BabyLoveGrowth review: SEO specialist, SEO content writer and SEO audit in one?
BabyLoveGrowth promises an affordable AI SEO tool for your search engine optimisation, at a price a traditional SEO agency simply can't compete with. But does a BabyLoveGrowth subscription really mean you no longer need to pay a marketing agency or another SEO company for an SEO audit, SEO advice or an SEO content writer?

Disclosure: BabyLoveGrowth invited me to write this review. Geekie receives a commission through the links to BabyLoveGrowth in this article. That does not affect my verdict.

BabyLoveGrowth invited me, as an IT specialist, to put the tool through its paces. My name is Joep de Kok and I own Geekie Creative & IT, where I help small and medium-sized businesses with websites, search visibility, reach and automation. In this BabyLoveGrowth review I share my experience with the tool: what it does, what it costs next to Semrush, Ahrefs and an SEO specialist, and who it is and isn't suitable for.
Want to try it yourself? For testing BabyLoveGrowth, I was given a discount code that gets you 20% off a subscription: GROW20.
What is BabyLoveGrowth and how did it start?
BabyLoveGrowth is an AI SEO tool that automates much of the hands-on work of an SEO agency. The name sounds more like baby food than search engine optimisation, but the promise is a serious one: according to its homepage, it gets you recommended by Google and ChatGPT without hiring an SEO agency.
It's a young company. According to its LinkedIn company page, BabyLoveGrowth was founded in 2025, has its head office in San Rafael, California, and a team of 2 to 10 people. Its co-founder is Tilen Savnik. The company behind the tool is called BLG Inc. BabyLoveGrowth now says it has more than 5,000 businesses as customers and a network of more than 4,000 websites for backlinks. Those are the company's own figures, which I couldn't verify independently.
Like a growing number of SEO tools, BabyLoveGrowth targets not only Google but also AI search engines such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity. That's called GEO, generative engine optimisation. You can read exactly what that means in my explainer on AI visibility and GEO (in Dutch). The real difference from the well-known SEO tools lies elsewhere, though: BabyLoveGrowth also does the work.
What does BabyLoveGrowth do? The features in brief
BabyLoveGrowth works as a single system: you enter your website's address, and the tool works out where the opportunities are, writes the content, publishes it and keeps track of the results. Below are the seven components, with images of the dashboard from the official demo.
- 01
Keywords
Google and AI prompts
- 02
SEO content
30 articles a month
- 03
Auto-publishing
WordPress, Shopify and more
- 04
Backlinks
Via link exchange with other sites
- 05
SEO audit
Technical site audit
- 06
Reddit & Instagram
Your brand in conversations
- 07
AI visibility
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini
1. Keyword research and competitor analysis
The tool starts with keyword research: what do your customers search for in Google, and what questions do they ask ChatGPT? Those AI questions are called prompts. BabyLoveGrowth puts keywords and their search volume next to those prompts, groups them by topic and checks which competitors already rank for them. According to BabyLoveGrowth, work that would otherwise keep an SEO specialist busy for hours in Google Keyword Planner and Semrush is ready here within a few minutes.

Based on that research, BabyLoveGrowth draws up a 30-day content plan and writes the articles: 30 a month on the Grow plan. Every article gets internal links, an FAQ, structured data (JSON-LD), images and a quality score from 0 to 100. The tool writes in more than 50 languages, Dutch included, and adapts the writing style to your brand. That way it takes over much of the writing an SEO content writer would do; the proofreading is still down to you.
(opens the full-size screenshot)3. Automatic publishing on your website
Once an article is ready, the tool puts it live by itself on WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix or another system. According to the pricing page, BabyLoveGrowth connects to WordPress, Shopify and eight other platforms. Handy, but also the point where you need to pay attention, because whatever goes online automatically hasn't been read by anyone. More on that under my experience. If you use WordPress, also read what WordPress maintenance involves (in Dutch).
4. Backlinks through the exchange network
Backlinks, links from other websites to yours, are still important for your position in Google. Link building is normally time-consuming manual work. BabyLoveGrowth solves that with an exchange network: members place links to each other in their articles, within the same industry and, according to BabyLoveGrowth, never in footers or link pages. In the dashboard you see your Domain Rating (an Ahrefs score for the strength of your domain), how many links you receive and how many you give. You switch the exchange on or off yourself.
(opens the full-size screenshot)My caveat on the backlinks
Google's spam policies (updated on 28 August 2026) explicitly list ‘excessive link exchanges’ and ‘using automated programs or services to create links to your site’ as link spam. An exchange network sails close to that line. My view: relevant links in real articles are a different thing from a link farm, but the judgement lies with Google. So don't switch the exchange on blindly, and check which sites link to you.
5. The SEO audit: a technical site audit
The site audit is BabyLoveGrowth's SEO audit. The tool checks your website for loading speed, missing meta tags, structured data and files such as sitemap.xml, robots.txt and llms.txt. You get separate scores for page speed, technical SEO and LLM optimisation, meaning how well AI search engines can read your site. For each page you see the issues found. For a quick first SEO check of your website, you can also use our free website check (in Dutch).
(opens the full-size screenshot)6. Reddit, Quora and Instagram
AI search engines learn a lot from what people say on forums and social media. So BabyLoveGrowth looks for conversations on Reddit and Quora where your brand fits in, and suggests a reply. You post it yourself: you copy the text, open the conversation and tick it off. The tool also turns every article into a carousel for Instagram and Facebook: weekly on Grow, daily on Scale. That way you also work on your Instagram SEO, without having to design posts yourself.

