Park+ is a technology-driven platform that aims to simplify parking solutions in urban areas. Founded in 2019 by Amit Lakhotiya, the company has quickly become a prominent player in the parking industry, providing a seamless parking experience through its mobile app.
Based in Gurugram, India, the app has now expanded its services to offer everything from car cleaning to parking at home, malls, and offices, to paying fines, insurance purchase and renewal, and car service and maintenance among others. It also offers FASTag management and cloud-based automation solutions to both B2B clients as well as regular (individual) customers.
At the end of 2022, Park+ had over six million cars on its platform. It aims to scale the app to get at least 25-30 percent of the total cars in India onto the app.
The Covid-19 pandemic “parked” the business almost overnight and forced Amit and his team to pivot their thinking and product offer. To flourish in the competitive parking industry, Park+ had several key requirements that needed to be fulfilled:
Increased Visibility: Park+ was not only a relatively new entrant in the parking industry, it was also creating a totally new category. It, therefore, faced the challenge of increasing its visibility in a competitive market. The company needed to enhance brand awareness and attract more potential users to the platform
Higher SEO & Organic Traffic: To reduce customer acquisition costs and build a sustainable user base, Park+ had to significantly increase its organic traffic. This required improving its search engine rankings and optimizing its online presence
Quality Content: Park+ recognized the importance of creating high-quality, relevant content to engage users and establish itself as an industry authority. Well-crafted content not only attracts organic traffic but also provides value to users, improving customer loyalty
Park+'s Northstar
Their primary objective was to educate customers and spread their message far and wide, reaching a wide audience.
Within just six months of engaging with Pepper, Park+ experienced a 250% growth in traffic and scaled to 1.15 Million in Organic Traffic. This outstanding performance is further emphasized by the website's successful ranking on more than 50,000 keywords within the Top 50 search results.
What's more, their hard work led to an incredible 2000% increase in app downloads, showcasing how powerful their actions were.
And the best part? The growth isn't slowing down; it's still surging ahead. Read below on how Pepper Content helped them solve the problem by defining the challenges and building the right solutions through our innovative platform
The key challenge faced by Park+ was the intense competition within the parking industry. Traditional parking methods and established players had a strong presence and user familiarity. Convincing users to switch to a new and innovative tech-enabled platform like Park+ required overcoming the inertia of sticking to what they were already familiar with.
Park+ also lacked a dedicated in-house content team to create regular, engaging content that could keep users informed and interested. Finding the right content strategy and producing quality material were significant hurdles.
To illustrate the organic growth challenges for Park+, Google India sees a massive 559,000 monthly searches just for traffic violation notices (challans), which is just one of Park+'s services. Without organic growth, they'd miss out on a good portion of the market share and high-potential leads.
The challenges for Park+ can be summarized as follows:
