Strategic by default
You get someone who will tell you that rebuilding your product and eligibility pages beats publishing ten more explainers this quarter, and walk you through the pipeline reasoning behind that call.
Industries
Search engines and AI assistants hold money topics to a higher standard, which is why fintech SEO is as much about demonstrable credibility as it is about keywords. We build the technical foundation, the product and solution pages, and the authority that put you in front of qualified buyers.
Financial technology, SaaS and B2B teams come to us for senior SEO strategy and hands-on execution, plus a clearer direction on where growth actually comes from, minus the agency cost and complexity.







What we do
One person owns the whole picture: the technical foundation, how your product and solution pages are structured, the content that has to survive compliance review, the credibility signals that decide whether Google and the AI models trust you on a money topic, and the tracking that connects an organic visit to revenue.
A senior strategist sits in the seat rather than an account manager relaying notes. In fintech the hard calls (what a page may claim, which market to build for) need someone who can work with legal and growth directly.
Fintech sites break in security-shaped ways: a WAF or bot filter quietly blocking Googlebot, IP-based redirects that send a crawler to the wrong regional page, and product detail living behind a login the crawler never reaches.
Assistants are noticeably more conservative on money questions, leaning on sources they can attribute. Getting cited means being unambiguous about what your product does, who regulates it, and where each claim comes from.
In fintech this means product, use-case, by-industry and integration pages, plus the jurisdiction pages that matter when what you offer changes by state or country. These sit closest to revenue and usually get the least attention.
Content with teeth here means explainers a compliance officer will sign and a buyer will trust (how the product works, what the fees and terms are, how security and regulation apply), not another definition post.
You do not win in a map pack, so we read this heading differently: the states and countries you are licensed in, offices that should appear alongside your brand name, and one consistent entity behind every listing.
Trust is an input on money topics, and links are part of how it gets measured. The ones that count in fintech are earned: financial press, regulator and registry records, analyst coverage, and data only your own volume can produce.
Fintech attribution has to work under consent banners and a no-PII rule, across two motions at once: self-serve signups that convert in minutes and enterprise deals that take quarters. Last-click reporting flatters neither.
Generic SEO agencies struggle with fintech for a reason that has little to do with keywords: everything you publish about money is held to a higher evidential standard, and a compliance reviewer sits between the draft and the publish button. Add a product that often serves consumers and enterprise buyers on one domain, sales cycles measured in quarters, and head terms held by banks and affiliate comparison publishers, and the usual playbook stalls. We work as your senior SEO, owning strategy and execution across technical SEO, product and solution pages, compliance-workable content, AIO/GEO, authority and attribution, measured in qualified pipeline rather than sessions.

| Fractional SEO | A traditional agency |
|---|---|
| Who does the work | |
| Fractional SEO: One senior SEO with over a decade of enterprise experience, who plans the work and then does it. Technical, content, authority and tracking held in one head, written to what compliance will clear. | A traditional agency: Usually a junior, with drafts bouncing between your compliance team and an account manager. |
| Who you talk to | |
| Fractional SEO: The same person every time, on a call every two weeks. | A traditional agency: An account manager who carries your questions to the team and the answers back. |
| What it costs | |
| Fractional SEO: From $2,500 a month, scoped to the work actually in front of you. | A traditional agency: A fixed retainer, billed whether or not the month earned it. |
| How long you are tied in | |
| Fractional SEO: Six months to start, then month to month, with 30 days' notice. | A traditional agency: Commonly a twelve-month agreement, up for renewal before you have had time to judge it. |
| What the first 90 days produce | |
| Fractional SEO: A full SEO and AI-search audit, the quick wins that clear compliance review already implemented, and a six-month plan you can see. | A traditional agency: Discovery, a strategy deck, and work starting somewhere in month two. |
| How success is measured | |
| Fractional SEO: Qualified demos, completed signups and pipeline, tied back to the pages that produced them. | A traditional agency: Sessions, impressions and keyword positions. |
| What you own | |
| Fractional SEO: The strategy, the accounts and the documentation, all in your name from day one. | A traditional agency: Often held by the agency, and hardest to get back at the moment you want to leave. |
An agency is the better call when you need paid media, creative and SEO run as one programme, or when the volume of execution is past what one senior person can cover. We will say so on the call rather than take the retainer.
One partner. One strategy. One clear path to growth.
Senior expertise and real strategic leadership, without the overhead, the red tape, or execution that gets diluted between the strategy deck and what finally clears review.
Industry challenges
Fintech sells complex financial products into trust-sensitive markets, where buyers weigh security, compliance, integrations, pricing and credibility long before they convert. That changes what SEO has to solve.
The challenge
Pages that can affect someone's finances are held to a visibly higher standard, and the practical effect is that an unsigned post from a fintech brand competes badly against a bylined article from a source with an obvious track record. Most fintech sites still publish anonymously or under a generic "Team" byline, with no author bios, no stated credentials and no editorial policy anywhere on the domain. The writing can be accurate and still read as unaccountable.
