FinTech · Digital Marketing
Raqbash is a digital marketing agency in Ahmedabad for fintech and financial services: lenders, payment companies, brokers, insurers, banks and advisory firms. We run verified Google Ads, trust-led content and onboarding funnels that are measured on activated, KYC-complete customers, with every claim checked against the rules your regulator sets.
Trusted partners
From global enterprises to fast-growing startups, brands across the world trust Raqbash to build and scale their digital products.
Overview
People choose financial products slowly and suspiciously: they compare, read explainers, check who regulates the provider and only then sign up. FinTech digital marketing works when it earns that trust first and measures success at activation, not at the download or the form.
A borrower comparing business loans, an investor opening a demat account or a family choosing health cover follows the same pattern. They search a plain question, read two or three explainers, look for the regulator's name and the lender or insurer behind the brand, and test a calculator before giving a phone number. Increasingly they ask an AI assistant to compare options, which cites pages that explain products clearly and disclose who provides them.
Generic performance marketing breaks in finance in three ways. Ads are rejected because the account has not completed Google's financial services verification. Campaigns chase cheap installs and sign-ups that never finish KYC. And content written for volume fails both Google's standards for money topics and your compliance team's review, so it never goes live.
Raqbash, a digital marketing agency in Ahmedabad with its own engineering team, plans financial marketing around the regulated customer journey: verified accounts, claims your compliance officer can approve, and onboarding fixes shipped in code.

Challenges
Financial marketing usually stalls at verification, KYC, content approval or attribution, and each has a specific fix.
Services
Raqbash offers seven fintech marketing services, combined around one goal: more activated customers at a cost the unit economics allow.

Tax Consultant digital marketingGrow without hype: compliant education content, B2B Web3 leads and ASCI-ready disclaimers.
Crypto digital marketingFull-funnel strategy
Financial marketing runs as four stages, from earning attention without hype to activating and retaining customers, each judged on its own measure.
Stage 1 · Awareness
Education builds the familiarity that finance needs: clear videos, explainers and founder or expert content, never return promises.
Stage 2 · Consideration
Customers compare charges, rates and terms. Calculators and honest comparison pages keep you in the shortlist.
Stage 3 · Conversion
The real conversion is a verified customer. Onboarding friction, unclear disclosures and slow OTPs are fixed before spend rises.
Stage 4 · Retention
First transaction, first investment or first premium starts the relationship; lifecycle messaging grows its value.
Compliance & ethics
Financial advertising in India is shaped by sector regulators, ad-platform verification and data-protection law. Raqbash builds campaigns inside those limits and routes every claim through your compliance owner.
Advertisers showing financial services ads in India must complete Google's verification and demonstrate a licence from the relevant regulator.
No guaranteed returns or misleading performance claims, consistent with SEBI, RBI and IRDAI positions and consumer-protection rules.
Regulators' names and logos are never used to suggest approval of a product.
SEBI's August 2024 amendments bar regulated entities from associating with unregistered finfluencers who give advice or make performance claims.
IRDAI's 2024 framework governs insurance ads (ULIPs may not be sold as investments), and RBI's Digital Lending Directions, 2025 require the lender and KFS to be disclosed.
Under the DPDP Act, 2023, forms ask for consent and no account, income or KYC detail reaches advertising systems.
Guidance, not legal advice. Rules change. We design campaigns to respect the current position and ask your legal or compliance advisor to confirm anything specific to your organisation.
Transparency
Raqbash reports fintech marketing in activated customers: spend, KYC-complete sign-ups, cost per activation and what changed, with a log of every claim approved.
A typical pattern, not a promise: results depend on competition, budget and how quickly changes are approved. No one can guarantee rankings or leads.
Month 1–2
Ad verification, consent and server-side events in place; first compliant campaigns live.
Month 3–4
Bidding moves from sign-ups to KYC-complete events; onboarding fixes shipped.
Month 5–6

Month 6–12
Budget follows the cohorts with the best retention, and lifecycle journeys add value.
No bought links, fake reviews, scraped data or policy workarounds. Ever.

One report and one review call a month, showing spend, enquiries and what changed.
Pricing
FinTech digital marketing costs a monthly retainer plus ad spend paid to Google, Meta or LinkedIn; compliance review and onboarding work add to the scope.
Raqbash digital marketing retainers range from ₹25,000 to ₹2,00,000+ per month; ad spend is separate and paid directly to Google or Meta (pricing on our digital marketing page).

Compare channels
SEO builds the trust financial buyers need, Google Ads captures active demand and app campaigns scale installs; all three should be judged on activated customers.
| Criterion | SEO and content | Google Search Ads | App campaigns |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost model | Retainer; no cost per click | Fee plus ad spend | Fee plus ad spend per install or event |
| Time to first results | 3–6 months for explainers to rank | Days, after financial services verification | Days, then weeks to optimise to KYC |
| Best for | Trust and comparison research | High-intent product searches | Consumer apps with clear onboarding |
| Main restriction | Every claim must pass compliance | Verification and product-specific policies | Store policies for financial apps |
| Typical pitfall | Content that never gets approved | Paying for ineligible applicants | Installs that never finish KYC |

Process
Every engagement follows the same six steps, starting with verification, consent and event tracking before spend increases.
Step 01
We review your website, Google Business Profile, ad accounts, tracking and competitors, and share the findings in plain language.
Step 02
A written plan: which channels, in what order, with what budget split, which KPIs and what we expect by month three and month six.
Step 03
Analytics, conversion events, call and form tracking and consent are fixed first, so every later decision rests on clean data.
Step 04
Campaigns, landing pages and content go live in a planned sequence, with your approval on copy and creative before anything runs.
Step 05
Weekly checks on search terms, audiences, creative and landing pages; budget moves towards what produces enquiries, not clicks.
Step 06
A monthly report and review call, then a decision on what to scale, what to fix and what to stop.
