One of India's most expensive ad markets
Fintech lending on Google Ads is brutal - average CPCs of ₹40-80 and CPLs routinely crossing ₹150-200. Lendingkart needed consistent loan lead volume over 14 months without letting costs spiral. Most competitors were spending more and getting worse results.
- Campaigns segmented by loan type (personal, business, MSME) to raise Quality Scores
- Tightly themed ad groups to improve relevance and reduce CPC organically
- Weekly search term reviews - eliminating irrelevant traffic before it burned budget
- Ad copy tested continuously to improve CTR and Quality Score simultaneously
- Daily budget managed across ₹2L/month to prevent overspend and maintain delivery
The insight that drove the result: Most fintech advertisers bid broadly on "loan" and "instant loan" - which inflates CPCs for everyone. By targeting granular, bottom-of-funnel intent ("MSME business loan Delhi", "working capital loan apply") and improving Quality Scores, CPC dropped to ₹4-6 while competitors paid 10-15x more for the same clicks.