How we solve it
We put real names and verifiable credentials behind the content, add a reviewer byline where a licensed or certified person signs off, and make the editorial and correction policy visible instead of buried in a footer. That is slower than churning posts, and on money topics it does more work than volume ever will.
The challenge
Every draft passes a compliance or legal review before it publishes, which does two things to an SEO program at once. Timelines stretch, so a post planned for March lands in June and misses whatever it was timed to. And the reviewer, doing their job properly, removes the specifics that made the page worth reading, leaving copy that says nothing a competitor's page does not already say.
How we solve it
We build the review into the plan rather than around it: briefs that flag in advance the claims a reviewer will question, pre-agreed language for the ones that recur, and a batch cadence so legal sees work in blocks instead of one urgent draft at a time. The point is a page that keeps its substance and still clears review.
The challenge
On the biggest terms in your category, page one belongs to comparison and affiliate publishers paid per referral, and to incumbent banks with decades of domain history behind them. Both have budgets and link profiles you will not match on those specific queries any time soon. Attacking them head-on is how a fintech SEO budget gets spent without a single qualified signup to show for it.
How we solve it
We treat those publishers as a distribution channel to be earned into rather than a competitor to be beaten, and put your own effort into the long tail they cover badly: specific use cases, integrations, eligibility questions, and comparisons where people want the vendor's own answer. Head terms come later, from the authority that work builds.
The challenge
Plenty of fintech companies run a consumer product and a B2B or API product from the same domain, with one navigation trying to serve both. A developer hunting endpoint documentation and an individual checking how the product works need different pages, different vocabulary and different proof, and when those live in the same shallow URL structure Google has trouble deciding which query any given page answers. Relevance ends up split across two intents and strong in neither.
How we solve it
We separate the two into distinct sections with their own architecture, internal linking and schema, so each set of pages accumulates relevance for the searches it is actually meant to answer. Where the split runs deep enough to justify it, we will recommend a subfolder or subdomain boundary and walk you through the trade-off rather than leaving it implied.
You get someone who will tell you that rebuilding your product and eligibility pages beats publishing ten more explainers this quarter, and walk you through the pipeline reasoning behind that call.
We work directly with compliance, product marketing and engineering, because in fintech a page cannot ship until all three agree on what it is allowed to say.
Success is measured in qualified demos, completed signups and opportunities traced through your CRM, not in sessions or a keyword count nobody in the business ever reviews.
Andrew was amazing to work with from the first time we meet. He was very efficient in updating our existing website to create more activity from our website. I highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking to improve their SEO for better results.
FAQ
Yes, financial services and B2B software make up a large share of the work. What carries across fintech companies is the mechanics: content held to a higher evidential standard, a compliance queue between the draft and publish, comparison publishers sitting above you on head terms, and a product that often serves two audiences at once. What changes is which use cases actually close and where your regulatory constraints bite, and that is the first thing we work out together.
The difference is who actually does the work. At most agencies the senior person in the pitch sets direction, then hands execution to a junior team with an account manager translating in between, which in fintech is exactly where the compliance nuance gets lost. Fractional means that senior person is the one in the account, writing the briefs and sitting in the review calls. You buy the hours you need instead of a fixed retainer, and the strategy, accounts and documentation stay yours.
Technical fixes move fastest: unblocking a crawler or repairing a geo-redirect can show up within weeks. Existing pages reworked for intent typically shift over one to three months. New content is slower here than in most industries, because the compliance queue is part of the timeline and because credibility signals on money topics accumulate rather than switch on. In the first 30 days, expect a prioritised plan and working attribution, not position changes.
Yes. Citation in AI answers rewards slightly different things than ranking does: unambiguous statements of what your product does and who it is for, named and credentialed authors, consistent entity information across the web, and structured data that makes a passage easy to quote. Assistants are more cautious on financial questions than on most topics, so provenance carries extra weight. We track where you appear today and work to widen it, and we will tell you where the evidence is thin rather than overclaim.
Qualified demos, completed signups and pipeline attributed back to organic search, not sessions or keyword counts. That means tracking organic through your forms and signup flow into HubSpot, Salesforce or whatever holds your opportunities, doing it in a way your privacy and consent setup can live with, and using position-based rather than last-click credit so the page that opened a two-quarter cycle still gets counted. Reporting is monthly and leads with what moved in the business.
It can, provided the work targets searches a buyer makes rather than searches that merely have volume. Eligibility, integration, pricing, security and comparison queries tend to convert at a much higher rate than top-of-funnel education, because the person typing them has already decided they need something. We start there, prove the pattern with tracking you can see in your own CRM, then expand upward. We will not promise you a number before we have seen your baseline.
