Startup SEO

Based in Milan, Startup SEO is a small consultancy operating under Crescere Digitale (Instilla) that focuses specifically on early-stage companies. Rather than serving a broad client base across industries, the agency addresses the particular needs of startups looking to identify and reach a target audience, whether they are bootstrapping or preparing to approach investors. The team size is small (1-10), consistent with a specialized, founder-facing service rather than a large-scale agency operation. The core offering is the "SEO Starter Kit," a structured service combining analysis and training rather than ongoing campaign management. It consists of a written SEO audit of the client's website, covering search engine indexing issues, and a video-conference lesson of approximately two hours dedicated to explaining the critical issues found in that audit. To begin the process, clients submit their website domain, a description of their business model, a list of relevant competitors, and any other notes useful for the analysis; the agency then follows up by email to schedule the video session. This format positions the service as a one-off diagnostic and coaching package rather than continuous SEO execution, aligning with the "formazione e consulenza" (training and consulting) model described for startups needing to understand SEO fundamentals and set up an initial strategy for organic visitor acquisition.
