About Razorpay

Razorpay is India's leading payment gateway and fintech platform, processing billions of dollars in transactions for businesses of all sizes. Founded in 2014 in Bangalore, Razorpay powers payments for over 8 million businesses across India, offering a full-stack financial solutions suite including payment gateway, banking, lending, and payroll products.

Beyond their core payments infrastructure, Razorpay needed to maintain and grow organic dominance while expanding into high-volume utility tools -- IFSC code lookup, GST verification, and business compliance resources -- that drive massive organic traffic and establish the brand as a go-to financial resource for businesses and individuals alike.

The Challenge

Scaling Beyond Branded Search

Razorpay already had strong brand recognition and significant branded search volume. However, the challenge was far more nuanced than simply ranking for their own name. They needed to defend #1 positions for high-volume utility keywords like "ifsc code" (232K monthly searches) and "gst verification" (221K monthly searches) against aggressive competitors.

With the Indian fintech landscape becoming increasingly crowded, maintaining a DR 90 domain authority while simultaneously expanding the organic footprint beyond branded terms required a sophisticated, multi-pronged strategy. Every keyword position lost could mean millions in traffic value eroded.

The goal was clear: sustain dominance, expand reach, and turn Razorpay into the definitive organic destination for financial and business utility queries across India.

Defending #1 Positions

Maintaining top rankings for ultra-competitive utility keywords like "ifsc code" and "gst verification" with 200K+ monthly search volume each.

Expanding Non-Branded Traffic

Growing organic footprint beyond "razorpay" branded queries into high-intent financial, compliance, and banking utility searches.

Competing in Financial Utilities

Outranking established government portals and financial institutions for business utility queries that drive massive organic traffic.
