What is a SaaS Content Writing Company?

SaaS content writing is the process of creating content through writing to express, educate and demonstrate how your product can solve the problems of your target audience or make their lives easier. It is a fundamental component of any SaaS marketing strategy. The content needs to highlight how and why your audience should use your product other than any alternatives.

A SaaS content writing company involves content writing to spread brand awareness, increase conversions, and grow their business revenue. The primary goal of the content is to attract your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), position your authority in the niche, demonstrate to prospects how your product works, and finally encourage the readers to take an action like signing up or booking a call

Let’s say you are a no-code SaaS platform that enables users to develop an application without learning any code. Assuming that all your prospects were already looking for or researching your product,  your content should trigger their curiosity and be informative enough, pushing your prospects to learn more and take action. You can highlight exclusive features of your product and how it is different from others, write a tutorial on how to build an application using no code, or mention the different types of applications that can be built using no code

Process for SaaS Content Writing That Drives Results 

TripleDart’s writing strategy can be broken down into the following steps

Topic and keyword research

At first, we categorize our keywords into 4 key stages, so that we can understand where each query relates to the funnel. The stages are-

Now we have a framework for categorizing each of our keywords according to the user’s search intent. It helps us ensure that we are curating the right content experience for our users.

Moving ahead, let’s get to know our keyword research method

1. Brainstorming sessions

We start by brainstorming a list of keywords that would fit into each of the above-mentioned categories. Later, we can analyze them in keyword research tools as well as the Google search console to validate their metrics and prioritize accordingly. We put ourselves in the shoes of the customers and think through their common pain points and wants.

2. Utilizing keyword research tools

We use different sets of tools like Ahrefs, Semrush for keyword research. We plug each of our keywords, analyze them and record the following metrics-

3. Reviewing Google Ads top-performers and your competitors

We thoroughly review Google Ad campaigns and other paid campaigns to get insights into what’s working and generating demand on the paid side. We go the extra mile to dig into our client’s ad campaigns to see where they are spending their paid marketing dollars to get an idea of the buzzwords.

4. Running a keyword competitive analysis

We run a competitor analysis, we can get an overall understanding of how your competitors are doing to build their organic profile. Using our research tools, we get can dig into a competitor’s profile like-

SERP Analysis

SERP or search engine results page analysis is fundamental for

This is how we perform SERP analysis for the intended content-

Reviewing the titles, page types, and sources of existing page one results

The title of your content and the page types disclose the types of content ranking for your keyword. What is the type of content created for targeted keywords? Are they ‘how to’ articles, landing pages, guides, or something else? The ranking already gives us an idea of what Google thinks is best for the targeted keyword. But this is not set in stone, if we feel we can meet the search intent better with another type of content, we still go for it. 

Reviewing the topics discussed inside of those posts or pages and identifying common themes

We scan through each of the results on the first page and take note of the information or topics discussed, especially those listed in subheadings. We identify the common themes and determine what needs to be covered in your post for it to rank.

Identifying the strengths and weaknesses of individual pages

Understanding what individual pages or articles do well and poorly will allow us to incorporate elements that we think to work well and eliminate the weak links. This also gives us insights into the ways we can differentiate our posts and create content that stands out from the rest.

Content Interviews

Our research process also includes interviews with our clients to ensure we deliver accurate, error-free and in-depth articles. This is necessary for- 

Our interview questions are typically about-

We generally try to talk to as many people as possible like an in-house expert or product manager to gain deep insight into your product and company values. We try our best to tap into the expertise of people at our client’s companies to craft each content meticulously.

Choosing the Article Type and Structure

The type of content you are going to produce for a targeted keyword can play a major role in attracting and retaining an audience. For example, if the content asks for ‘best/top’ or ‘alternative’ keywords, you will see that most of the top-ranking content is in listicle format because that is the best way to satisfy the search intent.

When we are referring to the article’s structure, we mean the subtopics you will discuss in a piece of content (HI, H2, H3, H4) and the order in which they will appear. Let’s be frank here, people don’t read SaaS blog posts word for word like a novel, they will first scan through the subheadings, so we make sure to get that correct.

Typically, we decide on the information to be covered under each subheading before creating the content outline and writing an article.

