214% Growth in Website Traffic For RBL Bank’s Savings Accounts

RBL Bank, a leading bank in India, aimed to secure top rankings for digital savings-related keywords while simultaneously elevating website traffic in the face of fierce competition within the BFSI industry. The primary objectives were to increase online visibility, attract organic traffic, and improve conversion rates.

The Challenges

The finance industry’s competitiveness made it hard for the bank to rank high in search results for popular keywords. Even if some keywords were ranking, websites failed to convert visitors into customers due to poor design, lack of engaging content, and confusing user experiences.

Savings accounts, a key product for banks, lacked a good user experience on the website for customers seeking information or opening new accounts.

To overcome these challenges, a diligent focus on the user journey and the user experience was required.

This included conducting thorough keyword research, optimizing the website for a better user experience, creating persona-based and need-based content, and testing and refining websites based on user behavior.
