The current organic strategy for Tata Play Binge seems to be riding on getting the basic brand searches right and also building content through social media. Their website ranks well on Brand searches but not so much on content searches or generic keywords.
Keyword research
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1skPcVeranorHjKCKD84dyLMgoevdsthk1eG5xYOnOL8/edit?usp=sharing. (link for all keywords analysed)
The ICP searches broadly the following categories of keywords on google:
Identifying gaps and opportunities
Brand keywords - combination of Tata play Binge, tata Binge , tata sky binge generating most of the searches (average 1L in a month). The brand is featuring well there and doing most things right. No Action Needed
OTT App searches - All OTT partner or content+ OTT partner searches. Lot of searches happening for the OTT partners and mostly the App partner SEO is very strong and also the authenticity goes to them. The Brand page doesnt feature in most searches organically and hence the Brand needs to create some backlinks and content pages for each OTT App in their own website www.tatalpaybinge.com
High effort , Low returns. Not to be pursued
Content title searches
Search volumes depend on the buzz of the content title. Typically the results go to content partner or a lot of review/news sites and then below the fold is where the other results come but most are just about content. However barring marquee titles , the life of the search volumes is really low and tapers within a month.
High effort , Low returns. To be pursued only for marquee title releases
Generic Searches
Generic searches also have a substantial search volumes and the results are largely for blog sites and review sites only. High volumes and less competition.
High effort, High Returns. To be pursued
Deep diving into Generic searches
Search Pattern
How people search
Website URL is already in sections with these genres/categories and languages which is a good sign. There are also lot of individual pages for languages etc

Strategy for Sports : While the section for Sports exists on the website , there are no pages which are sports specific or even tournament specific and needs to created more of. So while there are rails of specific live matches and key tournaments but there are not landing pages of the tournaments and players
Action: To create landing pages for key cricket & football tournaments.
Cricket - IPL, World cup, India matches. And have a tournament scheudle, player details etc
Football: Same needs to be done at-least for football also - esp UEFA, English Premier league and Bundesliga. Should have mention of matches, players, clubs and trivia around it
example: https://www.sonyliv.com/sports/football-uefa-champions-league-1700000773

