Sam Dunning

Breaking B2B hit $138k MRR in 21 months. Here’s my 7 bets to break $200k ASAP in 2026:

1. Improve time to value.

One thing I hate about the SEO industry is pointless month long technical audits to collect cash.

We’ve just shrunk our onboarding flow to start executing on a game-plan one week from sign up.

Then we work on audits / reviews if needed whilst making progress to drive pipeline.

I still wanna speed this up.

2. SEO/AEO.

Gotta keep practising what we preach.

Showing top when high intent prospects search on Google and LLMs looking for a SaaS SEO agency.

3. Niche influencer partnerships.

Working with founders who have our ICP (SaaS marketing leaders and founders) to run their SEO engine.

Right now working with Adam Robinson @ RB2B and Adam Holmgren @ Fibbler.

We all share the full roadmap ups and downs here in public.

The trust this builds is unbeaten.

Looking to bring another founder with a strong following in our ICP onboard.

4. YouTube and podcast. 

Hardly any b2b companies are nailing YT.

We share our full playbooks weekly on SaaS SEO & AI search.

With top notch production from Samu and team.

Not only are this vids evergreen and searchable but we cut them up to publish here.

More and more prospects now mention they’ve seen our videos on sales calls.

Also interviewing SaaS mktg leaders on the Breaking B2B podcast to share how they drive growth today.

5. Founder brand.

I try to do the opposite of most SEO agencies. 

Memes.
Music videos.
SEO man skits.
Ask the public series.
Share our full SEO playbooks.

And a tonne more.

Get attention first then link back to our offer.

6. LinkedIn ads.

Making top organic posts thought leader ads and serving them to site traffic from all above activity.

Also targeting cold ICP.

Shout-out to George for running this engine for us. 

7. Deliver 5% extra.

We’re working to systematise an at least weekly value-add on top of our usual monthly works for every client.

Could be a loom video with CRO ideas, some free web dev, blog reccos or anything else to help drive growth.

My theory is this keep churn down and increases word of mouth recommendations.

Recently been blessed with folks mentioning we are recommended in Exit Five and other communities and wanna keep that building.

Cheers to an epic 2026!

Last weekend I blew $6.5k on 33hrs in Budapest and failed to hit our goal.

We aimed for 8 long-form videos.

Ended up recording 7:

- How a 19 yr old hit $50k MRR
- SaaS SEO explained in 5 minutes
- The b2budapest adventure (vlog)
- 5 yrs of SaaS SEO knowledge for free
- YouTube marketing strategy for SaaS
- I interviewed 466 SaaS marketing leaders…here’s what I learnt
- Crafting a SaaS SEO strategy live for a founder

All dropping on the Breaking B2B youtube and podcast over the next 2 months.

Saw some epic sights of the city.

Walked a tonne.

Great to meet our YT producer Samu

and cheers to Ben for filming everything.

Look forward to the next one!

No alternative text description for this image

RB2B and dozens more SaaS orgs drive signups & demos fast as 30 days with this simple SEO/AEO play: 

List out every competitor you have.

Make a dedicated page for each variation of:

competitor 1 vs competitor 2 vs you
competitor alternatives
competitor pricing
competitor reviews
 
Leverage customer research to share:

Why you
Where you’re a good fit
Where you’re not
Show product in action
Leverage customer results
A fair comparison of others

Why?

These pages are super low difficulty.

They rank FAST.

Plus the listicle articles get cited on AI overviews and ChatGPT.

Helping you control the narrative for your org.

Just like this example for Leadfeeder alternatives for Adam Robinson of RB2B.

Nobody searches this for fun.

They do it because they’re annoyed with their current vendors pricing, support, lack of features or they are comparing software to invest in.

Often low traffic keywords…

But super high sales intent to get those all important organic demos and signups flowing.

Flew 1000+ miles to Budapest
(8 solid videos is the goal)

Met our YT producer Samu today.

Recorded some solid SaaS SEO video breakdowns at cool landmarks.

