Siege Media is one of the best content agencies in the world. Whether that's what you need depends on what role content plays in your growth model.

## The short answer

Siege Media vs PipeRocket comes up in almost every first call we take with Seed-to-Series-B founders. The honest answer depends on a number most founders don’t think about upfront: the stage of company you’re running.

### PipeRocket fit: Full SEO strategy + paid

If you’re Seed to early Series B needing full SEO strategy, technical, content, and paid, under one retainer with pipeline attribution, **PipeRocket is the stronger fit**. $5,000 per month floor, no 12-month lock-in required.

### Siege Media fit: High-volume content at enterprise scale

If you have an $8,000-plus per month content budget and need high-volume, enterprise-quality content from a team that has built organic moats for Zendesk and Instacart, **Siege Media** is the better call. The rest of this page is the why behind that.

## Team structure

Same four humans every week. The strategist is on every call. No junior pass-through, no account manager layer between you and the people doing the work.

### PipeRocket pod

*4 senior practitioners, dedicated to your account*

- **Account strategist** (8 yrs)
- **SEO lead** (7 yrs)
- **Paid media lead** (6 yrs)
- **Content strategist** (5 yrs)

### Siege Media team

*Editorial production model, scales with content volume*

- **Editorial strategist** (Senior)

## What we actually report on

### Most agency reports

- Impressions, 2.4M
- Clicks, 38,200
- Avg. position, 8.2
- CTR, 1.6%
- Sessions, 22,400
- Bounce rate, 62%

### PipeRocket report

- MQLs, 142 (+18 vs prior mo)
- SQLs, 38 (+9)
- Pipeline ($)-$412K (+$96K)
- Blended CAC, $1,180 (−$220)
- CAC payback-9.4 mo (−1.3 mo)
- Cost per SQL, $840 (−$160)

“Outcome-based reporting” is a phrase every agency uses. The difference matters because the second report can defend a marketing budget in a board meeting. The first cannot.
