August 2026
01 Who You're Working With

A quick introduction.

I'm Sriram. I lead projects and oversee delivery for brands across digital strategy, web and marketing. I'd rather understand how your business actually runs and build around that than hand over something generic and ask you to adapt to it.

Web at scale

Website delivery for educational institutions across South India, including one with 12,000+ students.

Custom systems

Bespoke CRMs and internal tools shaped around how a team already works.

Live lead generation

Currently running paid campaigns for clients across sectors — strategy, funnels and follow-up.

02 The Brief

What we understand about your business.

We went through your Instagram profile and the two ad videos you shared, so this plan is built around how you actually talk to your audience — not generic assumptions.

Your positioning

A nutrition and lifestyle coaching practice built specifically around women 40+ going through perimenopause and menopause.

Habit-based, not diet-based — "this isn't another fad diet" is a strong differentiator in a crowded weight-loss ad space.

A named signature method — the "StrongHer Framework" — should be used consistently across all ad creative and landing pages as your unique system.

Real client testimonials, shot warm and personal — builds trust fast, worth repeating with more client stories.

Pain & Promise

Core pain points: hormones, poor sleep, stress, bloating, mood swings, low energy, feeling "lost." Core outcome promised: energy, feeling like themselves again, a body that finally listens to them.

Your programmes

6-Month 1:1 Programme

₹3,00,000 – ₹4,00,000

High-touch, personal coaching. Best for clients who want a fully custom plan and direct access to you.

20-Week Group Programme

₹1,00,000 – ₹1,25,000

Slightly lower commitment and price, cohort-based. A strong "entry point" offer for group-oriented clients.

Why This Matters

Because both programmes are online-only and high-ticket, the ad's job is not to sell directly — it's to get the right woman to raise her hand, so you can close the sale on a call. Standard practice for offers above ₹1 lakh.

Your target client

03 Planning The Spend

Recommended campaign budget.

We suggest a range of ₹75,000 – ₹1,00,000 in ad spend. Even one client from a ₹3–4 lakh programme pays back the entire budget many times over — the goal is quality leads, not mass volume.

Recommended split — ₹90,000 total

Channel
Budget
Why
Meta Ads (Instagram + Facebook)
₹55,000 · 61%
Primary platform — your testimonial videos and reels are built for this format.
Google Ads (Search + PMax)
₹30,000 · 33%
Captures active search intent, then extends reach across YouTube, Gmail, Discover.
Buffer / Testing Reserve
₹5,000 · 6%
Held back for week one, shifted to whichever platform performs better.

How the 45 days are phased

Days 1–10

Pilot / Learning

₹20,000 — run both platforms with 2–3 audience variants, gather data on cheapest cost-per-lead.

Days 11–30

Scaling

₹50,000 — shift budget to what's working, pause weak ad sets, introduce retargeting.

Days 31–45

Optimisation + Push

₹20,000 — tighten targeting, refresh creative, push retargeting on warm leads.

04 Search Intent

The Google Ads plan.

On Google, people are actively typing what they're struggling with — this channel is about catching high-intent searches at the right moment, in the countries where your ideal client lives.

Search campaign

Highest intent, most control over keywords — the priority campaign, gets the larger share of Google budget.

Performance Max

Google's AI shows your ad across YouTube, Gmail, Discover, Display and Search using your best-performing assets.

Sequencing

Days 1–10: Search only, so we're not launching PMax with zero signal. Day 11 onward: PMax turns on using early conversion data plus your client list as a Customer Match audience.

Targeting

Keywords

High Intent

perimenopause coach online, menopause weight loss programme, hormone coach for women over 40, 1:1 menopause coaching programme

Problem-Aware

why can't I lose weight in perimenopause, hormonal weight gain after 40, perimenopause bloating and fatigue, brain fog and mood swings

Branded

StrongHer Framework, The 8th Element coaching, menopause coach for busy women

Budget & expected numbers — 45 days, ₹30,000

05 Where She Scrolls

The Meta Ads plan.

Meta gets the bigger share of budget. Your existing ad videos are testimonial-style, personal, emotionally driven — exactly the format that performs best on Instagram and Facebook.

Campaign structure

Campaign 1

Lead Generation

The main campaign — Meta's lead form or a short landing page / booking calendar.

Campaign 2

Video Views

Smaller budget, builds a warm audience of 50%+ video viewers for later retargeting.

Campaign 3

Retargeting (Day 11+)

Anyone who watched, visited, or opened the lead form but didn't submit — converts far cheaper.

Targeting & placements

Budget & expected numbers — 45 days, ₹55,000

Average CPM
₹350 – ₹700 (≈ $4–$8 USD)
Estimated reach / impressions
70,000 – 1,40,000

06 The Message

Creative & messaging plan.

What's already working

  • Real, personally-filmed testimonials — keep this exact style
  • Leading with a specific pain point, not a generic "lose weight" message
  • The "StrongHer Framework" name used consistently everywhere

What we'll add

  • 2–3 shorter testimonial cuts (15–30s) for Reels/Stories
  • One "founder-to-camera" ad explaining the Framework in <30s
  • A benefit-led static image ad for Facebook Feed retargeting
The Offer

Because programmes are ₹1–4 lakh, we never ask for a sale directly in the ad — the ask is a free, low-commitment first step: "Book a free 20-minute clarity call" or "Take the 2-minute perimenopause readiness quiz."

07 45 Days, Phased

The pilot campaign timeline.

Week 1 · Day 1–7

Setup

Landing page and tracking finalised, campaigns built, client list uploaded, videos ready.

