LTV:CAC
What we did
- Significantly increased paid-social creative velocity
- Implemented rich data signals for paid-algorithm optimization
- Restructured and optimized the checkout flow
- Ran pricing strategy and testing
- Introduced an annual plan and validated the structure across annual-only, annual + monthly, and monthly-only
- Tested higher price points to lift LTV while holding conversion
Benchmarking each stage of the acquisition funnel against the UX of established products made a handful of quick-win opportunities obvious: more creative velocity for paid social, richer data signals for the paid algorithms, a cleaner checkout flow, and pricing aligned to the value users actually received. Prioritizing those four drove a sharp jump in revenue trajectory and profitability.
