Float growth playbook

Publish French "Float ou Desjardins" and "Float ou Banque Nationale" pages first, then French versions of the TD, BMO, CIBC and Scotiabank comparisons. Open a French blog with the 20 articles that bring the most sign-ups in English, adapted for Quebec (QST, Revenu Québec, Bill 96), plus a French edition of the AI report. Route French sign-ups and demo requests to the bilingual CSM and track Quebec as its own funnel.

Bank comparisons are where "ditch the bank" buyers decide, and the French sales and support team is already being hired. French pages also reach Quebec searches and AI assistant answers where few spend-management rivals publish in French, and Ramp is not available there by Float's own account.

  Cite each bank's public fees and date every page.

Give each page a "Float vs TD: business accounts and corporate cards compared" title and a description with the key differences (CDIC-insured yield, 0.25% FX, unlimited cards), check every comparison and transit page for duplicate titles, and add a title check to the publishing checklist.

It is a one-hour fix on two of the highest-intent pages Float has, for buyers already comparing their bank.

• Transit pages lose traffic

  Keep their titles; only the comparison pages change.

• Your websitePage titles (October 23, 2026): /compare/td is titled "Find TD Transit, Routing and Institution Number | Float" and /compare/scotiabank "Find Scotiabank Transit, Routing and Institution Number | Float", with the transit-number descriptions; the page content is "Why finance teams choose Float over TD". /compare/bmo and /compare/cibc have proper "Float vs" titles.

Add the missing pages, replace redirecting French URLs with their final French slugs, and generate the sitemap from published pages so new launches are included automatically.

Search engines find and refresh launch pages faster, which matters during the Payments launch.

• Webflow limits

  Use the CMS sitemap settings or a custom sitemap.

• Your websiteSitemap hygiene: /payments (the new Float Payments page announced in the site banner), /canada-ai-spending-report, /product-updates and /compare/keep are linked from the homepage but missing from the sitemap; 16 of the 63 French URLs in the sitemap redirect (for example /fr/mobile-app to /fr/application-mobile).

The report is in English only (/fr/canada-ai-spending-report returns 404) and the French homepage links to the English page. The AI Spend product page cites different figures: "18x AI spend growth" and "279% year over year" from "over 6,000 Canadian businesses (May 2024–July 2026)".Source

Pick the current figures, update the AI Spend page, ads and sales decks to match, and date each figure with its source window.

Consistent numbers build credibility with finance teams and journalists.

Build "Float vs RBC" on the same template as BMO and CIBC, in English and French, with a link from the RBC transit-number page.

It fills the largest gap in the bank comparison set with very little work.

Find customers who use cards but not bill pay, send a Braze sequence and in-app prompt showing free EFT and ACH, invoice extraction and QST/GST coding, and give CSMs a one-page talk track. Measure attach rate.

Selling a new product to existing customers is the cheapest growth, and payments raise switching costs.

Score self-serve accounts on employee count, cards issued, accounting sync, monthly spend and user invites. Above a threshold, send to an ISR within a day with context; below it, keep them in Braze nurture.

Sales time goes to accounts that are already growing on Float, raising conversion to Professional and spend.

Connect HubSpot, Salesforce, Braze and product data so every channel reports sign-ups, activated accounts and 120-day spend. Shift budget monthly to channels with the best spend per dollar.

Budget follows revenue, and CAC payback can be measured honestly.

For each target account, build a one-page case: estimated cashback, FX savings on USD spend, interest on balances and hours saved, with peers in their industry. AEs send it with an invite to a peer dinner.

A personal case answers the CFO's first question and makes the AE's outreach worth reading.
