Research competitor channels, messaging, and positioning to identify underserved opportunities and differentiation strategies in your market
Calculate customer acquisition cost (CAC), lifetime value (LTV), payback periods, and break-even analysis for each channel to guide investment decisions
Use impact/effort scoring to prioritize which channels to test first, which to scale, and which to minimize based on your current stage and resources
Model how different channels interact in the customer journey and determine optimal budget allocation across your channel portfolio
Structure channel experiments with clear hypotheses, success metrics, sample sizes, and timelines to validate new acquisition approaches
Diagnose why acquisition channels underperform and develop targeted optimization tactics for each channel's specific constraints
Create actionable 90-day plans with channel experiments, scaling milestones, and key decisions tied to specific metrics and dates
Example Output
Channel Evaluation Output:
- Paid Search: High intent, $45 CAC, 3.2x LTV ratio → Scale immediately
- Content Marketing: Long-tail SEO, $12 CAC, 8.5x LTV ratio → Strategic priority
- LinkedIn Ads: Mid-market B2B, $85 CAC, 2.1x LTV ratio → Test and optimize
Priority Matrix:
- Double down: Organic referral program (high ROI, low cost)
- Scale fast: Paid search conversion rate optimization