Went to a rooftop spa.

Had some great food.

Saw some great sights.

Now onto some podcast eps.

Blessed to be able to grow Breaking B2B and enjoy the process and partnerships. 

Great weekend!

Fibbler just broke $500k ARR. Next stop $1.5M+ ARR in 2026. Adam engaged Breaking B2B to fire-up their SEO/AEO inbound engine. Here's our exact strategy for December:

THE GAME-PLAN.

Drive sign-ups quick as humanly possible from dream clients searching for linkedin revenue attribution tools, comparing vendors, frustrated with their current vendor or struggling with a problem Fibbler solve.
 
We are focusing on bottom funnel articles and high-DR link building. The pages we’re recommending target high-value competitors or category terms where Fibbler should be mentioned.

NET NEW CONTENT.

We'll craft net new listicle based articles for:

- dreamdata alternatives (70 searches/mo)
- factorsai alternatives (10 searches/mo)
- linkedin marketing tools (600 searches/mo)
- linkedin ads [analytics] tools (10 searches/mo)

All long form 2-2.5k+ words.

Listicles are SUPER powerful to show up in AI overviews, ChatGPT and google organic.

Most are low difficulty and can drive pipeline within 90 days.

Plus they help you control the narrative and are solid assets for your website (and AI search results).

We position Fibbler as #1 backed by why customers choose them, where they are a good fit, where they aren't,  show the product in action, leverage social proof + clear CTA. Then a fair comparison on other vendors.

LINK BUILDING.

DA50+ links earnt from niche relevant sites and external listicles going back to our homepage and our own listicle articles.

linkedin ads attribution tools x1
linkedin revenue attribution tools x2
linkedin ads attribution x1
fibbler x3

Fibbler ranked on AI & search in 5 days.
(12 months for SEO $$$ is a myth).

Yes, competitive category based keywords can take that 6-12 months+

But.

There's money to be made in 90 days.  

Competitor content is one of many winner for quick sign-ups and demos.

They are low difficulty and can rank super fast.

List out the competitors your customers often evaluate, or move over to you from.

Then look at terms like:

[competitor] alternatives
[competitor] reviews
[competitor] pricing
[competitor 1] vs [competitor 2] vs [you]

Right now, listicle based articles rank exceptionally well on google and AI search.

Position your solution as the top choice (backed by customer research), showing your product in action + social proof along with where you're a strong/poor fit. 

Then a fair comparison of other vendors.

Working a treat already for Adam Holmgren and Fibbler.

Not sure why our screenshot looks like an old newspaper haha.

I just recorded an ultimate guide to drive pipeline in 90 days w/ SEO & AEO.

Grab the 34-minute video course & playbook: https://lnkd.in/et7yce7s

I started Breaking B2B because I’m selfish as f**k.

Rewind a few years.

At my last agency.

Monthly cash flow was up and down

We’d sell a few projects and be on an up.

And the next month have low sales and be struggling.

A stressful life.

Then it clicked.

We had a steady flow of daily leads from our organic #1 money keywords on Google.

Why not offer the same for our clients 

Do something we can deliver well on.

Get organic search working to drive solid leads for them.

And secure us some monthly recurring revenue.

After some time…

I learnt B2B SaaS companies were the ones we got best results for 

They had the problems we solve around:

- lacking SEO resource in house
- competitors outranking them on Google & AI search
- relying too much on paid ads or outbound
- last agency delivering traffic but not pipeline 

So in Feb 2024 Breaking B2B began with one focus. 

B2B SaaS SEO for revenue NOT vanity.

https://lnkd.in/e7XuM6au

I’m spending $6.5k on 48hrs in Budapest this Sunday…all in to fuel the media engine for Breaking B2B. Here’s why: 

THE THINKING.

I am all in on attention first from ICPs then linking back to our offer.

Most b2b and SaaS marketing is boring. 

Especially SEO.

After 21 months building this company in my home office…

It’s time to get out, meet more partners and customers and ramp up our mktg engine.

