    I'd love to start to sink my teeth into SEO and how to best rank for certain key words. I've done research and my wife has an SEO team but I am curious if anyone has any niche resources as they directly relate to Software / Marketing / SaaS etc?

    start with the base: keywords from google trends and yandex wordstat, google console and yandex webmaster will tell you what queries come to you, yoastseo plugin for blog. Semrash, Ahref and other tools are not the base, this is when you already understand that in front of you for SaaS)

    Make a list of your high intent keywords. Look at Google tools for this. From these, the ones with the highest search volume and lowest competition are the ones to go after first. Also look at what your competition is doing.

    In addition to what others have suggested, always look into your competitors. If they are already established, it means market is there. Look into their social posts, hashtags they use, look them up on google and check their serp wordings and ads.
