Summary

1. Understanding FinMitr’s ICPs and Their Search Behavior

Our ICPs (Ideal Customer Profiles):

• First Jobbers (22–26 years) earning ₹15K–35K
• Financially Anxious Urban Professionals (25–30 years) earning ₹40K–80K

Common thoughts these ICPs have:

• “How do I budget my first salary?”
• “Where did all my money go this month?”
• “Best apps to track daily expenses”
• “How to save for future goals?”

Search behavior is emotional + solution-driven:

They seek simple, trustworthy, action-driven content — not complex financial jargon.

✨ 2. Keyword Research (Using SEO Tools)

Primary ICP Search Themes:

• Google Autocomplete
• Moz Free Keyword Explorer
• Ahrefs (free plan data)
• Appradaar (new search intelligence tool)
• YouTube search suggestions

3. Identifying SEO Gaps

Current Observations:

• Major finance apps rank for heavy “investment” or “wealth creation” keywords (like Groww, Zerodha).
• Very few apps target daily money control or emotional financial stress keywords.
• Keywords like “empty wallet month-end”, “first salary saving tips”, “UPI spending control” have low competition but high emotional connection.

SEO Opportunity for FinMitr:

• Focus on emotional problem keywords and real-life money struggles faced by young Indians.
• Capture niche searches where trust, simplicity, and daily habit building matter.

4. Optimize Content Strategy

• Use primary keyword in H1, H2 headers.
• Add emotional hooks in meta descriptions.
• Include FAQs based on “People Also Ask” from Google.
• Internal link blog posts to FinMitr app download pages.

5. Track and Iterate

✅ Post-Launch Metrics to Track:

• Organic Traffic (Google Search Console)
• Bounce Rate (lower = better targeting)
• Conversion Rate (visitors → app download or signup)
• Top Performing Keywords
• Ranking Improvement over 1–3 months

✅ Tools to Monitor:

• Google Search Console (primary)
• Google Analytics (behavior flow)
• Moz / Ahrefs (if budget permits for deeper insights)

✅ Iteration Strategy:

• Double down on blog formats that work.
• Add video SEO (YouTube shorts) around high-performing blog topics.
• Refresh content every 90 days based on new search trends.

1. Define the CAC : LTV Ratio

Before launching paid ads, we must ensure that the Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) is sustainable compared to the Lifetime Value (LTV) of a FinMitr user.

Ideal Benchmark:

CAC : LTV should be at least 1 : 3

(Meaning for every ₹1 we spend to acquire a user, we should make ₹3 in lifetime revenue from that user.)

Assumption for Early Stage (FinMitr PMF stage):

• Expected Lifetime Value per user = ₹1500–₹2500 (through subscriptions, upsells, premium features over 2–3 years)
• Target CAC range = ₹400–₹800 per paying user

✅ Insight:

With a conservative ₹1500 LTV, FinMitr can afford up to ₹500 CAC in early experiments while maintaining a healthy payback ratio.

 2. Choose an ICP for Paid Campaign

3. Select Advertising Channels

4. Align with Product-Market Fit (PMF)

At PMF stage, we should:

• Focus only on the First Jobber segment (where FinMitr fits strongest right now).
• Test messaging that highlights emotional benefits — “Take back control of your money”, “Never be broke at month-end again.”
• Ignore other ICPs (like Final Year Students or Financially Anxious Pros) until CACs stabilize with this segment.

5. Define Creative Strategy

a) Write a Core Marketing Pitch (Base Ad Copy)

“Tired of being broke before the month ends? Take control with FinMitr. Budget smarter. Spend wiser. Live freer.”

b) Adapt the Pitch for the First Jobber ICP:

• Instagram Short Copy:
  “Is your wallet empty by the 20th? 😓 Fix it with FinMitr. One app to track, plan, and grow your money. Download now!”
• Facebook Short Copy:
  “Saving money shouldn’t be hard. With FinMitr, plan your money, track spending, and reach your goals — all in one place. Start your journey today.”

6. Build Ad Creatives

✅ Creative 1: Instagram Story/Carousel

• Visual:
  Sad face meme of wallet empty
  ➔ Swipe → Happy face with “FinMitr Saved My Month”
• Text Overlay:
  “From Broke to Budgeted. Start with FinMitr.”

✅ Creative 2: Facebook Feed Ad

• Visual:
  A simple real-life budget vs actual expense comparison
  (“Thought I spent ₹20K. Actually spent ₹28K. Thank you, FinMitr!”)
• Text Overlay:
  “See where your money really goes. Track it. Fix it. Live better.”

 1. Identify Complementary Products Used by FinMitr’s ICP

• UPI apps like GPay, PhonePe, Paytm
