State of Search in Indian BFSI Industry: What Brands Must Do Now!

Connect with our experts now directly for a 1:1 call: https://bit.ly/4nTu2ne Yash Kashid, Group Head SEO Strategy at FTA Global, takes us into one of the most important shifts happening in India’s BFSI search landscape. Search behavior across credit cards, loans, insurance and investments is changing faster than most brands realize. With AI overviews, LLM responses, app ecosystems and vernacular discovery rising sharply, the old keyword first SEO playbook no longer works. In this session, Yash breaks down how discovery has moved beyond Google’s ten blue links. We explore how branded queries are declining, non branded demand is reshaping category expectations and why semantic search is replacing traditional exact match optimization. The talk highlights how queries like best debit cards and best credit cards are now driving intent more than older seed terms. We also unpack shifts in category level volumes, app versus web search behavior, and the rise of near me and hyperlocal queries across metros and tier 2 and tier 3 cities. From vernacular content to category wide opportunity mapping, the session shows why brands need to evolve from ranking pages to owning surfaces. Yash explains how BFSI discovery now lives across YouTube, Reddit, Quora, AI overviews and app stores. We explore why aggregators dominate visibility, how AIO citations are shaping top of funnel discovery and why traditional SEO alone cannot protect BFSI brands in 2025. The talk highlights real numbers, emerging formats and multimodal signals driving visibility. We close with strategic bets BFSI brands cannot afford to ignore. Vernacular scaling, structured data for AI citations, hyperlocal landing pages, comparison assets, off page visibility systems and multimodal content built for retention and revenue. A grounded view on what it takes to stay discoverable in an era where search is fragmented, contextual and increasingly AI mediated.