Week 2 · Day 8–14

Pilot Launch

Google and Meta go live with 2–3 audience variants. PMax turns on around Day 11.

Week 3 · Day 15–21

First Optimisation

Week 4–5 · Day 22–35

Scaling

Increase budget on winners, test new creative, expand countries if performing well.

Week 6 · Day 36–45

Push + Review

Heavy retargeting on warm leads, final report and recommendations for next phase.

Ongoing

Reporting

08 The Numbers

Investment for this campaign.

Two parts — the media budget that goes directly to Google and Meta's ad platforms, and our management fee for planning, running and optimising the campaign.

Ad Spend · Media Budget
₹90,000 recommended (₹75,000 – ₹1,00,000 range)

Paid directly to Google Ads and Meta — split 61% Meta / 33% Google / 6% buffer.

Payment terms

Advance

Ad spend is billed separately from the management fee and is paid directly into the Google Ads / Meta Ads accounts as campaigns run.

09 Where We Can Help

What we do, what it involves, and what it costs.

This is where our expertise sits — not a list you need to take all of. Most clients start with one or two and add later. Prices are included against each so there's nothing to guess at, and a summary sits at the end.

Creates demandMeta & InstagramReaches people before they're looking. Where conditions that need explaining get explained.
Captures demandGoogle SearchReaches people at the exact moment they're searching. Highest intent, quickest to convert.
Compounds over timeSEOBuilds visibility that keeps working after the spending stops, and lowers the cost of both above.
01

Discovery & brand strategy

A structured set of sessions to work out what The 8th Element stands for, who it's for, and how to say it — before anything gets built or advertised.

What you'll have at the end
  • A clear, simple way of explaining what The 8th Element is — so every piece of messaging says the same thing
  • A definite picture of who you're speaking to, and where those women actually are
  • The problem you solve, the way you solve it, and what the StrongHer Framework offers that others don't
  • A vision and mission you can actually use day to day, not just frame on a wall
  • A short pitch that explains the brand convincingly in under a minute

Why it's worth doing first: every decision after this — website wording, ad copy, what you post — gets faster and more consistent once these answers exist. Without them, each one gets re-argued.

02

Website development

A working website with a page for each thing you offer, built so Google can read and rank every service separately.

What it covers
  • Home, About, Infrastructure and Contact pages
  • A dedicated page per service — or services grouped together
  • Typically six to eight pages grouped, or twelve-plus if kept separate
  • Built to capture enquiries, not just to look good

If a revamp is already underway with someone else, we can work alongside it rather than replace it — tell us where it stands.

From ₹75,000One-time · up to 8 pages

Includes content, design and development. If a full site isn't the priority yet, a single landing page is ₹22,500 — enough to give ads somewhere to send people.

Websites I've built

Multi-page sites, service pages, e-commerce and landing pages. Tap any name to visit the live site.

03

Lead generation — Meta & Google

Paid campaigns on both platforms, each doing the job it's actually good at.

What it covers
  • Meta & Instagram: campaign strategy, audience targeting, and ad creative designed by us
  • Google Search: keyword and search term selection, ad copy, bidding — these ads are text-based, so no creative design is needed
  • Landing page direction and lead capture setup
  • Ongoing optimisation and monthly reporting

Worth noting: creative design is included for Meta, and isn't part of Google Search — that's a format difference, not a scope cut.

₹30,000Per month · ad management

Ad spend is billed separately, paid directly into the Google Ads and Meta accounts as campaigns run.

benchmark

The Indian benchmark for high-ticket coaching is ₹800–2,000 per lead — so ₹224 came in around four times better.

Career counselling is a considered purchase, so the most recent cohorts haven't had time to close — conversion figures are still maturing. Full campaign report available on request.

04

SEO

Ranking on Google without paying for every click — the slower route, but the one that keeps working.

What it covers
  • Local SEO — profile, categories, name consistency, service pages, reviews
  • On-page optimisation across the website
  • Blog content, including plain-language articles for the symptoms people actually search
  • Backlink building from relevant sites
  • Technical fixes, tracking and monthly ranking reports

Why it matters here: almost nobody nearby writes in the words women actually use. That ground is open now.

₹25,000Per month

Taken together with lead generation, the two come to ₹45,000 a month rather than ₹55,000.

Why it
matters

These arrived through search results rather than ads — which means they keep arriving whether or not a campaign is running that month. Built through service pages, blog content and local search work.

Full reporting available on request.

05

Design collaterals

A one-time piece of work that sets the visual system, so everything after it stays consistent.

What it covers
  • Visual standardisation — a one-page guide covering colours, logo usage, spacing and how creatives should look
  • Canva templates so your team can make new designs that still look right
  • Sales brochure
  • Service brochures and flyers

What you end up with: consistency without needing a designer every time you want a post.

As requiredAd hoc

Costed against what you actually need and how many designs are involved — quoted before any work starts.

My work in this area

Brand guidelines, brochures, mood boards, signage and campaign creative — examples available on request.

06

Custom CRM

One place where every enquiry lives, so nothing gets lost between a message arriving and someone following up.

What it covers
  • Every lead from your campaigns captured automatically
  • Integrated with your website, so form submissions land in the same place
  • Stages, so you can see where each enquiry stands
  • Follow-up reminders so nobody is forgotten
  • Access on both mobile and desktop, plus a Telegram mini app
  • A central database you can use later to retarget and nurture

Built by us, shaped around how you work — not an off-the-shelf tool you have to adapt to.

₹800Per month

Included at no charge if you're running campaigns and SEO with us. If you want it customised to how your studio works, one-time customisation starts at ₹5,000 depending on scope.