This will give us a tonne of footage plus we get to experience good sights and times in Hungary.

Originally planned around $3k 

But:

Flights
Hotels 
Transport 
Videographer (Ben) 
YouTube production (Samu)

And food, drinks & sights add up.

I’d much rather invest in these evergreen assets than chuck more in ads.

THE PLAN.

Fuel our media engine for the next 2 months.

AKA Breaking B2B YouTube and podcast.

Record 8 different videos in different spots.

4x solo episodes around what works today in SaaS SEO/AEO to drive pipeline.

3x live interviews with b2b marketers and founders. 

1X vlog of the whole journey and to see if we can fit it all in plus have fun at the same time and see Budapest.

All of which are sales assets to build awareness and proof we can deliver. 

Plus we can chop up for posts here.

WANNA FOLLOW ALONG?

Follow Breaking B2B YouTube and podcast over the next couple months too see the good, bad and ugly!

Where should we go next? 👇

RIP LinkedIn organic 2026....This DEADLY TRIO feels unfair for driving highly qualified pipeline. SEO, YouTube and TL ads. Copy our exact playbook driving MRR growth at Breaking B2B:

The trust you build when these 3 work together feels unmatched. All before prospects jump on a call with your team.

1. SEO/AEO.

Work out what dream clients search when:

- needing your solution now
- frustrated with incumbent
- wanting to solve problems
- evaluating vendors

Prioritise high sales-intent and low difficulty.

Craft best in class articles, landing pages and product listicles depending on what ranks well for the search term.

Leverage customer research and social proof to make each a sales page for your solution.

Secure rankings in google and LLM visibility by earning backlinks and brand mentions on other sites talking about your niche/products.

e.g. we rank well for 'saas seo agency' 'b2b saas seo agency' 'best saas seo agencies' etc

This gets you mindshare and help you collect demand from high-sales intent buyers across Google organic and LLMs. 

2. YouTube.

Massively mis-used and neglected by B2B/SaaS orgs.

Work out your money keywords then craft solid videos for each that share the full strategy and show real proof of results of your product as the painkiller.

We share our full playbooks weekly on SaaS SEO & AI search.

As well as interviewing marketing leaders.

All with a YT first approach.

Vids are evergreen and searchable and we cut them up to cross-promote on here.

You can embed relevant vids onto landing pages, articles etc (can give an SEO boost).

Many folks we have come inbound mention seeing us on YT.

3. LINKEDIN TL ADS.

This needs someone from your org who's posting organically with a following of your ICP.

This piece of the puzzle links all the above together.

Organic posts sharing:

- how to's
- your pov
- why your org
- edutainement
- playbooks and guides
- proof you can deliver 

Adding a CTA l*nk into the post then running them as thought leader ads to ICPs from the traffic you get from the above channels.

AND.

Running these to other clients/customers/partners posting about your org.

This keeps you top of mind and drives trust with existing pipeline and colder prospects.

I've just finished recording my best SaaS marketing strategies for 2026 (there's some weird ones in there we're seeing work).

Backed by working with RB2B, Adam Robinson and dozens more fast growth tech companies to fuel organic pipeline.

Wanna watch it?

Comment "SaaS" below 

and I'll send over as soon as its ready.

No gates, you'll get the video to watch right away.

I've interviewed 466+ SaaS marketing leaders in 6 yrs and helped RB2B, Proposify, EventsAir & dozens more drive millions in pipeline. Here's my 6 best SaaS marketing strategies for 2026 (backed by data).

Just some of what I cover:

1. How to resonate with dream clients (skip this at your peril)
2. Build an SEO/AEO engine (with examples for Adam & RB2B)
3. Influencer b2b partnerships are killer (copy our process)
4. Exactly how to win on YouTube
5. Founder brand (do the opposite of competitors)
6. Amplifying organic winners w/ linkedin ads

All plays I run for Breaking B2B helping us hit $1.8M+ ARR in 22 months. 

