    Your SaaS website isn't a brochure. Stop treating it like one.

    Most SaaS sites are built backwards. Design first, copy as an afterthought, zero strategy for how pages connect. The result? A pretty site that doesn't rank and doesn't convert.

    This guide gives you the complete blueprint. Here's what you'll learn:

    • The exact pages your SaaS website needs—from homepage to footer, every page type that drives traffic and conversions
    • How to connect them strategically—internal linking architecture that passes authority and guides visitors through their buying journey
    • Why each page matters for SEO—keyword targeting, content structure, and conversion optimization for every page type

    Ready? Let's go.

    The $10M–$100M ARR SaaS Website Architecture

    Let's start with the page everyone obsesses over but few get right.

    Your homepage has one job: make visitors understand what you do, who you help, and why they should care—in seconds. The average difference in how users treat content above vs. below the fold is 84%. You have precious little real estate. Don't waste it.

    The Value Proposition Test

    Here's a simple test: Can you swap your competitor's name into your headline and have it still make sense?

    If yes, your value proposition is too generic.

    "The all-in-one platform for modern teams"

    This could be literally any SaaS product. It says nothing. It converts no one.

    Better approach: [Pain point question] + [Outcome promise] + [Differentiator]

    "Are your enterprise leads going cold? Close deals 40% faster with the only CRM built for 6-month sales cycles."

    This tells me exactly who it's for, what problem it solves, and why it's different.

    The Dual CTA Strategy

    Most homepages have one CTA: Book a demo. Problem is, not everyone landing on your homepage is ready to book a demo.

    Some are just starting to research. Some stumbled across you from a blog post. Some are comparing options. If "Book a Demo" is their only option, they'll leave. You'll never see them again.

    Primary CTA

    Demo/Trial (for bottom-funnel visitors ready to buy)

    Secondary CTA

    Lead magnet (for mid-funnel visitors who need more info)

    Capture both. Nurture the ones who aren't ready. This isn't complicated, but most SaaS sites ignore it completely.

    Social Proof That Actually Works

    Everyone knows to add logos and testimonials. Few do it well. Three elements that matter:

    Recognizable customer logos

    If you work with known brands, show them. If you don't, show quantity ("Trusted by 2,400+ companies").

    Outcome-based testimonials

    "Great product, love the team!" means nothing. "Reduced our onboarding time from 3 weeks to 4 days" means everything.

    Trust badges

    SOC 2 compliance, security certifications, industry awards. These matter more than most realize, especially for enterprise buyers.

    Strategic Content Links

    Here's where most homepages miss an SEO opportunity.

    Homepage Linking Strategy

    Don't link to your "most recent" blog posts. Link to your best-performing ones—the ones that actually drive demos, signups, or engagement. Make sure those posts target different funnel stages.

    This serves visitors better AND passes link equity to your strongest content. Double win.

    What $10M+ ARR homepages look like:

    Slack$B+ Valuation
    Slack homepage with clear value proposition and dual CTAs

    "Where Work Happens" — Three words that own an entire category. Dual CTAs (Get Started + Find Your Plan), enterprise logos above the fold, and a product screenshot showing real value.

    Linear$400M+ Valuation
    Linear homepage with purpose-built messaging and dark aesthetic

    "Purpose-built tool for planning and building products" — Crystal clear positioning for product teams. Single CTA (Start building), dark aesthetic that matches developer taste, and immersive UI preview.

    Figma$20B Acquisition
    Figma homepage with dynamic visuals and enterprise logos

    "Think bigger. Build faster." — Outcome-focused headline. Enterprise logo bar (Slack, Stripe, Airbnb, Netflix), animated showcase of real work, and prominent free CTA.

    ListKitCreative Homepage + Offer
    ListKit homepage with ChatGPT-like conversational search interface

    This is what "show, don't tell" looks like.

    • Every other sales intelligence tool: Makes you sign up, sit through onboarding, and fumble with filters before you see a single contact.
    • ListKit flips that entirely: There's a ChatGPT-style search box right on the homepage. Type something like "CMOs at EdTech startups in the U.S." and you'll get 100 contacts free.

    No account. No credit card. No friction. You experience the product's value before you ever think about converting.

    See ListKit's homepage
    Section Takeaways
    • Value proposition must be specific to your ideal customer—not swappable with competitors
    • Use dual CTAs to capture both ready-to-buy and still-researching visitors
    • Social proof needs outcomes, not generic praise
    • Link to best-performing content, not most recent

    2) How It Works

    You are here in the architecture

    How It Works
    Feature PagesUse CasesIntegrations

    ↑ Click to view full architecture diagram

    This is where most SaaS companies leave money on the table. The "How It Works" section of your site should do more than explain your product—it should capture organic traffic from prospects actively looking for solutions.

