Start with audience behavior
Ask where your buyers already look for information, solutions, recommendations, or entertainment. The best channel is the one that reaches the right people in the right context.
Separate intent levels
Search traffic can carry explicit problem or product intent, while social and display channels often require more demand creation. The landing experience should reflect that difference.
Match economics to channel
Customer value, margins, conversion rate, and sales cycle affect how much acquisition cost a funnel can sustain.
Build one reliable channel first
Spreading a small budget across many channels can make learning difficult. Develop a repeatable process before adding complexity.
Measure downstream outcomes
Clicks are not the business goal. Track how each source contributes to qualified leads, sales, activation, or another real outcome.
