Expert Content Marketers For Your SaaS Business
SaaS companies have unique content marketing challenges, with the need to acquire new leads and convince existing customers to re-subscribe. Scripted can help.
Content Marketing for Your SaaS Organization
The time is right to be in the SaaS (Software as a Service) market. Spending on SaaS is projected to reach $195 billion this year, an increase of nearly $50 billion since 2021. To grab your share of the market, you’ll need to cultivate leads and turn them into customers. That’s where SaaS content marketing comes in.
SaaS marketing strategies require creativity and a deep understanding of your industry. Traditional sales techniques often don’t translate to the world of SaaS. Whether you just released your SaaS app or you’re simply looking to attract more customers, Scripted has content creation services that work for you.
What is SaaS Content Writing?
The biggest mistake SaaS companies make is thinking that they can approach marketing in the same way as a traditional business with a physical product for sale. Even strategies that work great for e-commerce don’t succeed in the SaaS market.
Here’s the biggest reason: SaaS products and services don’t have a tangible presence. Whereas traditional marketing focuses on the best ways to get a physical product into a customer’s hands, SaaS marketing is all about selling an online service.
Therefore, a SaaS marketing strategy uses digital channels to build brand awareness. A wide variety of techniques are used to reach potential customers and relay the value of a SaaS product.
Power your marketing with great writing.
What Makes SaaS Content Marketing Different?
Selling a product that customers can’t see or touch is unique to SaaS marketing. But it’s not the only reason why SaaS marketing is different.
SaaS apps are often complex and appeal to a narrow niche. Creating simple and memorable campaigns that convey the service’s value and reach potential customers can prove incredibly challenging. Search engine optimization (SEO) can be trickier because of the more complex questions buyers are asking and the relevant terminology.
Traditional marketing often slows down once the product has reached customers. As the SaaS business model is built on subscribers, there’s an essential focus on customer retention.
SaaS marketing strategies establish a robust online presence, use multiple methods to attract customers—and work to retain them. No single approach will meet all those goals. You need a proven combination of content marketing methods.
That’s why Scripted’s content marketing platform as a service (PaaS) offers a variety of content creation services to allow you to diversify your marketing strategy and reach as many potential subscribers as possible. We provide the following writing services to SaaS businesses like yours:
- Blogs
- Articles
- Whitepapers

- Transcriptions
- How-to guides
- Video scripts
- Ebooks
- FAQs
- Landing pages

Challenges of Developing Your SaaS Content Strategy
Scripted understands the many pain points experienced by B2B SaaS providers. We work with many businesses just like yours to help alleviate these challenges.
Finding the time to create genuinely compelling content on a regular basis is tricky for most businesses. As a SaaS provider, you have to deal with inbound enquiries, plus handle the maintenance and queries of your existing paying customers, not to mention updating your own products and services to keep up with a rapidly shifting market.
Outsourcing your SEO content to Scripted gives you back time that you can spend on your real passion: Your business.
Many SaaS companies may choose not to use a content marketing platform simply because of the complexity of the services they provide. Some freelance content creators may have a limited knowledge of the SaaS industry and related terminology. You might have been stung with content from a writer with an inability to effectively communicate product features and benefits to your target audience.
Our community of tech writers loves software, hardware, and emerging technologies like AI, ML, and edge computing. Simply talk to a member of the team or browse our pool of technology-focused writers to find the right content creator for you.
Maybe you're lucky enough to have a great in-house blog writer whose content marketing efforts bring more visitors to your website. But how are their social media skills? Can they craft a newsletter that increases your email-open rate? Consistency, when you're marketing across multiple platforms, is really tricky to achieve without expert help.
Scripted’s content creation team helps you create a content calendar and stick to it, delivering content for all the online spaces where your business is active whenever you need it. Quality content, 100% satisfaction guaranteed.

Why Invest in a Content Marketing Platform?
Getting traffic to your website requires content. While product pages will attract a few interested parties—especially when you buy product descriptions from an SEO specialist!—nothing brings more visitors than informative, high-quality content. For this reason alone, content marketing is essential for any SaaS business.
You can see how it works for yourself. Go to Google, and search for SaaS apps in your product or service category. If your product is a time management app, for example, search for “time management saas app.” You’ll notice that the first results pages are filled with your competitors’ blog posts.
High-quality content contains relevant keywords and answers the questions asked in search queries. Using the time management SaaS app example, some specific keywords might be “time management” and “time tracking.” Some questions your blog posts answer could include “How do time management apps work?” and “Do time management apps sync to my phone?”
By creating content relevant to your target audience, you’re helping your ideal customers find you. Content marketing is also versatile, as you can share your blog posts on social media and other digital channels.
High-quality, targeted content makes you a more recognized entity in your field. Build authority with buyers and become a trusted resource for anyone seeking information on your specialism. Lead generation is easier when you use quality content to build brand awareness. A better brand means more chance of you becoming a leading organization in your sphere.