    This section breaks into three strategic page types: Feature Pages, Use Case Pages, and Integration Pages. Each serves a different purpose in your SEO strategy and buyer journey.

    How It Works

    Navigation dropdown hub pointing to 3 page types

    Feature Pages

    "What specific things does it do?"

    • Rank for long-tail keywords
    • Backdoor entry strategy
    • Cross-sell other features
    Use Case Pages

    "How do people actually use it?"

    • Match outcome-focused searches
    • Shorten the sales cycle
    • Help prospects self-identify
    Integration Pages

    "What does it connect to?"

    • Capture "works with" traffic
    • Build trust transfer
    • Crush objections pre-sale
    Cross-link between all three — Each page type links to the others, building topical authority

    A look at ActiveCampaign's ($250M ARR) site architecture following this theme

    activecampaign.com/use-cases
    ActiveCampaign Use Cases dropdown menu showing their three-column architecture with features, industries, and audiences
    Click to expand

    ActiveCampaign's "Use Cases" dropdown — Three columns, three search intents: use cases for "how do I…" queries, industries for vertical-specific searches, and audiences for role-based keywords. Each item is a dedicated landing page—not an anchor scroll—maximizing keyword coverage across the site.

    Feature Pages: The Backdoor Strategy

    Here's the typical approach: Create a generic "Features" page, list everything the product does with bullet points and screenshots, call it a day.

    That's not a strategy. That's a brochure.

    The smarter play: Individual feature pages centered around your most popular features, each targeting specific, low-competition, long-tail keywords.

    The Backdoor Strategy

    Feature pages are your secret weapon. You're not trying to rank for "project management software" against Monday.com. You're ranking for specific feature keywords, getting prospects in the door for one thing they need right now, and then introducing them to the rest of your product once they're hooked.

    The Keyword Difficulty Play

    High-volume keywords look attractive in your SEO tool. "Project management software" has massive search volume. It's also nearly impossible to rank for unless you're Monday.com or Asana.

    But here's what those tools also show you: Long-tail, feature-specific keywords with lower difficulty that convert better anyway.

    Hard to Rank
    Feature Page Target

    "Social media management tool"

    KD 70+

    "Instagram hashtag generator"

    KD 25

    "Email marketing software"

    KD 80+

    "Email subject line A/B tester"

    KD 18

    "Project management software"

    KD 75+

    "Gantt chart maker for remote teams"

    KD 22

    "CRM software"

    KD 85+

    "Sales pipeline velocity calculator"

    KD 15

    The person searching "Instagram hashtag generator" has a specific problem they're trying to solve right now. They're not browsing. They're looking for a solution. That's high-intent traffic your competitors are ignoring.

    Once they land on your hashtag generator page and see it works, they start exploring. "Oh, they also have scheduling? And analytics? And a content calendar?" You've got them.

    Feature Page Structure That Converts

    Every feature page should follow this framework:

    The 5-Step Feature Page Framework:

    1
    State the feature.What is it? Keep it simple.
    2
    Pain point question.Why does someone need this? Frame it as a question they're asking.
    3
    Benefit without the con.What do they get, and what do they avoid?
    4
    Proof.A testimonial or mini case study specific to this feature.
    5
    Cross-sell."Love this feature? Here's what else you can do with [Product]."

    Use Case Pages: Show Your Product in Action

    Feature pages tell prospects what your product does. Use case pages show them how people actually use it.

    This is critical because buyers don't think in features—they think in outcomes. They're not searching for "automated workflow builder." They're searching for "how to automate client onboarding" or "reduce manual data entry."

    Why Use Cases Matter for SEO

    1

    They match how people actually search

    Prospects google problems, not product categories. "How to manage remote team communication" beats "team communication software."

    2

    They advance the buyer journey

    Someone on a use case page is already imagining themselves using your product. They're past "what does it do?" and into "would this work for me?"

    3

    They shorten sales cycles

    When a prospect sees exactly how your product solves their specific workflow, they arrive at the demo call pre-sold. Less convincing, faster close.

