The roast
Ryan claims to have built a "cohesive demand gen system," yet he’s posting 25 times a month to an audience where 99.8% of them are actively ignoring him. He’s the only CEO in the world who manages to spend a full week’s work on marketing just to move the needle for absolutely nobody.
About Ryan
I quit my job as a Head of Marketing because tech companies kept spending on marketing that didn't drive revenue. Siloed tactics. No demand gen strategy. No system. So I built Rocket SaaS around a single idea: a cohesive B2B SaaS demand gen playbook that brings content, paid ads, SEO, AEO, and CRO together under one strategy, tightly aligned with sales. Not a collection of tactics. A revenue-focused system. It worked. We bootstrapped from $0 to $7,000,000 ARR in 5 years, work with over 75 B2B SaaS companies, and are now one of the fastest-growing marketing agencies in the world. I also host SaaS Marketing Weekly, the world's #1 SaaS marketing podcast, where I share what's actually working in SaaS demand gen right now, sharing actionable strategies and advice. If you're a SaaS founder or marketing leader tired of marketing that doesn't move the revenue needle, let's talk. DM me or book a free strategy call at rocket-saas.io

How do you get ranked in AI Search? First, you need to understand where LLMs fit in the buyer journey. 95% of B2B buyers now use them during the buying process. And the average LLM query is around 6x longer than a traditional Google search. That’s because people aren’t just searching: “Best HR software” They’re explaining their situation, exploring the problem and trying to understand what they actually need. All before they’re ready to speak to a vendor. So your website can’t only cater to buyers who already know they want your product. Your content needs to answer the detailed, prob

The #1 reason you’re struggling to get leads from AI search is unclear messaging. Clear messaging has always been the keystone to great marketing results. But with buyers moving their search to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc, it matters even more. If your website is full of buzzwords, vague claims and broad statements, LLMs will struggle to understand: 🔹 Who you help 🔹 What you do 🔹 What makes you different 🔹 Which problems you solve And if an LLM can’t clearly understand your business, it's not going to include you in its answers. That means less visibility. Less traffic. And more

Why most brands say, "LinkedIn Ads doesn't work for us" ⬇️ LinkedIn Ads won’t work without great content. Great content won’t happen without a clear content strategy. A content strategy won’t work without genuine insight from your internal experts. And your experts won’t get involved unless they understand why their input matters. This is where most LinkedIn strategies fall apart. The problem is rarely the ad platform. It's usually everything that needs to happen before the ads are launched. You need: ✅ A clear point of view ✅ Built around what your audience actually cares about ✅ Lea
