What are the biggest challenges San Francisco startups face in 2026?
Low traffic leads to stagnant growth:Without a strong SEO foundation, startups remain invisible to high-intent buyers. As the traffic plateaued, the growth also remained stagnant.
Overdependence on Paid Ads:Relying heavily on ads drains budgets without building long-term growth. The moment startups stop spending, the traffic disappears.
Slow, outdated SEO execution:Traditional SEO approaches are slow and rely on outdated tactics, causing startups to lose momentum in fast-moving, competitive markets.
Fragmented marketing efforts:Managing multiple agencies and tools leads to inconsistent messaging, wasted resources, and poor execution velocity.
High agency costs with unclear ROI:Conventional agencies are expensive and often deliver activity rather than outcomes, making SEO feel risky and unpredictable.
