Keyword Ideas for Coaches: CALL, CLARITY, APPLY

Coaching sells through conversations, so your keywords should move people towards one. Use CLARITY for a free worksheet, CALL for a discovery call booking, and APPLY for a programme application. Viralyze sends a different DM for each keyword, and the CALL keyword can hand out a booking page that respects your Google Calendar, so no two clients land in the same slot.

Why three tiers instead of one "LINK" keyword?

Because a coaching audience is at three different temperatures. Someone who just found you wants something free and quick. Someone who has watched ten reels is ready to talk. Someone who has been following for months may be ready to commit to a 12-week programme. One keyword for everyone either underasks or overasks. Three keywords let the viewer self-select.

The CLARITY keyword: a worksheet that collects an email

Post a reel on a common sticking point, for example "Why you procrastinate on the work that matters", and end with "Comment CLARITY for the one-page exercise". The DM: "Here is the clarity worksheet, 10 minutes with a pen 👇 [lead magnet link]. Reply with your top answer if you want my take." The lead magnet page collects the email, and the person lands in your contacts with the reel as the source tag.

The CALL keyword: what should the booking page look like?

Keep it to one or two services so there is no decision fatigue. A sample menu:

• Discovery call, 20 minutes, Google Meet, free
• Strategy session, 60 minutes, Google Meet, ₹2,500

Connect Google Calendar once, mark which calendars block slots, add a 15-minute buffer and days off, and clients only see real availability. The DM for CALL: "Glad you commented CALL. Pick a time that suits you here: [booking link]. You will get a Meet link in the calendar invite." Payment for the paid session is taken upfront by UPI or card, and WhatsApp reminders go out before the call.

The APPLY keyword: filtering for high-ticket programmes

Not everyone who comments APPLY is a fit, and that is the point. Send a DM with a link to your programme page, including the price range and the start date, and ask one qualifying question in the message itself: "Reply with the one result you want in 90 days." Replies land in the Viralyze Inbox with the original comment attached, so you can read the context and reply inside Instagram's 24-hour window. People who answer thoughtfully get the booking link for an enrolment call.

Concrete example: a career coach's three-keyword reel

A career coach posts "3 signs you are underpaid" with the caption "Comment CLARITY for the salary audit sheet, CALL to talk it through, or APPLY for the Negotiation Sprint (starts 1 November)". In one Viralyze automation she adds all three keywords, writes three DMs, and schedules the automation to start with the next post and auto-pause on 31 October when the cohort closes. The funnel afterwards shows 140 comments matched, most on CLARITY, a smaller number on CALL, and a handful on APPLY, which is the shape you want: broad at the top, narrow at the bottom.

Other coach keywords worth testing

• AUDIT: a short self-assessment PDF.
• SCRIPT: a word-for-word template, for example a salary negotiation script.
• WAITLIST: a lead magnet for the next cohort when the current one is closed.
• REPLAY: a workshop recording sold as a digital download at 0% platform fee.

Avoid vague words like "YES", "ME" and "INFO". They get high comment counts but weak intent, and your funnel will show lots of delivered DMs with few clicks.

Frequently asked questions

**Can I use the same CALL keyword on every reel I post?** Yes. Choose the "comments on any post" trigger so CALL works on every reel and story reply without setting it up each time.

**What happens if a client needs to reschedule?** The confirmation page lets them reschedule or cancel if you allow it, and the Google Calendar event updates on both sides.

**Do coaches outside India get the same setup?** Yes. Viralyze works internationally with USD pricing, and card payments work alongside UPI.
