By analysing the keywords, we can interpret below
OLA:
Ola campaigns are very focussed on OLA and doesn’t completely leverage the
power of wide variety of campaigns and keyword that users are searching on the
internet.
It is using keywords which have OLA in the keyword assuming that users will be
perform that specific search. It is not leveraging the monthly search volume
Ather:
Ather has leveraged wide variety of keywords and has also kept it generic to fuel
the organic search results. Ex. Electric, scooter,
It also talks about smart, make in India, quick, feature rich, etc. Hence its find
more buyers from the organic searches. The monthly visits and unique visitors are
more.
Most of the high-volume keywords as found in the key word planner are used by
Ather.
Current: AD campaign
OLA:
OLA Ads are very focussed on the joining the revolution and ease of booking with
less upfront payment. It doesn’t leverage the owner of wide variety of keywords
or positioning as Ather. It doesn’t highlight any features but its more directed to
the user which are “Open for new experiences”

It feels like Ather is running multiple Campaigns. The keyboards can broadly be
divided into high level categories like
- General Electric/scooter/bikeo Keywords such as electric bike, scooter, e-
bike, electric cycle, etc
- Specific Ather marketingo Keywords which are focussed on Ather 450x as

Targeting:
Undifferentiated Targeting strategy:
We would recommend starting with Undifferentiated marketing strategy for
OLA. Undifferentiated marketing with target the whole mkt with one offer.
Focusing on common needs rather than what’s different. The primary reason for
undifferentiated marketing strategy is
- Ola is just entering the EV business
- Has only 1 product to offer – OLA scooter.
- Wants to have PAN India/Global presence.
Differentiated marketing strategy
They need to then quickly then create differentiated experiences for different
markets and we recommend to move to Differentiated Targeting strategy. It
will target several different market segments and designs separate offers for
each different markets and consumers. Eg. Different strategies for different
markets like US/Germany/APAC/etc. Pro model and Premium model will also
have
different targeting strategy.
Positioning:
Product Differentaton
The product is different and its just not like any other EV scooters in the market,
different design , different features, Its superior product than any compettors out
there.
Service Differentaton
The most important difference is on the service. The charging statons to support
the product needs to be highlighted since its an important differentator. The tes
with different service providers, own service centers, etc
Image Differentaton
OLA needs to focus on also how they are different from other brands which are in
same space. Ex Hero, Ather. It should focus on highlightng snippets which are
important and sets them aside then others.
