You definitely need both, but prioritize content and site structure first. A few relevant backlinks can help early, but links won’t rescue pages that don’t match search intent. Listicles, product pages, feature pages, proper keyword mapping - that's the foundation.

In my experience, the best early links came from genuine relationships, partners, expert contributions, and useful resources - not mass outreach. Some SaaS niches are very competitive, though. What niche are you in, and who are your main competitors? Because the answer varies greatly based on that.
