A launch plan for Clearidy
Prepared by Elevate Growth Solutions

Launch the brand people 50+ didn't know they were waiting for.

A national brand and product launch built like a startup should build it: message first, measurement second, media third, and nothing scaled until it has earned it. No fear-based marketing. No wasted dollars.

Prepared for Lori Selsberg, Co-Founder & CEOBy Tysen Creager, Founder
Clearidy×Elevate Growth Solutions
Clearidy brings clarity to life's important information.
We bring the plan to put it in front of the people who need it.
The big idea

Clearidy isn't about preparing to die. It's about being the person who has it together.

Know what you have. Understand what it means. See what's missing. That is a benefit people feel today, while they are healthy and in charge. The "people you love" payoff is real, and it closes every message, but it never opens one. That single rule is what makes the category feel useful instead of heavy, and it is how we create urgency without fear.

1

Lead with capability

Find any document in seconds. Understand what your policy actually covers. Walk into an advisor meeting knowing what to ask.

2

Use life moments, not end-of-life moments

Retirement, downsizing, a new grandchild, a spouse taking over the finances. People act at these moments, and none of them require talking about dying.

3

Make it a project, not a reckoning

A 20-minute readiness assessment. A score. A checklist. Getting organized is satisfying; we sell the satisfying part.

4

Earn the emotional close

After the practical benefit: "and the people you love will never have to guess." The founders' own story carries this better than any ad.

Who we reach first

Not "everyone over 50." The people who are ready right now.

Three segments, in priority order. The first gets the majority of early budget; the third is deliberately deferred until the funnel is proven.

01

The Household Organizer

52–68 · caring for a parent

Manages the family's paperwork and has just lived through the chaos of a parent's documents. Highest pain awareness, highest intent to act, most likely to tell friends.

02

The Recent Retiree Couple

62–70 · "getting affairs in order"

Retirement is a natural, non-morbid trigger with a built-in season: Medicare open enrollment. Time, motivation, and more documents than anyone.

03

The Adult Child Buyer

40–55 · later

Real demand, but the buyer isn't the user, which creates onboarding friction. We test a "set it up together" angle in days 61–90 rather than lead with it.

The first 90 days

Build the machine. Find the signal. Scale what works.

A startup launch is a sequence of small, measurable bets that earn the right to a bigger budget, not one big moment.

Days 1–30

Build the machine

  • Positioning & messaging platform from 8–12 real customer interviews
  • Custom-coded landing pages built for 50+ readability
  • Measurement wired to paid subscriptions, not just clicks
  • 12–40 ad variants incl. founder-led video
  • Media used only to test messages
Days 31–60

Find the signal

  • Structured tests on Meta, Google Search, YouTube & creators
  • Earned media timed to National Estate Planning Awareness Week
  • Weekly kill / scale decisions; new creative every week
  • Landing-page A/B tests on the readiness-assessment offer
  • First SEO & AI-search content cluster live
Days 61–90

Concentrate & scale

  • 70%+ of media into the top two channel-and-message combos
  • Retargeting & lifecycle email aimed at trial-to-paid
  • Activate the built-in "invite a trusted person" growth loop
  • Partner channel (advisors, banks, employers) prepped for Q1
  • Day-90 decision brief: channels, CAC, Q1 budget

Media earns its way up

Recommended-tier paid media by month. Spend grows only when a channel's cost per paid customer is inside the target we set together in week one.

Where we place the first bets

Where the 50+ consumer already is, and already asking.

Not every channel. Four to five initial bets, ranked by expected contribution in the first 90 days.

01 · PRIMARY

Paid social (Facebook & Instagram)

The best place to reach and test messages with adults 50+. Fast learning cycles, lookalikes from existing users.

02

Paid search (Google)

Captures intent phrased as problems: "what documents do I need," "digital vault," competitor names. Lower volume, high intent.

03

Email & lifecycle

Owned, trusted, and where trial-to-paid actually happens. We routinely see 33–54% open rates with these audiences.

04

SEO & AI-search visibility

Compounding. Plain-English answers to the questions people ask Google, and increasingly ChatGPT, before they know the category exists.

05

Founder-led & earned media

An attorney-founder with a real story is Clearidy's most credible asset. Podcasts and newsletters for retirees and caregivers are receptive and cheap.

06 · RECOMMENDED TIER

YouTube & creator partnerships

Pre-roll on retirement and caregiving content, plus 4–6 micro-creators tested in days 31–60. Scale one or two.

How we'll know it's working

We report the numbers that tie to paying customers.

One dashboard connected to your ad accounts, analytics, and subscription data. And a standing rule: when a platform's "conversions" can't be reconciled to real ones, we say so.

Monthly report + video walkthrough

Plain English. Results, decisions, next month's plan.

Day 30 / 60 / 90 decision reviews

Structured recommendations so the founders can make budget calls with confidence.

Proof · 01

Estate planning, sold to the 50+ consumer, where trust is the purchase.

Voyant Legal is a multi-office estate-planning firm. When we started in May 2026, Core Web Vitals were failing, analytics were undercounting organic traffic roughly 30 to 1, and core service pages ranked 101+.

We rebuilt the technical foundation in 30 days, then ran conversion-focused pages, plain-English FAQ content, four Google Business Profiles, and monthly reporting. When Google wrongly flagged the site and killed their Local Services Ads, we found the root cause and got them restored.

Proof · 02

Creating demand for something nobody was searching for.

Gardner Energy, a Utah solar installer, wanted service revenue from 3,500 past customers and 500 with known system issues. Nobody searches for a "solar performance check," so the need had to be surfaced.

We designed the whole campaign: two segments with distinct messaging, a six-email phased sequence with A/B subject lines, direct mail with QR codes to dedicated landing pages, and an AI-assisted reply-triage system. The most telling result: the client asked us to pause week-four outreach so their team could catch up on inquiries.

Proof · 03

A considered, trust-based purchase by affluent 55+ travelers.

Dressler Detours sells expert-led small-group educational tours: high-ticket, discretionary, and bought on trust. We've run their SEO, authority building, Google Business Profile, email to 1,000+ subscribers, and content since January 2026.

On the same account, an early paid-search campaign reported hundreds of platform "conversions" that couldn't be reconciled to bookings. We told the client, paused it, and rebuilt attribution around real inquiries and deposits. We'd rather have that conversation than send a flattering report.

Two ways to launch responsibly. One we recommend.

You asked us not to ask for a budget, so here's what we believe is realistically required. Media is billed at cost with no markup, and Clearidy owns every account and all the data from day one.

The person writing this plan is the person who builds your messaging, landing pages, media, and reports. No handoffs. No junior team after the sales process.

Why Elevate Growth Solutions

Senior attention, category experience, and honest numbers.

We already market to your customer

Estate planning, retirees, homeowners: we speak to the 50+ consumer every week and know what makes them act, and what makes them leave.

Founder-led, no handoffs

Decisions in days, not weeks. More of your budget goes to media and learning instead of agency overhead.

Strategy and execution, in-house

Positioning, custom-coded pages, paid media, SEO, email, analytics, and reporting from one desk. Nothing gets lost in translation.

Measurement you can trust

One dashboard tied to paid subscribers, and a track record of telling clients when a number isn't real.

Next step

Let's talk it through.

A 45-minute conversation to walk the plan, then a working session with the founders to align on brand architecture, pricing, and the CAC target. We can kick off within a week of selection.
