When an LLM SEO service makes sense
You have no one with SEO experience and need to start quickly. You need sustained outreach to get accurate coverage on review sites, comparisons, and industry publications, which is relationship work most product teams do not have time for. You operate in several languages or markets. Or you want an independent baseline and audit before committing your own team's time.
When in-house makes sense
You already have an SEO lead or content team. Your product is technical enough that outsiders struggle to describe it accurately, which is common in developer tools and B2B SaaS. Your main gaps are on your own site: missing comparison pages, vague positioning, client-side rendering. In those cases, the work is mostly SEO done carefully, and an agency would need your team's input for nearly every deliverable anyway.
The hybrid model
Many SaaS companies keep strategy, measurement, and on-site pages in-house, often with software for page production, and hire a specialist for digital PR and mentions. This keeps product knowledge close and buys the relationship capacity that is hardest to build internally. Agree on one prompt set and method so in-house and agency reports measure the same thing.
Costs to compare
For a service: retainer or project fees, plus your team's time for reviews and approvals, which is rarely zero. For in-house: salary or time allocation, an AI visibility tracker if you use one, and content production. Compare against named outputs over six months, not hourly rates. SerionFlow is an in-house option for the page component; it does not do outreach, so if mentions are your main gap, a service is the better buy.
