A lot of developers still think SEO is mostly about keywords and blog posts. But once you work on a real SaaS product at scale, you realize SEO is deeply technical. Site speed, rendering methods, JavaScript frameworks, indexing control, internal linking logic, schema, and crawl budgets all become part of the growth equation.
Modern SaaS platforms ship fast. New features, landing pages, APIs, and integrations roll out constantly. Without solid technical foundations, that speed can quietly create SEO debt—duplicate pages, broken internal links, bloated scripts, and poor Core Web Vitals. These things don’t usually break the product, but they absolutely limit discoverability.
The tricky part is that SEO issues often don’t show up in a CI pipeline or error logs. Traffic slowly stalls. Rankings flatten. Conversions dip. And because nothing is “broken,” the problem gets ignored longer than it should. This is where structured technical SEO strategy starts to matter as much as clean code.
I was digging into how SaaS teams handle this balance and came across how MADX approaches SEO from both a growth and technical perspective, which honestly makes a lot of sense. It’s not just about content it’s about making the whole system discoverable by design.
For developers working on SaaS products, SEO shouldn’t be an afterthought that only the marketing team touches. It’s part of performance, accessibility, architecture, and scale. If users can’t find what you build, even the best product eventually struggles to grow.