    Use Case Page Structure

    Essential Elements:

    • Problem headline — Lead with the pain, not the product
    • Before/After scenario — Paint the picture of life without vs. with your solution
    • Step-by-step walkthrough — Show exactly how it works for this use case
    • Results/metrics — "Teams save 10 hours/week on client reporting"
    • Social proof from this use case — Testimonials from users who solved this exact problem
    • CTA specific to the use case — "See how [Company] automates client onboarding"

    Pro Tip

    Create use case pages for your top 5-10 most common workflows. Ask your customer success team: "What are the top things customers do with our product in their first month?" Those are your use case pages.

    Integration Pages: Capture "Works With" Traffic

    Integration pages are the most underrated SEO opportunity in SaaS. Every integration you have is a keyword opportunity.

    Why? Because your prospects are already using other tools. They're searching for how those tools connect. "Slack Salesforce integration," "Zapier alternatives for [workflow]," "connect HubSpot to [your category]."

    Why Integration Pages Work

    1

    Built-in trust transfer

    When someone sees you integrate with tools they already trust (Salesforce, Slack, HubSpot), your credibility increases automatically.

    2

    High-intent traffic

    Someone searching "[Your tool] + Slack integration" is already considering buying. They're checking if you fit their stack.

    3

    Objection crusher

    "Will this work with my existing tools?" is a top buying objection. Integration pages answer it before they even ask.

    Integration Page Must-Haves:

    • • Partner logo prominently displayed (with permission)
    • • Specific use cases for the integration ("Sync Salesforce contacts to [Your Tool] automatically")
    • • Setup walkthrough or video
    • • Link to your integrations directory/marketplace
    • • CTA: "Connect [Tool] in 2 minutes"

    The Internal Linking Architecture

    Here's where SEO magic happens. Feature pages, use case pages, and integration pages shouldn't exist in isolation—they should link to each other.

    Internal Linking Framework
    [Feature Page]
    Use Case: [Persona/Workflow]
    Integration: [Partner Tool]
    Industry: [Vertical]
    Guide: [Related Listicle]
    Real Example: Social Media SaaS
    Instagram Hashtag Generator
    Use Case: Social Media Managers
    Integration: Connect to Later & Buffer
    Industry: E-commerce Brands
    Guide: Best Instagram Marketing Tools 2025

    Every feature page should link out to 4-6 related pages — this builds topical clusters that search engines reward with better rankings.

    This creates topical clusters. Search engines see these relationships and reward you with better rankings across the entire cluster. Every link serves a purpose. Every connection strengthens your topical authority. For more on how to build these links strategically, see our link building guide.

    Section Takeaways
    • Feature pages are your backdoor—rank for specific features, then introduce the full product
    • Target low-competition, long-tail keywords that convert better than broad terms
    • Use case pages show your product in action and match how buyers actually search
    • Integration pages capture high-intent traffic from prospects checking stack compatibility
    • Link all three page types together to build topical clusters and authority

    3) Who It's For

    You are here in the architecture

    Who It's For
    IndustriesPersonas

    ↑ Click to view full architecture diagram

    Here's a truth most SaaS marketers ignore: Your product solves the same core problem for different industries, but how you talk about it should be completely different.

    A CRM for healthcare providers has different compliance concerns than a CRM for e-commerce companies. A project management tool for agencies has different workflows than one for engineering teams.

    Same product. Different positioning. Different pages.

    Why Industry Pages Matter for SEO

    1

    Lower competition keywords

    "CRM software" is brutal. "CRM for healthcare providers" has real search volume with a fraction of the difficulty.

    2

    Unique content opportunity

    Even if your core product is identical, the content is genuinely different. Different pain points, different use cases, different testimonials.

    3

    Better conversion rates

    When a healthcare administrator lands on a page that speaks to HIPAA, patient management, and appointment scheduling—they convert at higher rates.

    Industry Page Structure

    Industry Page Essentials

    • Industry-specific headline (not generic)
    • Pain points unique to that vertical
    • How your features solve their specific problems
    • Industry-specific social proof and logos
    • Industry-specific CTA

    Persona Page Essentials

    • Role-specific headline
    • What they care about (daily pains)
    • Features that matter to their role
    • Testimonials from similar job titles
    • CTA matching their decision-making authority

    Industry vs. Persona: Both Matter

    Industry pages target verticals. Persona pages target roles. Why both? Because B2B purchases involve multiple stakeholders.

    The Operations Manager cares about workflow efficiency. The CFO cares about ROI. The IT Director cares about security. Create pages that speak to each.