Watch the full 25-minute video: https://lnkd.in/eiryuXrF

CMO: “I ain't waiting 12 months. How long til SEO/AEO drives pipeline”
Me: “It depends. Just kidding…most clients see demos in 90 days. Here’s how…”

Drive revenue from EXISTING bottom funnel content.

Start with the highest commercial value pages most likely to drive leads that are closest to top 3 organic spots (ahrefs > keyword opportunities > filter to commercial intent)

Look at competitor pages ranking top 3 organic right now for your money keywords, note down gaps on the page topic you can double down on that will make your page more helpful, trustworthy, useful and convincing to dream clients.

Update meta title w/ hook. Here’s one we use: SaaS SEO Agency [Crush 2026 MRR Goals]

Embed a YouTube video breakdown on the topic.

Add POV insights from expert on your team.

Weave in product screenshots/demo/GIFs examples.

Add relevant customer quotes, testimonials, reviews.

Add FAQs that address real harsh customer Qs and objections from sales & CS calls.

Add internal links from other relevant pages on the topic to and from the page.

Many of these pages updates can rank top of google organic and get AI visibility as quick as 1-2 months with the right approach.

Then once that's nailed...

Craft a net new MONEY keyword matrix.

Get with your sales and CS team.

Fire up a google sheet with 4 columns

- Our core offers
- Industries we serve best
- Competitors
- ICPs jobs to be done

Then you can build out long-tail niche keywords with solid buying intent behind them.

"best X software"
"X for [industry]"
"[competitor] alternatives/pricing/reviews"
"[competitor ] vs [competitor] vs [you]
"how to [crisp and expensive problem for ICP]"

Prioritise the low difficulty, high sales-intent ones to craft best in class pages for:

"[competitor] alternatives/pricing/reviews"
"[competitor ] vs [competitor] vs [you]

These can start driving demos and sign-ups 90 days from being published on both google organic and LLMs.

I just recorded an ultimate guide to drive pipeline in 90 days w/ SEO & AEO.

Grab the 34-minute video course & playbook below 👇

In 139 seconds you'll learn the fastest way to scale your AEO/SEO authority. This strategy took Breaking B2B from 0 DR to driving pipeline in 90 days from launch on a new domain:

Step 1. 

Grab an SME from your team does a lot of press, podcast interviews, media coverages etc.

Step 2.

Longin to ahrefs or similar tool. Cut and paste their linkedin profile url. Hit backlinks tab. Filter to higher DR sites and find the niche relevant ones.

Step 3.

Make a list of the sites that only linked to your SMEs linkedin page.

Step 4.

Find out who wrote the article/page then connect on LinkedIn and send them a tailored loom video asking to add a backlink to one of your money keyword pages and mention your brand and category.

Step 5. 

Get an SEO win (solid backlink) and AI search win (brand mention)

Step 6. 

Repeat for all past media and future ones.

___

I recorded a 34 minute breakdown of the SEO/AEO strategy we're running for Adam Robinson & RB2B to scale sign-ups and revenue so you can copy it.

Watch or listen below 👇

CMO: We can’t share pricing. Board won’t approve.
Me: ChatGPT shares it regardless. Wanna control the narrative or risk 3rd parties sharing false info?

LLMs have put an end to hiding information on your website to force leads at all costs.

It’s long overdue in B2B/SaaS.

Share information buyers care about seeing on your website.

Or when your dream clients search for your company pricing or compare you against a bunch of competitors...

Your pricing could be shared by a disgruntled Reddit user along with a write-up to follow or from an out of date source.

The better way?

Share:

- Pricing
- Use cases
- Integrations
- Case studies 
- Industries you serve 

And beyond.

Leverage customer research to dive deep + share what your prospects could be searching for pain points, goals, jobs to get done and much more around the topic.

The more niche and specific the better.

Trust.
Visibility.
Qualified inbounds.

___

PS. grab my 90 days to revenue SEO/AEO video & playbook (1,811 b2b marketing legends did already) 👇

The new way to do SEO.
(AI and classic organic)

Work out your money keyword.

