How Teqtivity Grew

IT asset management SaaS for efficient organizations

How did Teqtivity grow?

Summary of the sourced claims below

Teqtivity's growth primarily comes from SEO and word of mouth referrals, with 90% of growth attributed to these channels and zero cold outreach. They also run some LinkedIn ads and Google Ads, focusing on lower-cost, long-tail keywords to drive traffic and generate leads, but these paid efforts are smaller compared to SEO. Additionally, Teqtivity has had some success with PR efforts to gain media placements and participates in niche conferences and events to attract prospects.
