Know your MAA

Before your session, familiarize yourself with the MAA framework. Digital Marketer’s article on “How to Optimize Like a Pro” walks you through the idea: when we find things that are working, we sort through them to amplify results. Have your weekly MAA reports assembled and ready, whether you did them yourself or your team put them together.

What to have ready

Make sure your Content Library is accessible so we can identify your Greatest Hits and review their performance.

You’ll also want to be logged into your ad accounts, whether that’s Facebook Ads, Google Ads, YouTube Ads, Amazon Ads, or whatever platforms you’re running.

Finally, have your MAA reports on hand documenting what’s been working week over week.

What happens in the session

In a focused 30-minute session, we’ll start by reviewing what’s worked, looking at your top-performing content and ads. From there, we’ll tune and experiment, making adjustments to squeeze more value out of proven winners. Then we’ll generate new optimization ideas and identify the next tests to run.

This builds on your existing process

If you’ve been following the six-phase Content Factory process and documenting your work in Basecamp (or your project management tool of choice), you’re already doing weekly optimization. This session doesn’t replace that. It helps you go deeper and spot opportunities you may have missed.

Get started

Review the Digital Marketer article in advance, make sure your reports and ad accounts are accessible, and come ready to optimize. This is the most powerful thing you can do in all of digital marketing.
