Executive Summary

This interactive plan translates CloudCFO.ai’s growth into a 24‑month budgeted system. Reinvestment from Month 4 onward is now: Spend = min($40,000, r × prior month revenue), where revenue is MRR at end of month. The percent r is editable (defaults A=40%, B=50%). Base spend (M1–M3) still consumes the initial cash pool; reinvest spend is self‑funded. The monthly table shows $ Users (paid‑media only), npUsers (non‑paid only), Users YTD (all‑sources cumulative), pARR, pLTV, Cash 2, and Cash Left.

Base schedule: $10k (M1), $6k (M2), $4k (M3). From M4: cap $40k and % of prior month revenue.

Core Inputs

Segments, LTV & ARPU (updated)
Carbon add‑on adoption adds $20 × adoption% to ARPU.
Channels, CPC & Click→Trial (current values)
These CVRs are kept from your v7 defaults. Adjust per channel as needed.
Trial→Paid by Segment & Channel Effects
Baseline Trial→Paid is 25% for all segments; use channel boosts/penalties to reflect traffic quality.
Portfolio Allocation & Schedules (24‑month)
From Month 4: Spendₘ = Baseₘ + min(Cap, r × Revenueₘ₋₁), where Revenueₘ₋₁ = MRR EOM (prior month). Base spend consumes the initial cash; reinvest is self‑funded.
Non‑Paid Growth Loops
Non‑paid additions are distributed to segments using the segment mix.

Campaign Blueprint

Account Structure & Naming
  • Segmentation: Separate by persona (FREELANCER / SMB / ECOM / BOOKKEEPER), intent (BRAND / COMP / CORE), and geo (US / CA / UK / AU / DE / NL).
  • Naming: CCFO_[SEG]_[INTENT]_[COUNTRY]_[Lang]_[Device]_[Match] (e.g., CCFO_SMB_CORE_US_EN_M_MPH).
  • Isolation: Brand vs Non‑brand; Exact vs Broad; Search vs PMax vs Video/Display; remarketing separated by cohort (30/60/90).
  • Negatives: Shared lists for “free templates”, “accountant jobs”, “manual bookkeeping”, generic “what is bookkeeping”.
Keyword Themes (illustrative) 
FREELANCER CORE: "simple bookkeeping app", "bookkeeping for freelancers", "self employed expenses tracker"
SMB CORE: "quickbooks alternative", "automated bookkeeping", "receipt capture quickbooks", "ai cfo"
ECOM CORE: "carbon accounting ecommerce", "marketplace tax compliance", "esg accounting software"
BOOKKEEPER B2B: "bookkeeping practice automation", "client document collection whatsapp", "automate bank feeds"
COMPETITOR: "xero carbon accounting", "quickbooks whatsapp receipts", "wave ocr alternative"

Use SKAG/SCAG where helpful; start Exact + Phrase; test Broad with robust negatives and value‑based bidding.

Audience Layering
  • 1P product events (receipt_upload, qb_connect, carbon_enabled), plan intent score from Supabase/CRM.
  • Custom segments: “WhatsApp bookkeeping”, “ESG carbon accounting”, “QuickBooks automation”.
  • In‑market: Accounting & Bookkeeping Software, Small Business Services, E‑commerce Tools.
Creative & Extensions
  • USPs: WhatsApp receipt capture, <500ms AI processing, integrated carbon accounting.
  • LP congruence: one landing per persona; mobile‑first; proof modules (logos, ratings, case studies).
  • Extensions: sitelinks (Pricing / WhatsApp / Carbon / Integrations), callouts (GDPR / <500ms), snippets (Features).
  • Video: 15–30s explainer; hooks on “Stop chasing receipts — message them”.

Conversion Rate Optimization

Landing Page Checklist (per persona)

  • Hero formula: Problem → Value → Proof → CTA. Secondary CTA for demo/video.
  • Mobile LCP ≤ 2.5s, CLS ≤ 0.1, TTI ≤ 3s; lazy‑load heavy media.
  • Social proof above the fold; security & compliance badges for EU traffic (GDPR, data residency).
  • Comparison blocks vs QuickBooks/Xero (no trademark misuse), highlight ESG & WhatsApp edge.
  • Pricing toggle monthly/annual; calculator for tax savings/time saved.

