There are two ways you can begin to use this information to help you make better decisions for how your business spends time online.

OPTION 1:  Set aside time at the end of each month to pull your reports. Then asses what worked and what didn't. This way you can tweak your efforts for the following month. *With Google Analytics you can even send yourself end of the month reports.

OPTION 2: Pull your reports at the end of each month and assess what worked and what did not during the second to last week of the quarter. This option allows you to continue to test your goals for a three month period, which gives a more broad understanding of your audience.

Whichever option you choose, my suggestion is to use a spreadsheet to get a high-level view of what you are tracking. I recommend creating a spreadsheet with tabs to keep track of your weekly social media growth, email campaigns and monthly reporting based on your sales strategy. Dropbox is a great option to store all of your google analytics reports in one place. 

At first, this will all feel a bit much, but I promise once you start digging into the data, it will begin to make more sense and give you a clearer understanding of how your marketing goals are working to grow or scale your business.

Until next time.