    Industry Pages

    • Agencies
    • SaaS Companies
    • Construction
    • Healthcare

    Persona Pages

    • Project Managers
    • Operations Directors
    • Team Leads
    • C-Suite Decision Makers

    Case in point: TxtCart's industry pages

    txtcart.ai/industries
    TxtCart Industries dropdown showing dedicated landing pages for Fashion, Beauty, Food & Beverage, Pet Care, Health & Wellness, and more
    Industry Pages
    Click to expand

    TxtCart's "Industries" dropdown — Each vertical (Fashion, Beauty, Pet Care, etc.) gets a dedicated landing page with industry-specific messaging, testimonials, and use cases. Not just different headlines—entirely different narratives that speak to each industry's unique pain points.

    The Content Ecosystem Play

    Industry Page Internal Linking

    Project Management for Agencies
    How to Manage Client Projects Without Spreadsheets (Use Case)
    Agency Profitability Calculator (Resource)
    10 Ways Top Agencies Automate Client Reporting (Blog)

    You're creating a content ecosystem that captures traffic at multiple points and funnels it toward conversion. This is how you build sustainable organic growth.

    Section Takeaways
    • Same product, different positioning—speak directly to each vertical's world
    • Lower competition + higher relevance = better rankings AND conversion rates
    • Create both industry pages (verticals) and persona pages (roles)
    • Build content ecosystems that link industry pages to use cases, resources, and blogs

    4) Pricing

    You are here in the architecture

    Pricing
    Comparison TableFAQCalculator

    ↑ Click to view full architecture diagram

    I've seen so many SaaS companies hide their pricing "to not scare people off."

    Here's what actually happens: Prospects who can't figure out if they can afford you just leave and buy from a competitor who shows their pricing.

    Real Talk

    If someone is scared off by your pricing, they probably weren't a good fit anyway. You didn't lose a customer. You just found out faster.

    Pricing Page Essentials

    Structure & Content

    • Three-tier structure (Good/Better/Best)
    • Always include an Enterprise tier (even if just 'Contact Us')
    • Feature comparison table
    • FAQ section for objection handling
    • Competitor pricing comparison (if competitive)

    Why Enterprise Tier Matters

    • Some buyers can't take a $99/mo invoice to their boss
    • Signals you can handle serious business
    • Not having it = you're not ready for them
    • 'Contact Us' is fine—just show you're enterprise-capable

    The SEO Angle

    Pricing pages rank for high-intent searches:

    • "[Product category] pricing"
    • "[Competitor] pricing"
    • "[Competitor] vs [Your product] pricing"

    These searchers are deep in the buying process. They're comparing options. If your pricing page is well-optimized, you capture this traffic. If it doesn't exist or is hidden, you lose it.

    Pricing pages that convert (and rank):

    Linear4-Tier Structure
    Linear pricing page with four tiers including Enterprise

    Perfect tier structure: Free → Basic → Business → Enterprise. Visual hierarchy highlights the recommended plan. Enterprise tier shows "Contact us" (they're ready for big buyers). Feature comparison is scannable.

    StripeUsage-Based
    Stripe pricing page with transparent transaction fees

    "Pricing built for businesses of all sizes" — Transparent per-transaction pricing up front. Custom tier for enterprise with volume discounts. FAQ section below handles objections. The page ranks for "[payment processor] pricing."

    5) Why Us

    You are here in the architecture

    Why Us
    Origin StoryTeam

    ↑ Click to view full architecture diagram

    Most SaaS websites treat "About Us" as an afterthought. Generic mission statement, stock photos of a diverse team, maybe a timeline of funding rounds.

    This is a missed opportunity.

    Why These Pages Matter

    Differentiation

    Your story is the one thing that's genuinely unique. Competitors can copy features—they can't copy your journey.

    Brand Searches

    As you grow, people will search "[your company] story" or "who founded [company]." Give them something to find.

    Link Opportunities

    Origin stories get picked up by podcasts, industry publications, and blogs. They're natural link bait.

    Trust Building

    B2B buyers are entering a long-term relationship. They want to know who's behind it.

    Why Us Page Structure

    • What makes your approach different (philosophy, not features)
    • Your track record (customers, years, outcomes)
    • Team credibility (experience, expertise)
    • External validation (awards, press, recognition)

    Origin Story Structure

    • The problem that inspired the product
    • The founder's journey (how did you get here?)
    • Key milestones (growth, pivots, breakthroughs)
    • The mission going forward

    Case in point: Topanga's "Why Us" page

    topanga.io/about
    About PageWebflowLogistics
    Topanga About page showing mission statement, values, team journey and customer testimonials
    Mission + Values

    Topanga's about page — Hits all the marks: mission statement front and center, three value pillars (Innovation, Commitment, Integrity), origin story with a timeline, and a team section with real faces. Click to expand, or view full breakdown on SaaSpo.