Offer & Experimentation

  • Trials: 14–30 days; annual ‑15% to ‑20% discount; bundle Carbon add‑on first 60 days.
  • Onboarding nudges: WhatsApp connect; QB integration; Carbon tooltip at upload.
  • A/B: headlines, hero art, social proof sequence, CTA labels, checkout friction (fields).
  • QS levers: Ad→LP keyword match, above‑the‑fold H1 alignment, fast mobile response.

Automation & Scripts

Rules & Safeguards

  • Budget pacing: +15%/‑15% weekly based on CAC vs target by segment.
  • Sinkhole guard: pause any keyword/adset with > 200 clicks, < 1 trial in 7 days.
  • Creative fatigue: rotate after 7‑day decline > 20% CTR vs prior.
  • QS alert: email/Slack when QS < 6 for top 20% spend keywords.

Pseudocode — n‑gram Negatives

// Daily: build n-gram table from queries; add negatives if ratio of non-converting clicks is high
if (clicks(ngram) >= 80 && trials(ngram) == 0) addNegative(ngram);
if (spend(ngram) >= 2 * targetCAC && paid(ngram) == 0) addNegative(ngram);

Measurement & Attribution

Event Taxonomy (GA4 + Supabase)

sign_up {source, campaign, medium, geo, device}
trial_start {plan_hint, persona, feature=whatsapp|carbon|qb}
receipt_upload {channel, doc_type, time_to_ai_ms}
integration_connect {type=quickbooks|gmail|drive|dropbox}
carbon_enabled {scope=org|product, baseline_tCO2e}
checkout_start {plan, cycle, price, coupon}

churn {plan, tenure_months, reason}

Offline Conversions

  • Pipe trial→paid and plan tier to ad platforms (gclid/fbclid matching).
  • Lead score → audience sync for remarketing; exclude paid cohorts.
  • Dashboards: CAC, LTV:CAC, payback by segment × channel × geo.

90‑Day Ramp (week‑by‑week)

Weeks 1–2

  • Implement tracking (GA4+Supabase), consent, offline conversion schema.
  • Ship 4 persona LPs + 2 feature LPs (WhatsApp, Carbon).
  • Launch Search (brand/core/exact) + competitor exact; build shared negatives.
  • Meta intro sets (Freelancer/E‑com), LI lead gen (Bookkeepers).

Weeks 3–6

  • Expand to PMax; scale Search phrase; enable remarketing (30/60/90).
  • YouTube explainer + retargeting; review sites pilot (Capterra/G2).
  • Automations: pacing, sinkhole guard, QS alerts; start n‑gram job.
  • First offer tests (trial length, annual promo, carbon bundle).

Weeks 7–12

  • Optimize to pLTV (value‑based bids); scale winners +15–25% weekly.
  • Localize FR‑CA/DE/NL LPs and campaigns as CPA targets met.
  • Partnerships: accountant communities; marketplace listings.
  • Milestones: CAC within guardrails; payback < 6 months; adoption targets: WA 40%, Carbon 40%.

Competitor Conquest Strategy

Angles

  • QuickBooks: “Automate the manual — WhatsApp receipts in <500ms; ESG built‑in.”
  • Xero: “More automation, less add‑ons — message receipts, one click to carbon.”
  • Wave: “Free is costly — upgrade to AI speed and accuracy.”

Controls

  • Use “alternative to” language; no trademark logos on LPs.
  • Cap CPC bids; strict negative lists to avoid job seekers/support queries.
  • Rotate ads to avoid fatigue; personalized LPs per competitor term.

Geo Expansion & Partnerships

Sequence

  • Phase 1: US (45%), CA (15%), UK (10%).
  • Phase 2 (as CPA targets met): AU, DE, NL; localize copy & consent.
  • Languages: EN, FR‑CA, DE, NL.

Partnerships

  • Accountant/bookkeeper communities and influencers.
  • E‑commerce ecosystems; app stores; review sites (G2/Capterra).
  • WhatsApp Business API (click‑to‑chat onboarding).
