We review search terms for consumer intent, check ad and landing page copy against platform financial services policies, and focus on business buyer and integration searches.
Google Ads for fintech companies
In short
PlanConversion, a Montreal-based B2B demand and revenue generation agency, runs Google Ads for fintech companies. Fintech search mixes consumer and business intent, and ad policies restrict some financial categories.
We keep campaigns strictly business-focused, exclude consumer queries, and check policy requirements before launch so campaigns are not limited after they start. Programs are measured on qualified leads, opportunities and pipeline value from the CRM.

Our point of view
What works in financial technology
Fintech search mixes consumer and business intent, and ad policies restrict some financial categories. We keep campaigns strictly business-focused, exclude consumer queries, and check policy requirements before launch so campaigns are not limited after they start.
Avoid this
The most common mistake
Letting consumer finance searches into B2B campaigns, and launching ads that later trip financial services ad policies.
Plays
What we run for financial technology teams
Business-only intent
Consumer banking and personal finance excluded.
Policy checks before launch
Financial services ad requirements reviewed.
Pipeline-based bidding
Qualified opportunities imported from the CRM.
The first month
How we start
Leading indicator to watch
Share of spend on business-intent searches, and qualified opportunities per campaign.
How the program runs
Management starts with a two-week audit of structure, search terms and conversion tracking. Weekly reviews then clean search terms and move budget by sales outcomes, and campaigns move to value-based bidding once the CRM sends enough qualified conversions back to Google. The full Google Ads service page lists every deliverable.
Who we reach
The buying committee
- CFO and finance leaders
- Risk, compliance and security officers
- Heads of product and technology
- Procurement and vendor management
Compliance slows every deal
Security, legal and risk reviews add stakeholders and months, so proof and clarity have to arrive early.
Trust is the product
Buyers need credible evidence before they engage, and generic claims get ignored.
Many roles, one decision
Finance, risk, IT and procurement each judge the platform on different criteria.