    This humanizes your brand. It builds connection. And in a market where every SaaS website looks the same, connection is a competitive advantage.

    6) Blog

    You are here in the architecture

    Blog
    Topic ClustersInternal CTAs

    ↑ Click to view full architecture diagram

    Quick reality check: Your blog shouldn't be a dumping ground for whatever content you felt like creating that week.

    It should be a strategic asset organized into topical clusters that build authority and drive conversions.

    The Most Common Blog Mistake

    Stop Doing This

    Featuring "most recent" posts on your homepage and blog index. Your most recent post isn't necessarily your best post. You're giving premium real estate to content that might not convert at all.

    Better approach: Feature your highest-performing posts. The ones that actually drive demos, signups, or engagement. Let your winners keep winning.

    Blog Structure That Ranks

    Organize your blog into topical clusters. Each cluster has:

    Topical Cluster Structure

    Pillar Page

    "The Complete Guide to Sales Pipeline Management"

    Supporting Posts (link to and from pillar):

    • "How to Define Pipeline Stages That Actually Make Sense"
    • "5 Signs Your Sales Pipeline is Leaking Revenue"
    • "Pipeline Velocity: What It Is and Why It Matters"
    • "How to Forecast Revenue Using Your Pipeline Data"

    This creates semantic relationships that search engines reward with better rankings across the entire cluster.

    Blog Post Optimization Checklist

    • Minimal header/navigation (reduce distraction)
    • "Last updated" date (signals freshness)
    • Jump links in the sidebar for long posts
    • Internal links to product pages, use cases, and resources throughout
    • "What to do next" CTA at the end
    • Related posts to keep readers engaged

    Your blog isn't a standalone content channel. It's part of your conversion architecture. For the technical foundation that makes your blog crawlable and indexable, check out our SaaS Technical SEO guide.

    Here's where I see the biggest gap in most SaaS websites.

    Resources aren't just "content." They're strategic assets that capture traffic and nurture leads at specific stages of the buying journey. But most companies just throw random ebooks and webinars together without any strategy.

    Let me break down what resources you need for each stage and why.

    Stage 1

    Problem Unaware

    These people don't know they have a problem yet. Your job is to help them recognize it.

    Internal Linking Strategy for Resources

    Problem Unaware
    Problem Aware
    Solution Aware
    Demo / Trial

    Every piece of content should have a clear next step that moves the prospect closer to conversion.

    Section Takeaways
    • Resources should be mapped to specific buyer journey stages—not random content drops
    • Problem Unaware → Problem Aware → Solution Aware: each stage needs different asset types
    • All resources should link to the next logical step toward conversion
    • Solution Aware content (comparisons, ROI tools, case studies) should link directly to demo/trial

    Quick section here because these pages aren't traffic drivers. But they matter for user experience and trust signals.

    Support Page Essentials

    • Searchable knowledge base
    • FAQ organized by topic
    • Live chat or chatbot for immediate questions
    • Ticket submission form
    • Status page link (if relevant)

    Contact Page Essentials

    • Multiple contact methods (form, email, phone)
    • Expected response time ('We respond within 4 hours')
    • Links to self-service resources
    • Department-specific contacts for larger orgs
    • Physical address (builds trust for enterprise)

    Make it easy for people to find help. Frustrated users who can't find answers become churned customers.

    Intercom help center with search, categories, and AI-powered support

    Best-in-class support architecture: Prominent search bar front and center, quick start guides for common paths, and topic-based categories (Channels, Inbox, Workflows, Reports). Each category shows article count—signals comprehensiveness. AI-powered support (Fin AI Agent) reduces ticket volume. This isn't just support—it's content that ranks for "[product] how to" queries.

    Bottom Line

    Your SaaS website architecture isn't about looking professional. Every competitor looks professional. That's table stakes.

    It's about building a strategic asset that:

    • Captures organic traffic through smart keyword targeting
    • Nurtures prospects at every stage of their buying journey
    • Connects pages into topical clusters that build authority
    • Gets recommended in Reddit threads that AI models cite
    • Guides visitors toward demo or trial with clear paths

    Most SaaS websites are pretty brochures. Built by committee, designed for nobody in particular, converting at a fraction of their potential. Avoid the common SEO mistakes that tank your pipeline.

    Yours doesn't have to be. Build it with intention. Let the architecture do the work.
