the content operation

Briefs, writers, revisions, quality control and publishing workflow.

Improve discovery

Internal linking, AI-search visibility, measurement and ongoing experimentation.

We don’t optimize for content volume.

We optimize for the work most likely to create customers.

The 30-Day Takeover

In the first 30 days, SEO comes off your plate.

  1. Days 1–7

    Understand

    Product. ICP. Customers. Existing performance. Current team. Google and AI-search baseline.

    OutcomeI understand the business well enough to stop giving generic SEO advice.

  2. Days 8–14

    Prioritize

    Existing leverage. Buyer-intent gaps. Conversion opportunities. Competitive wedges. Work we should stop doing.

    OutcomeWe know where organic investment should go first.

  3. Days 15–30

    Ship

    Priority refreshes, briefs, internal linking, content production and workflow improvements start moving.

    OutcomeThe strategy is being executed, not sitting in a document.

By Day 30:

  • Clear roadmap
  • Measurement baseline
  • Working execution pipeline
  • Priority initiatives moving
  • Founder no longer keeping SEO alive
What you should be able to say on Day 30“Shehu has this.”

What happens after Day 30?

Months 2 and 3 are about running the system, building momentum and determining whether the economics justify greater investment.

At Day 90, we make one of four decisions:

  • Scale
  • Continue selectively
  • Transition in-house
  • Stop

I don’t believe in keeping companies on SEO retainers indefinitely because “SEO takes time.”

You’re not hiring someone to learn SEO on your company.

Shehu AbdulGaniy presenting on stage at Search Africon
On stage at Search Africon.

I’ve already run the kind of function I’m asking you to hire me to own.

I’ve built SaaS organic-growth strategies, managed writers and editors, created hundreds of briefs, improved existing content, built internal-linking systems and connected organic performance to customer acquisition.

I’m also the founder of Your Content Mart (opens in a new tab), where I’ve built and managed the operational side of SaaS SEO at scale.

This engagement is deliberately different:

You work directly with me.

No junior account-manager handoff.

AI and specialist contributors can increase execution capacity, but strategy, priorities, quality and accountability stay with me.

Agency operating experience. Direct operator access.

Maximum 3 active fractional engagements.

You shouldn’t have to manage me in order for me to manage SEO.

Expect one focused weekly working session, a deeper monthly review and async collaboration when decisions actually require you.

I come to you with what shipped, what changed, what we learned, what happens next and what I genuinely need from you.

That’s enough.

Built around the team you actually have

Have good writers? I’ll lead them.
Already have an agency or marketer? I can work with them.
Have nobody? I can help build the lean execution layer we need.

The objective is senior ownership, not replacing people who are already doing good work.

Investment

The engagement

$3,500/month

Initial engagement: 90 days.
Then month-to-month.

Maximum 3 active fractional engagements.

The first 90 days have a specific job

Month 1
Take ownership.
Months 2–3
Run the system and validate the opportunity.
Day 90
Scale, continue selectively, transition in-house or stop.

Included

Direct senior ownership of strategy, SEO + AI-search prioritization, content planning, team direction, optimization, measurement and weekly execution management.

Specialist production costs such as writers, design, development, major PR/link acquisition or premium third-party tools are separate where needed.

30-Day Takeover Guarantee

By Day 30, you will have a prioritized roadmap, measurement baseline, working execution pipeline and priority initiatives moving.

If those things aren’t in place, I continue working at no additional fee until they are.

Opportunity-Fit Protection

If I conclude during Month 1 that organic discovery is materially weaker as an opportunity than we reasonably expected, I’ll tell you rather than asking you to fund a weak thesis.

Traffic is a metric. Customers are the objective.

We look at product signups, demos and pipeline first, then the search and operating metrics that explain them.

I want every monthly review to answer: What shipped? What changed? What created value? What did we learn? What happens next?

No ranking guarantees.No fake revenue promises.No “we just need another six months.”

This isn’t for every SaaS company.

Probably not a fit if…

  • You’re still deciding whether SEO matters.
  • You haven’t reached product-market fit.
  • You need SEO to generate emergency revenue in the next 30 days.
  • You primarily want cheap writing or mass AI content.
  • $3,500/month would create financial stress for the business.

Probably worth a conversation if…

  • You already believe organic can work.
  • You’ve tried SEO or content before.
  • You have traction but lack senior ownership.
  • You’re tired of personally keeping the channel moving.
  • You want Google + AI discovery connected to customer acquisition.

Questions founders ask

Do you personally write all the content?

No. I own strategy, briefs, optimization, quality and execution management. Your existing writers can execute, or I can help assemble the lean team required.

What if we already have an agency or marketing team?

That’s fine. If they’re good, I can work with them. My role is senior ownership inside the business, not replacing every existing provider.

How quickly should we expect results?

Work starts immediately. By Day 30, the operating transformation should be clear and priority initiatives should be shipping. Search outcomes depend on existing authority, competition, demand and implementation speed. The first 90 days are designed to determine whether the channel deserves continued investment.

Can you guarantee rankings or AI recommendations?

No. Nobody credible can. I guarantee the parts I control: ownership, strategy, quality, execution cadence, measurement and operating progress.

Why not hire someone full-time?

Sometimes you should. Fractional makes sense when the business needs senior ownership before it needs 40 hours a week of senior SEO leadership. If a full-time hire later becomes the right decision, I can help transition the function in-house.

You built the company. You shouldn’t still be the person keeping SEO moving.

If organic growth matters to the business but still depends too heavily on you, let’s see whether I’m the right person to take ownership of it.
