The challenge was capturing higher-value demographics willing to pay for premium offerings — requiring an advanced cross-channel funnel.
Each tax season required capturing new users while maximizing existing-customer returns quickly. Without gains in registrations + cost-per-registration + e-Files, growth risked stagnation.
Website lacked optimized user pathways. Heavy reliance on short-term paid limited organic scale. Refund Estimator was underused for retargeting. Premium-package upgrades remained untapped.
