Strategy & Planning
- Define one primary metric of success before launching any campaign
- Know your actual cost-per-acquisition target before setting a budget
- Audit your competitors quarterly, not once a year
- Build a 90-day plan before a 12-month one — priorities shift fast
- Align marketing goals directly with sales and business goals
- Don't chase every new platform — go deep on 2-3 channels first
SEO & Content
- Write for search intent first, keyword density second
- Update and re-optimize old content — it's often faster ROI than new content
- Never skip meta titles and descriptions, even on minor pages
- Build internal links between related pages consistently
- Claim and fully complete your Google Business Profile
- Compress images — page speed is a ranking and conversion factor
Paid Advertising
- Match landing page messaging exactly to ad messaging
- Set up conversion tracking before you spend a single rupee
- Test one variable at a time so you know what actually worked
- Build remarketing audiences from day one, even before you need them
- Review search term reports weekly to cut wasted spend
Analytics & Reporting
- Track leads and revenue, not just clicks and impressions
- Set up GA4 and Tag Manager properly before scaling spend
- Build one central dashboard instead of checking five platforms
- Review performance monthly at minimum — ideally weekly during active campaigns
