About Partners SEO

SEO that understands what you sell

Most SEO work stalls on technology sites for two reasons: search engines struggle to read the site, and the content does not match how buyers research. Our experience runs through the Microsoft partner world and across ERP, CRM, cloud, and BI companies, so you will not spend the first month explaining what you sell.

  • Technology sector experience, not a generic playbook.
  • Search and AI visibility handled together.
  • A clear roadmap you can hand to your team.
  • Reporting you can actually read.

Why SEO Stalls

The problem is rarely the product

The teams we work with are rarely confused about what to do. They are stretched. SEO sits across marketing, content, and development, so it moves in bursts and stalls in between. The work that compounds is the work that keeps getting pushed.

No one owns SEO

It crosses everyone, so it gets picked up whenever someone has room. Every restart begins from scratch.

Expertise stays internal

The people who could write the definitive page are booked on whatever is due this week.

Fixes keep waiting

Technical issues compete with the editorial calendar and lose, while rankings drift.

Built for your team

We work alongside in-house marketers, writers, and developers rather than replacing them.

Meet Mubashar Shahzad

Partners SEO was founded by Mubashar Shahzad, who has worked in SEO and digital marketing for more than a decade, most of it around technology companies rather than general business clients.

Before starting Partners SEO, he was at AlphaBOLD, a Microsoft and NetSuite partner. That matters more than it might sound. He learned this industry from inside a partner organization, not as an outside vendor trying to decode it. Since 2020 he has led Partners SEO, working with companies across ERP, CRM, cloud, AI, and business intelligence.

Our work covers both halves of SEO. Site health, crawlability, and search intent on one side. Competitive research, content outlines, and topic planning on the other. That now extends to AI search, where buyers get an answer without ever seeing a results page. Clients tend to describe us as a strong addition to a marketing team rather than a replacement for one.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Short answers to the things people usually ask before getting in touch.

Industry familiarity, mostly. Our experience runs through technology companies, including time inside a Microsoft and NetSuite partner. That means less time explaining what your product does and more time on the work. It also means keyword and content decisions get tied to your actual products and markets rather than whatever has the highest search volume.
Buyers increasingly start there rather than on a results page, and it changes what gets surfaced. Assistants pull from pages they can parse and information they can corroborate, so clean structure, direct answers, and consistency about who you are and what you do matter more than they used to. Most of the work overlaps with good SEO. The shift in emphasis is writing pages that answer a question outright instead of pages built to rank for a phrase.
SEO is slow, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. Early signals like improved site health and movement on specific terms usually show up first. Meaningful traffic change takes longer, and a real shift in inquiries longer still. Timelines depend heavily on your starting point, which is something we can talk through on a call.
Yes, and that is often the best setup. We provide the SEO direction and content planning while your team handles execution. For clients without those resources in house, we can take on more of the implementation. Either way the goal is to make what you already have work better.
Regular reporting that shows what changed and why it matters. Site health first, then visibility on the terms you care about, then what is actually generating inquiries. No 40 page PDF full of charts nobody reads.
It starts with a review of your site, your content, and where you currently stand against competitors. From there you get a prioritized plan that separates the fixes from the growth work. Implementation can sit with your team, with us, or split between the two.
Engagements start at $2,000 per month. What that includes depends on the size of your site, the state of it, and how much of the work you want handled versus directed. Get in touch for a breakdown.
No. The deepest experience is in technology, which is where the industry knowledge pays off most. But the underlying work applies to plenty of other B2B companies with long sales cycles and something complicated to explain. If you are unsure whether it is a fit, ask.
By paying attention, and by not building strategies that depend on loopholes. The fundamentals hold up across updates: a site search engines can read, content that answers real questions, and pages people find useful. Tactics that survive only until the next update are not worth doing.
Yes. Technology companies often sell across several regions, which brings its own set of problems: site structure, language targeting, and search behavior that varies by market. This is familiar territory.
Then you stop. No long lock in. You keep the audits, the recommendations, and the content plans, so your team or another agency can pick up where things left off.