Example here for B2B SaaS "best [category] software"

Understand what type of page you need to craft.

Usually a listicle based article for this type of keyword.

Leverage customer research in your content:

Why you.
Where you exceed.
Where you aren't a fit.
Plenty of social proof.
Show the product.
Clear CTAs.

Simple technical SEO:

Money keyword in URL, H1, meta data.
Internal links to and from relevant pages.
Clean UX, fixed CTA side bar for articles.

Earn brand mentions and placements:

Get featured top 3 placements in articles comparing your software:

This is huge for AI overviews mentions.
Mentions in ChatGPT.
Plus backlinks for classic Google organic.

Rinse and repeat for every way a dream client can search when:

Needing your solution today.
Wanting to solve a problem.
Frustrated with incumbent.
Comparing vendors.

This drives mindshare, demos and sign-ups for B2B SaaS.

Organic demos in 6 weeks.
(SaaS SEO shouldn't take 12 months)

- We doubled down on what their ICP cared about
- Focused on high sales intent keywords/prompts
- Crafted articles and listicles using our research
- Showed how their product was the solution
- Built authority w/ mentions and backlinks

And as a results started driving inbounds in 6 weeks from ChatGPT and Google organic.

Watch dozens more client review videos and apply to work with us: https://lnkd.in/e7XuM6au

ChatGPT made tracking SEO hard as f**k.

Marketers, here’s what we recommend tracking:

LEADING INDICATORS.

- Organic rankings up for money keywords (buying intent keywords) on Google 
- Click throughs upping for money keywords
- Organic qualified traffic up
- Session times up
- Visits to high intent pages (product pages/pricing/demo/results)
- Traffic from ChatGPT and other LLMs
- Citations in LLMs 
- Money prompts brand mentions in LLMs (bottom funnel searches around your software, problems you solve, competitor reviews etc)
- Share of search against competitors 
- Branded traffic (now many folks will find brands in AI search then go direct to search for your brand or even your homepage) or AI search > Google > your site.

LAGGING INDICATORS.

- Top funnel: asset downloads, email sign-ups, checking your podcast
- Bottom funnel: booked demos, product sign-up, booked calls
- Organic leads moving forward in deal stages
- Leads turning into revenue

___

Report on all these wins (screenshots FTW) as soon as you see them to leadership in slack or internal comms to show progress at it flows. 

___

Make sure you get data from a mix of sources...

Adding “how did you hear about us?” on booking calendar/forms.

Asking "what was your full journey to booking time with us today?" again on sales calls.

Getting these notifications to flag up into slack.

Checking website analytics tools info.

Put all the pieces of the puzzle together.

And remember SEO/AEO works best as part of the b2b marketing ecosystem to build mindshare, brand and capture demand.

I just recorded an ultimate guide to drive pipeline in 90 days w/ SEO & AEO.

Grab the 34-minute video course & playbook below 👇

b2b marketing jargon explained:

Lead: someone who looked at sales
MQL: put down gmail for playbook 
SQL: put work email for playbook
Hot lead: turned up to zoom call
CAC: good if under ads spend
Pipeline: 3+ MQLs this month 
Founder brand: ceo pls post
Brand: lets redesign the site
CPC: some bots hit our ads 
PR: post the funding round
Paid media: 99% of budget
Outbound: buy ai SDRs 
Inbound: need please
ACV: whale paid once 
ICP: buyer with pulse 
Quota: pipe dream 
SEO: dead innit?
AEO: alive? 

Any to add? 👇

RB2B is $6.6M ARR and 3 FTEs. 168 days ago Adam told Breaking B2B to arm the cannons on SEO/AEO...Here's the full results so far 👇 

THE PLAYBOOK.

Scale organic sign-ups fast as humanly possible.

Nail every way ICPs search on google and LLMs when needing visitor identification software, comparing vendors, looking to move away from incumbent or struggling with a problem RB2B fix.

