"UK SEO Market Report: Software"

Search insight for growth-focused software businesses

The software/SaaS sector is one of the most competitive search environments in the UK. With tens of thousands of providers, high marketing spend, and increasingly complex buying journeys, achieving impactful visibility is strategic. It is about understanding how people actually search, compare, evaluate and commit.

This UK SEO Market Report provides a data-led view of how search works within the software and SaaS industry, and where genuine opportunities still exist for growth.

Built using large-scale ranking intelligence and informed by hands-on experience working with software and SaaS businesses, this report breaks down the realities of software search behaviour.

It looks beyond surface-level keyword volumes to examine competition, modifiers, intent and how SEO supports each stage of the purchase process.

Inside the report, you will gain insight into:

• The true size and competitiveness of the UK software search market
• How intent differs between pre-purchase, comparison and post-purchase searches
• Why broad commercial terms often underperform in software SEO
• How modifiers such as “free”, “best”, location and hardware change difficulty and opportunity
• Where lower-competition search demand exists within crowded categories
• How informational content supports complex software buying decisions
• Why post-purchase searches matter for retention as well as acquisition

The report is designed for founders, marketing leaders and growth teams within software and SaaS businesses who need clarity on where SEO investment delivers the greatest return. It is equally valuable for teams reassessing strategy, entering new categories, or trying to compete more effectively against larger, better-funded rivals.

If your software product operates in a crowded market, this report will help you understand how search demand is structured, where competitors are vulnerable, and how SEO can support both acquisition and long-term growth.
