SEO and AI search for HR tech

HR software is one of the most crowded categories in SaaS search. The broad topics, onboarding, performance reviews, employee engagement, are covered by every vendor and every publisher.

HR buyers do not search only for software categories. They search for the country they operate in, the system they already use, the policy they need to write and the size of team they support. Each of those is a page.

What buyers search

HR tech
  1. Country and state pages

    Specific, checkable and far less contested than the general term.

  2. Templates and policies

    What an HR manager searches for on the day they need it.

    remote work policy template
  3. Role and company-size pages

    Buyers filter by headcount before anything else.

    HR software for startups
  4. Payroll and HRIS integration pages

    A point solution has to fit the system of record.

What gets in the way

Where it usually goes wrong

Everyone wrote the same guide

Another general article on employee onboarding competes with hundreds of established ones.

Rules differ by country and change

Leave, notice and payroll rules vary by jurisdiction and are revised often, so generic pages are wrong for most readers.

Traffic that is not buyers

Template and definition searches bring employees and students as well as HR leads. Volume alone says little.

Inside HR tech

HR tech is four markets, and each searches differently

Example searches, to show the kind of page each one calls for. Yours come from your own data.

Payroll and employer of record

Buyers compare on country coverage and cost per employee. A page per country, each with the rules that apply, is the core of the roadmap.

  • employer of record Germany cost
  • Deel alternatives

Recruiting and ATS

Hiring managers search for the document they need today. Templates bring them in, and comparison pages are read before a demo.

  • applicant tracking system for small business
  • Greenhouse vs Lever

HRIS and core HR

Buyers filter by headcount first. Pages for each company size and each system you connect to do most of the work.

  • HRIS for 100 employees
  • BambooHR alternatives

Performance and engagement

High search volume, much of it from people who will never buy. Where sign-up data is connected, we see which templates bring buyers and write more of those.

  • 360 review template
  • employee engagement survey questions

One hub, a page for every country

Leave, notice and payroll rules differ by country, so each country gets its own researched page, linked from one hub. The cluster fills in as pages clear review.

How it runs

From an opening to a published page

Every opening is recorded with what kind it is, the evidence behind it, a recommended action and an estimate of the clicks at stake, which sets its rank.

Find the searches made before a demo

In HR tech the openings are rarely the head terms. They are a country's rules, a template, a headcount, an integration: narrow searches where a page can still win.

Every empty square is a narrow search with no page. Green is live, amber is ranking on page two.

Sourced, dated and reviewed

A page that states a rule says where it comes from and when it was checked. Each country is researched from its own sources, not adapted from another country's page. A person reviews every page before it ships.

Parental leave in Germany: what employers must provide

Source: the statute, linkedLast checked: dated

This page is information, not legal advice.

A page per country, tracked after it ships

Country and template pages ship as clusters from one brief, and each is tracked in Search Console. Where you connect sign-up or CRM data, pages are compared on the leads they bring: a template that brings ten HR leads is worth more than a definition that brings ten thousand students.

Two ways to judge a page

Where data is connected
  • What is HR? (definition)

    VisitsLeads
  • Parental leave in Germany

  • PIP template

    VisitsLeads

A drawing of the idea, not data. Leads show only where you connect sign-up or CRM data.

Frequently asked questions

We source and date every rule a page states, and put those pages back on the roadmap for review. It is content about the law, not legal advice, and pages say so.

For the broad terms, often not at first. For the long tail of countries, roles, documents and integrations, usually yes, and those pages add up.

Some do and some do not. Every page is tracked in Search Console. Where you connect sign-up or CRM data, we can also see which ones lead to sign-ups or demo requests, and put effort where they do.
