    01 — The Challenge

    Good traffic, poor conversion

    Finance Now needed a high-performance, conversion-driven platform that made applying for a personal loan seamless. Applying online carried too much friction, and the site wasn't converting the traffic it already attracted — visitors arrived with intent and left before starting an application.

    01

    The application path was heavy

    Too many steps and too much explanation between intent and starting an application.

    02

    Traffic wasn't matched to intent

    Visitors landed on pages that didn't answer the question they searched for.

    03

    No behavioural insight

    There was no visibility into where people actually stalled.

    02 — What We Built

    High-intent traffic into a streamlined application

    We matched search intent to purpose-built landing pages, then removed the friction between arriving and applying — and kept refining it with real behavioural data.

    01

    SEO-optimised landing pages

    A targeted keyword strategy driving high-intent traffic to the right page.

    02

    Conversion rate optimisation

    The application process streamlined so starting is the obvious next step.

    03

    Heatmaps and session recordings

    Real user behaviour used to find and remove remaining stalling points.

    04

    Continuous performance tracking

    Ongoing measurement so the experience keeps improving after launch.

    The Commercial Impact

    More applications from the same audience

    42% more click-throughs to loan applications and a 26% lower bounce rate in the first 30 days — more value from traffic the business was already paying to attract.

    03 — Why This Matters

    Why this matters in regulated consumer finance

    In finance, the application is the conversion. Every extra step between intent and application costs a customer who was ready to proceed.

    01

    Intent-matched pages convert

    The right answer on arrival removes the reason to go back to search.

    02

    Fewer steps, more applications

    Application friction is the single biggest lever in the funnel.

    03

    Behaviour beats opinion

    Recordings and heatmaps end the internal debate about what to change.
