What are the main challenges startups face after funding?
Even with a strong product, your startup may struggle if your growth engine relies too much on paid spend. Here’s what’s usually happening:
Even after funding, leads don’t increase:Startups invest in websites, content, and campaigns, but without clear positioning and buyer-intent SEO, they target broad keywords and attract unqualified traffic. Weak on-page SEO keeps them invisible in search when buyers are actively looking.
-
Paid ads waste money without results:
Ads can increase traffic quickly, but most clicks don’t convert. CAC rises, lead quality stays inconsistent, and growth becomes expensive, especially without a strong organic engine to compound demand.
-
Traffic comes, but it doesn’t convert into leads:
Even when rankings improve, the pipeline doesn’t. Without structured pillar pages, topic clusters, and use-case content tied to the product, buyers don’t get clarity or trust, so conversion rates stay low.
-
Agencies are slow and don’t offer proper on-page SEO:
Traditional agencies publish infrequently, deliver generic content, and miss SEO depth. Startups keep paying high retainers while results stay flat, because execution isn’t integrated across strategy, SEO, content, and authority building.