(opens the full-size screenshot)7. AI visibility: does ChatGPT recommend you?
Finally, BabyLoveGrowth checks every day whether AI models mention your business when buyers ask questions. On Grow that's 10 prompts, on Scale 50, across ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. You can also connect Google Analytics and Google Search Console, so you can see what it all delivers. Want to know whether AI tools already recommend you, without taking out a subscription? BabyLoveGrowth has a free GEO audit.

BabyLoveGrowth compared with Semrush, Ahrefs, Surfer and an SEO specialist
If you're looking at BabyLoveGrowth as a Semrush alternative, the big difference is who does the work. Semrush and Ahrefs are among the best-known and best SEO tools for analysis: keyword research, competitors, backlinks and technical SEO. But they tell you what needs doing; the writing, publishing and link building are up to you. Surfer is strong at writing and optimising SEO content. BabyLoveGrowth tries to combine all those roles and also does the work.
Hiring an SEO specialist is something else again: there you pay for knowledge, decisions and accountability. That is exactly the part a tool doesn't take over.
| Feature | BabyLoveGrowth | Semrush | Ahrefs | Surfer | SEO specialist |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Keyword research | Yes, automatic and grouped by topic | Yes, very extensive | Yes, very extensive | Yes, focused on content | Yes, with knowledge of your market |
| SEO writing | Yes, 30 articles a month included | With separate AI tools | With a separate add-on | Yes, that is Surfer's core | Yes, or through an SEO content writer |
| Automatic publishing | Yes, WordPress, Shopify, Webflow and more | No | No | No | No, done by hand |
| Building backlinks | Yes, through an exchange network | Analysis, no building | Analysis, no building | No | Yes, link building done by hand |
| Technical SEO audit | Yes, site audit with scores | Yes, extensive Site Audit | Yes, extensive Site Audit | Content per page only | Yes, plus the implementation |
| Measuring AI visibility | Yes, 10 prompts a day (Grow) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Depends on the specialist |
| Reddit, Quora and Instagram | Yes, suggestions and carousels | No | No | No | Sometimes, as an extra service |
| Tailored strategy and SEO advice | Limited, one-to-one specialist on Scale only | No, you interpret it yourself | No, you interpret it yourself | No | Yes, that is the core |
Based on the providers' pricing pages, checked on 3 November 2026. The assessment of what an SEO specialist does is my own.
How much does BabyLoveGrowth cost? Pricing compared with Semrush and Ahrefs
BabyLoveGrowth has two plans. Grow costs €59 per month billed annually and €99 per month billed monthly. Scale, for small and medium-sized businesses that want to scale up, costs €199 per month billed annually and €399 per month billed monthly. If you manage several websites, you automatically get a 10% volume discount from 2 sites and 20% from 15 sites, which is interesting for agencies.
(opens the full-size screenshot)Free trial and money-back guarantee
You can try BabyLoveGrowth free for 3 days. There is also a 90-day money-back guarantee, but read the conditions. According to the terms and conditions, it only applies if you have paid for 3 consecutive months, published all the articles and they are publicly visible. If at least one of the figures for organic clicks, impressions or Domain Rating goes up during those 90 days, the guarantee no longer applies. Outside that guarantee, BabyLoveGrowth only refunds money after the trial period in exceptional cases, such as an error in the service.
What does outsourcing SEO cost by comparison?
Software is cheaper than a specialist, but the comparison only stands up once you look at what you get for your money. Semrush starts at €134 per month (€112.52 billed annually) and Ahrefs at €119 per month. According to an estimate by Dutch SEO agency Searchlab (in Dutch), a freelance SEO specialist costs €500 to €2,500 per month, and an SEO agency for small businesses €1,500 to €3,500.

