Guides FAQ

Who are the guides written for?

Business owners and small marketing teams who are not specialists. Each guide explains terms in plain language and shows the logic behind each step, with no prior experience of analytics or ad platforms assumed.

Where should I start?

With tracking if you are unsure your data is reliable, since every other decision depends on it. If tracking is sound, move to the ads path for profitability or the organic path for search and site improvements.

Do the guides include real benchmarks?

They use formulas, checklists and clearly labeled hypothetical examples, with no invented statistics. Your own margins, prices and conversion data matter more than averages, so the guides show you how to calculate your own numbers.

Can I get help applying a guide?

Yes. Many guides end with a related service, such as an audit, that you can run with credits on a Dynamic Growth plan. You can also follow a guide on your own and never use a service.
