First 90 days of an EV content network: growth plan

Short answer

The first 90 days of a content network are the testing and calibration phase. Your provider builds the distribution infrastructure and tests your content to find what converts. Expect a ramp up period as they tune the system to deliver high volume traffic. By the end of this quarter, you will have a clear, data-driven channel that you can optimize for maximum growth.

Building the test bed

The first month is about getting the test bed ready. Your provider builds the pages, and you get the content flowing. This is a crucial phase where you need to be testing as many hooks as possible. Don't worry about perfect results yet; worry about getting a steady stream of data into your funnel. You want to see what is working and what is not, so you can start iterating immediately.

Analyzing the hooks

The second month is where you start to see the results of your tests. Which video hooks are driving the most clicks? Which ones are leading to site visits? This is the data you need. Use it to optimize your content strategy and double down on the winners. You should be constantly adjusting your approach based on what you are seeing. This is how you build a high-performing engine.

Scaling the engine

By the third month, you should have a solid, repeatable process. You know what works, and you are ready to scale. You can now start optimizing your landing pages and your content to drive even more growth. This is when the network becomes a true growth lever for your company. You have the data, the process, and the proof that it works. Now, it is time to scale.

Optimizing for conversion

Now that you have traffic, make sure you are converting it. The network is your discovery engine; your site is your conversion engine. Make sure they are perfectly aligned. By the end of the 90 days, you should have a clear, data-driven channel that is delivering consistent growth. You are now in a position to push for more, test new ideas, and take your EV brand to the next level.

Heads of growth should use the first 90 days to test hooks, iterate based on data, and build a high-performance, scalable organic channel.

Follow-up questions

How do I measure the success of the first 90 days

Measure by the number of clicks and the overall site traffic growth, and use the conversion data to identify the best performing content.

What is the biggest mistake during the first 90 days

Giving up too soon. The system needs time to learn and to calibrate. Be patient, stay focused, and keep testing.

How does this help my CAC

It lowers your CAC by providing a massive, low cost source of traffic that is outside of the paid ad auction.