Movies:
Largely driven by either titles or languages

Punjabi | 225,020 |
Bengali | 127,120 |
Gujarati | 99,900 |
Odia | 33,100 |
Assamese | 4,400 |
Strategy for Movies : The movies section on the website is laid out well and brings out the latest releases and sections including language and genre, however they are still not ranking well. https://www.tataplaybinge.com/movies
Action: To create landing pages for language movies and listicles
Top OTT movies
Create landing page and write content :https://sanskarsavvy.com/news/2024s-top-indian-ott-movies-the-latest-must-watch-hits/
Language+ OTT keyword is working well for Binge.
https://www.tataplaybinge.com/movies/lang/hindi
https://www.tataplaybinge.com/movies/lang/telugu
Langauge+ listics + movies is the other big opportunity and need dedicated pages
Hindi Movies, top hindi movies of 2024, Hit hindi movies
Telugu movies , top 5 telugi movies
Content writing will have to be done for the landing pages. Few examples below
(Keep it simple and get the basics right)
​
Step 1 →
User behaviour - The high end heavy OTT watchers spend a lot of time online esp on platforms like Instagram and Youtube. Infact most of their choice of which content to watch comes from surfing reaction videos on trailers or shows on youtube/Insta, following the OTT app pages on insta, reading about reviews from iMDB/Redditt/rotten tomatoes and the last but an important one being reviews/recommendations from friends.
Tata Play Binge would want to use the last insight as the big content loop idea where we want to entice and enable users to become content experts and recommenders.
Content Loop : Bingeditfirst
Idea : Customers will be prompted to rate/review the newly released show while earning badges of different levels of Expertise and also telling them if they are the first ones to watch the show so should let their friends know. Could be in video or text formats.
The Loop:
Hook: Brag about that new content you watched with your friends and family. Rate and share your review to help them decide what to watch and earn Expert review points. The points will decide your status and also the fact that you will come on top when customers will look for recommendations within the App(eventually the points can also be redeemed to get subscription or other benefits)
Content Creator- Users
Content Distributor- Users+ Brand
Channel of distribution: WhatsApp/Instagram as well as IN-product(shared Bingelists)
For New content
Step 1 - User comes to the App and watches a new content
Step 2- Once the user has finished the content , he/she is prompted to rate and share the review with a hook of points. It also prompts them with nice one liner reviews for the show alongwith his name /picture(phase 2 can have videos)
Step 3 - User can select to do it or not and if they say yes, they will choose the rating and review from the suggested list
Step 4 - User is asked to share the review by throwing all social media options (Insta/Whatsapp etc)
Step 5 - User sees a thankyou note with some Bpoints credited to him
Step 6- User is also asked if they want to share the rating/review on the App itself
Content loop For Bingelists
Customers would be prompted to create(Brand will help create it) and share their Bingelists either privately with friends(on Whatsapp) or publicly on their social media). They would also be asked if they want to publish their Bingelists within the product for others to see. This Bingelist moves to a section we create on App called as Expert Bingelists for the app users to see and play with
Hook: Be the Content Guru. Share your Bingelist and let your friends know what to watch . On sharing you will get Bpoints which will decide your status and also the fact that you will come on top when customers will look for recommendations within the App(eventually the points can also be redeemed to get subscription or other benefits)
Content Creator- Users
Content Distributor- Users+ Brand
Channel of distribution: WhatsApp/Instagram as well as IN-product(shared Bingelists)
Step 1 - User comes to the App and based on past history or basis users choice, (basis a few genre ,actors combination), a bingelist is created. So for example since user watch a lot of thrillers in past , Binge can prompt saying here is your Thriller Bingelist OR the user can be prompted to create a Bingelist by simple taps on favoirte genre , actors , language etc
Step 2 - User will be asked to publish his Bingelist with a hook of Bpoints. It also prompts them with nice one liner reviews for the show alongwith his name /picture(phase 2 can have videos)
Step 3 - User is asked to share the Bingelits by throwing all social media options (Insta/Whatsapp etc)
Step 4 - User sees a thankyou note with some Bpoints credited to him
Step 5- User is also asked if they want to share the Bingelist on the App itself
Step 6- This Bingelist moves to a section we create on App called as Expert Bingelists for the app users to see and play with. The more peopel see it the better the expertise level and they can use it to brag on social media or earn points.
(Understand what is already being done, what is working out well and what needs to be stopped)
Currently , Tata Play Binge has been using paid advertising on Google search , App store and Meta. Most searches seem to be coming from top 20 cities
The search volumes have grown in the last 12 months and seems like the SEM is working well and happens due to two factors
CAC: LTV ratio for Binge - 1:3. ( have arrived basis avg tenure of 4 months and the current margins on the product and expected CAC for mentioned channels)
ICP : Young adults(25-34), with high entertainment budget(more than 1000 rs on content consumption) and subscribed to more than 3 Apps.
Behaviour :Typically go to google search to find which app the content is one and read reviews before deciding to watch the content or buy subscription. They hate spending this time searching and woukd rather spend it watching something
Advertising Channels
Google search (SEM)- both brand keywords and title/Ott keywords
App store search (UAC campaigns)
Meta

Step 6 Design at least two ad creatives (e.g., images, sketches, videos, text ads) that reflect your marketing pitch.
Since the product is already available on all devices which are the most obvious used case like Smart TVs, firetv stick, mobile, laptop, pads etc - there isnt too much of a need gap in terms of product integration. Also use cases which can be thought of in terms of while travelling in a cab etc are already been catered to via the mobile where you can watch or while travelling on airplane where you can download and watch and is already an established behaviour.
Can still do consoles in uber/ola or think of integration in products like Bookmyshow but the effort is very high and the returns would be very low. Hence skipping this section.