My experience with BabyLoveGrowth
BabyLoveGrowth is definitely a strong tool. There is a surprising amount in one subscription: from keyword research and SEO writing to a technical SEO audit, backlinks and AI visibility tracking. And on price it's very kind to small business owners: €59 to €99 a month wouldn't even buy you two hours of an SEO specialist's time.
Still, a platform like this needs quite a lot of steering. ‘On autopilot’ sounds as if you can sit back and relax, but the tool doesn't know your business, your customers or your margins. So it's a very strong AI SEO tool, both for the SEO specialist and for the business owner who wants to roll up their sleeves. If you're not an SEO professional yourself, you'll still need an SEO specialist to get the execution right. That costs a lot less, though, because the software already shows you much of what would otherwise keep a specialist busy for hours.
My first impression: a calm onboarding
I tested BabyLoveGrowth with a test account for geekie.nl. The onboarding feels pleasant and is far less overwhelming than that of competitors. You enter your website address, and while you watch a short welcome video, BabyLoveGrowth builds your SEO strategy in the background in seven steps: from keyword research and a scan of your brand to a 30-day content plan. The dashboard estimated about twenty minutes for me, and that's how it went.
(opens the full-size screenshot)I was pleasantly surprised that my own site, which is built in Next.js, can be connected too. BabyLoveGrowth recognised this by itself and offered a Next.js connection straight away, so the posts can later be integrated into the site itself. So not just for WordPress or Shopify, but also for a custom-built website like mine.
(opens the full-size screenshot)I notice the layout is calmer than I'm used to from SEO tools. Instead of a wall of charts, you see in plain language what the ‘agents’ did for you today: in my case, they wrote a new article, signed my site up for the backlink exchange and found 40 questions on Quora to answer. That probably makes BabyLoveGrowth easier to use for less experienced users.
(opens the full-size screenshot)Straight after the onboarding, a content calendar for geekie.nl was ready: 2 articles written and 29 in the queue, with topics such as ‘Shopify-webshop laten maken’ (building a Shopify store) and ‘Klantportaal laten maken’ (building a customer portal). They fit what I sell. Still, this is exactly the moment to steer, because not every topic in the queue will bring in customers.
(opens the full-size screenshot)Where you need to steer it yourself
Choosing the right keywords. The tool looks at search volume and opportunities, not at what you sell. A keyword with lots of volume doesn't automatically bring in customers. Take topics that don't fit your services out of the content plan.
Proofreading content before it goes live. Automatic publishing is handy, but a mistake or an incorrect claim then goes straight onto your site. In its guidance on AI-generated content, Google asks for accuracy and value for the reader, and warns against producing pages at scale without that value. Add what only you know: experience, examples and prices.
Prioritising the SEO audit properly. A score like the 59 for technical SEO in the demo doesn't tell you what to fix first. Knowing which problem actually costs you customers takes knowledge of your website.
Using backlinks and Reddit replies deliberately. Check which sites link to you, and only post a suggested Reddit reply if it genuinely adds something to the conversation. Otherwise it's more likely to work against your brand.
Who is BabyLoveGrowth for?
A good fit for
- SEO specialists and agencies that want to speed up the hands-on work
- Business owners with some SEO knowledge who want to steer it themselves
- Online shops and service providers that need content on a regular basis
- Businesses that also want to be mentioned in AI answers
Less of a fit for
- Anyone who expects SEO to run entirely by itself
- Anyone without the time to proofread content
- Sites in a sensitive industry where every claim has to be right
- Anyone who wants to take no risk at all with link exchanges
My verdict
Do you still need to hire an SEO specialist, an SEO content writer or an SEO audit once you have BabyLoveGrowth? For part of the hands-on work, less than you used to: the tool takes over a lot of the writing, publishing and analysis. But SEO is more than producing content. Which keywords actually bring you customers, the technical SEO of your website, proofreading what the tool publishes and weighing up risks such as link exchanges all remain human work. Without that steering you mainly get a lot of content, and not automatically more customers.
My advice: use BabyLoveGrowth as the engine and put someone with SEO knowledge in the driving seat. That can be you, if you have the time and the knowledge. If you don't, an SEO specialist who takes care of the strategy, the technical side and the checks is still the best investment. Just for fewer hours than a full SEO project with a marketing agency, so you still keep most of your money in your pocket.

Frequently asked questions about BabyLoveGrowth
What is BabyLoveGrowth?+
BabyLoveGrowth is an AI SEO tool from San Rafael, California, founded in 2025. The platform does keyword research, writes SEO articles, publishes them automatically on your website, builds backlinks through an exchange network, runs a technical SEO audit and measures whether ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini recommend your business.
How much does BabyLoveGrowth cost per month?+
The Grow plan costs €59 per month billed annually and €99 per month billed monthly. Scale costs €199 per month billed annually and €399 per month billed monthly. You can try it free for 3 days first. Prices in euros as shown for the Netherlands, checked on 3 November 2026.
Do you still need an SEO specialist if you use BabyLoveGrowth?+
If you are not an SEO professional yourself, yes. BabyLoveGrowth does a lot of the hands-on work, but the tool needs steering: choosing the right keywords, checking the content and prioritising the findings of the SEO audit properly. Because the software already makes so much visible, an SEO specialist needs far fewer hours for it.
Can BabyLoveGrowth write SEO content in Dutch as well?+
Yes. BabyLoveGrowth writes in more than 50 languages, Dutch included. Do read every text before it goes live, though: for content created with AI, Google asks for extra attention to accuracy and value for the reader.
Is BabyLoveGrowth's backlink exchange safe?+
There is a risk. Google's spam policies name excessive link exchanges and links created with automated services as link spam. According to BabyLoveGrowth, the links appear in articles within the same industry, but whether that is enough is for Google to judge, not the tool. So use the exchange deliberately and keep an eye on your backlinks.
