[ CHALLENGE ]
David had a great product. What he didn't have was a way to get found.
No budget for a real SEO hire. A qualified SEO specialist costs $60,000/year
minimum. For a bootstrapped SaaS startup burning runway, that wasn't an option.Agencies wanted enterprise budgets. Every agency David talked to wanted
$8,000–$15,000/month with 6-month minimums. For a product still finding
market fit, that was a death sentence.DIY SEO wasn't working. David spent nights and weekends watching YouTube
tutorials and tweaking meta tags. After 6 months: zero first-page rankings,
zero inbound leads, zero ROI on his time.Competitors were winning. Larger, better-funded competitors dominated page 1.
Every potential customer searching for solutions found them first—not BLOCKHAUS.AI search was emerging. ChatGPT and Google Gemini were changing how people
discover software. David's competitors weren't optimizing for it. But neither
was he—because he didn't know how.
David needed enterprise-level SEO at startup-level pricing. He thought it didn't exist.
[ SOLUTION ]
David found Apehx through a founder community. One call changed his trajectory.