Writing

After all, this is set up, we get to creating the content skeleton and outline, determining the information under each subheading and how to actually write it. While writing the content, we put in special effort to-

• Getting the intro right-

Getting the perfect intro is the hardest part as it is the first thing your reader notices and decides on whether to continue or not. We pay close attention to making our introduction compelling, attractive, and straight to the point minus all the fluff.

• Incorporating uniqueness-

We try to keep our topics and content specific and original to make the piece as unique as possible, regardless of whether it speaks to specific or general topics.

• Attention to detail and backing up statements with compelling reasoning-

Writing content with a lot of vague statements is easy, but backing them up with reasons and examples needs special expertise. Whenever we write, we try to be specific by providing context and being thorough in our explanations.

• Selling the product-

Whenever we write a SaaS blog piece or article, we discuss our client’s product and how it can solve the corresponding pain points of customers. Typically, we give CTAs at the end after delivering a product walkthrough that shows screenshots of various features and functionality, explaining how they solve the problem differently or better than other solutions.

Editing and On-Page SEO

We finally finish our writing process by polishing them off with an on-page SaaS SEO strategy. Our content piece goes through multiple rounds of reviews and edits, to make sure our end content satisfies our client. We also use various SEO tools to include as many relevant SEO keywords as possible. No, we don’t stuff keywords but take proper care to decide which keywords to include and which to leave without compromising the content quality.

Key Problems with the Typical Approach to SaaS Content Writing

There are different ways to write a SaaS article. But not everyone can deliver it meticulously. After reviewing several articles and resources, we have identified 4 key problems with the way content writing is typically approached in the SaaS industry-

1. More focus on the top-of-the-funnel topics

This is more a content strategy problem than a writing problem as the topics and SEO keywords are already predetermined by the strategist. To put it more clearly, the majority of content marketing strategist goes after high search volume, introductory, top-of-the-funnel topics.

We try to not do that. We start all work with our clients at the bottom of the funnel- focusing on search items we think that ‘ready to buy now’ prospects would Google. This is because they have way more chances of conversion than the top-of-funnel posts. 

SaaS companies that write on top of the funnel, typically write introductory topics that aren’t closely related to their product. This type of content does not demand much input from their company experts to produce content. 

For example, A product management SaaS company delivering yet another ‘Everything you need to know about product management’ won’t teach an experienced product manager anything they don’t already know.

2. Generic introductions

Writing introductions is probably the toughest part of writing an article. Writing generic introductions can cause readers to bounce, impacting the retention rate. Even if you have high-quality content throughout the body of the article, a bad introduction with ‘fluff’ can bore your audience even before getting into reading the whole piece.

3. Not discussing or selling the product enough

The problem with most SaaS writing is that companies focus content efforts on topics that have little to do with their product, so they don’t mention their product in their content. This is also to do with the mentality that the content is more about earning trust and generating brand awareness and less about selling their product.

SaaS businesses have to understand that to see actual ROI from their content marketing, they need to adopt the strategy of selling their product through their content. This goes for both bottom and top-of-funnel topics.

Blog Types That Convert Most Users for SaaS Products

Here are the top 3 blog types that are likely to convert the most

1. How-to Guides

How-to guides are an excellent way to capitalize on this by providing solutions to the most common problems faced by customers during their day-to-day operations. If you can figure out the core problems of your target audience, you can easily create a sequence of how-to guides that offer actionable solutions.

Let’s say you are a product management SaaS tool. In this case, your target audience may want to know more about the process of creating a Roadmap, how to manage feedback requests, and so on. After discovering the common problems of your target audience, you can create how-to guides around the topics.

2. Long-Form Blog Posts

Creating long-form blog posts makes perfect sense as it gives you a higher chance of ranking. Google loves it! You can start by curating content with detailed information on any given topic, covering every aspect of the topic, and answering any questions that your target audience may have.

You can also create long-form blog posts on topics that are likely to remain relevant for years to come. This will help you to generate a steady stream of organic traffic. Multiple studies have proven that long-form content always outperforms short-form content. For example, a study by SEMrush found that long-form content of over 7000 words can generate up to 4 times more traffic compared to content of 900-1200 words.

3. Comparison Posts

Comparison posts help potential customers make well-informed decisions and they are one of the highly recommended blog types to write for SaaS companies. Comparison posts usually compare two or more similar products with one another and evaluate them from different angles such as features specifications, pricing, and use cases. The primary goal of writing comparison blog posts is to influence your prospects to choose yours over others when researching their options in the market.