Craft best in class pages positioning RB2B as the painkiller + solution showing their time to value with plenty of proof.

Scale authority with backlinks and external listicle placements for ChatGPT/LLM mentions.

REVENUE-DRIVING KEYWORDS NOW RANKING TOP.

- website visitor identification
- website visitor tracking
- identify b2b website visitors
- b2b website visitor tracking
- b2b website visitor tracking software
- leadfeeder alternatives
- clearbit alternatives
- many more

Traffic from these up 50%.

Non branded, high-intent traffic up 43%.

201% growth in organic sign-up page hits.

Naturally, this is all direct attribution.

There will be plenty more who convert on a later visit after first seeing RB2B mentioned on ChatGPT and google organic.

WANT THE STRATEGY FOR YOUR B2B/SAAS?

I recorded a 34-minute breakdown video covering everything you need to craft a pipeline focused SEO/AEO strategy and execute.

Watch it here: https://lnkd.in/eiZfaXXq

A CMO's 5 golden rules to driving pipeline from SEO & AEO in 2026:

1. The 95/5 rule.

Nail exactly what the 5% of your market search for when in buying mode for your solution, weighing up competitors or struggling with a problem you solve.

2. Get the quick wins.

Look what bottom funnel content you already on your site have that could use a refresh to rank to of google or gain LLM visibility (ahrefs > low hanging fruit keywords). Start here for fast organic pipeline.

3. Build an epic moat.

Ensure you have dedicated pages on your site for:

- Product
- Pricing
- Features
- Use cases
- Integrations
- Competitors
- Case studies
- Technical docs
- Best X software articles
- Industries & ICPs you serve

Each addressing all the pain points, goals, why you, jobs to be done your ICP can be searching for.

With plenty of relevant social proof and positioning your solution as the painkiller. 

4. Control the narrative.

You don't want an angry reddit user publishing about your pricing because you hide it on your website.

Brand mentions + your category are big for LLM visibility. 

Features on external listicles talking about your software, podcast appearances, review sites and more are all great for this (outside of point 3 work on your own site).

5. Have the right mindset.

Realise SEO is gonna be less and less about traffic and more about being the brand of choice in answer engines and on google organic when dream clients need your solution or have issues you solve.

Account Executive

Co-founder @ Shape & Scale | Orchestrating growth through HubSpot & RevOps | Ex-marketer

𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲, 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀. 

This belief led me to co-found Shape & Scale with Suzanne Block. 

We orchestrate growth for our clients through PR, RevOps, and HubSpot. 

PoV, people, processes, and technology. 

That's what we do. 

And we do it for SaaS and technology companies – from seed to SME. 

𝙉𝙤𝙬, 𝙖 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙢𝙚.

As a first-generation immigrant born in Holland to a Pakastani father, I never took the easy route. 

For ten years, I  worked as a waiter, bartender, and bar manager in the service industry.

It taught me more than I could imagine.

A 14-year veteran of marketing agencies, I've led cross-country video shoots, managed web and app projects, and most recently scaled a digital practice from $0 to $2,000,000 in three years. 

I guess you could call that full-stack 📚?

Working with Enterprise clients like Verizon, Deloitte, and Microsoft to consulting with fast-growth start-ups like IronNet has given me a broad view of what works and what doesn't.

In addition to my client-side experience, I was an agency operations leader with expertise in defining processes, implementing growth strategies, refining delivery and partnerships, and building high-performing teams and tech stacks.

Of all the clients I've worked with, the ones that succeed understand these three fundamentals: 

• The 𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 of alignment. 
• The 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 of data.
• The 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙 for product market fit.

Hit me up any time – DM or email. I'm always willing to help if I can and love talking shop. 

𝗠𝘆 𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲
• Go-to-market strategy
• HubSpot & RevOps (13 HubSpot certifications 🎫 and counting)
• Demand generation and demand capture (Programmatic, Paid Social, Search)
• Data and analytics (GA4, anyone?)
