Truecaller growth playbook

Add Scam Checker to the sitemap with a canonical and hreflang. Launch it in Portuguese, Spanish and Indonesian first, then Vietnamese, Malay and Hindi. Show community reports from the visitor's own country, and add a "get warned before you answer" install step after every check. Seed each language with the 10 most searched local scams (Pix scams in Brazil, for example), written by local editors from Truecaller's own report data. Track checks, installs and cost per install against paid acquisition in each market.

People search for scams at the moment they feel at risk, which is exactly when an app that blocks scams is most persuasive. Local-language tools and pages cost far less per install than paid ads, and the same kit can be reused for every new market the Head of Growth opens.

Agree one fact sheet (users, installs, paying users, countries, spam calls blocked) tied to the latest interim report, show it from one source on every page, and update it each quarter.

Consistent numbers build trust with partners and stop assistants quoting outdated figures.

Write each page's real last-changed date into the sitemap, split it into sitemaps by type (scam alerts, blog, product, language), and add every tool page.

Accurate dates help new scam alerts get crawled fast, which matters when a scam is spreading.

  Test on a sample first.

Add deferred deep links from each tool result and scam page to the app stores, carry the check (number or link type) into the first app session, and report installs, activation and 30-day retention for web-sourced users next to paid channels.

What gets measured gets budget; proving web cost per install is low justifies investing in it market by market.

• Attribution gaps on iOS

  Use modelled and aggregated measurement.

Define the kit: local scam content and Scam Checker, carrier or bank distribution partner, local PR from Truecaller data, paid acquisition with incrementality tests, and Premium pricing. Run it in Brazil and Indonesia, compare payback, then repeat.

A repeatable sequence lowers launch cost and makes results comparable across markets.

Run matched-region holdouts for each major channel in each market, publish an internal incrementality table, and move budget toward channels with proven lift.

Spend follows real lift, which lowers blended cost per retained user.

After a user blocks a scam, offer "protect your parents": send an invite link that installs Truecaller with the inviter's blocklist and adds them to a free family trial. Measure invites, installs and Family upgrades.

Worry about family members is a strong reason to share, and every accepted invite is a new user.
