Looking to grow your SaaS business?
There’s a lot of challenges to overcome:
- Setting up and optimizing your user onboarding
- Ensuring that your landing pages accurately reflect (and sell) your SaaS product
- Experimenting with multiple marketing channels, and scaling the ones that get you results
And unless you have years of experience in SaaS marketing, doing this alone won’t be easy.
To help you find the right help, we compiled a list of 11 best SaaS consultants in the industry!
But first, let’s start with the basics...
What’s a SaaS Consultant?
A SaaS consultant is an expert in both Software as a Service and growth marketing.
The right SaaS consultant should be able to help you with every step of your growth process, including…
- Setting up customer onboarding
- A/B testing landing pages
- Experimenting with marketing channels
...and more.
Most SaaS founders are first-time business owners, so having someone experienced on your side can really give you the boost you need.

Hiring a SaaS consultant isn’t the easiest of tasks.
See, most digital marketing professionals, even the ones who’ve gotten amazing results for conventional companies, aren’t all that good at growing SaaS businesses.
You need someone with a very specific skill-set, someone that speaks both marketing AND software, and those are a bit hard to come by.
Which is why we compiled this list of some of the best SaaS consultants in the industry, starting with:

SaaS Consultant FAQ
#1. What Does a SaaS Consultant Do?
SaaS consultants can help you with all sorts of things.
Depending on the consultant, they can either help with SaaS marketing:
- Generate traffic
- Get rankings on Google
- Run ROI-positive online ads
Or with the product:
- Helping you find product-market fit
- Increase free-to-paid trial conversions
- Pick the best pricing model for your business
Or, in some cases, they can help with both.
#2. How Can I Pick The Right SaaS Consultant?
We recommend going with a SaaS consultant that has experience in or specializes in what you need help with.
If you already have a working business model, for example, you’d need someone with experience in SaaS marketing.
If you’re still trying to get the product to work, on the other hand, you should find a SaaS consultant with a lot of product management experience.
As a rule of thumb, in both cases, it helps to hire someone that has past experience in your industry.
#3. SaaS Marketer VS SaaS Consultant - What’s The Difference?
While a SaaS consultant and a SaaS marketer are not exactly the same thing, a person that does one usually also does the other.
A SaaS consultant focuses more on the product side of things, helping you perfect your SaaS product.
A SaaS marketer, on the other hand, specializes in growth marketing, helping you drive new traffic and convert them to users.
