Getting started

How many assessments does your business need to undertake? Would it benefit you to be able to measure different team’s performance and learn from each other through filling in multiple reports? Or would it be more effective to consider the entire organisation as a whole?

Who is best placed to fill in the assessment? Would it work better to fill this in individually or as a group - having gathered the right people to cover the full range of topics required?

Have you reviewed the Preparation Checklist? Do you have all the information you need and if not how can you get hold of it?

Who

How

Once you’ve figured this out, jump in and start the survey. Have a question along the way, find a helping hand at team-dmb@google.com.

Preparation checklist

How your marketing team is set up, how it works with other teams (such as media buying) and with external partners
How tailored messaging is on each of the channels you use
What technology platforms you use for marketing purposes such as data analysis, content management, insights generation, ad delivery and measurement
How you use data to create campaigns, ads and websites
How you monitor the quality and success of your marketing campaigns
How often you run marketing experiments or perform campaign audits
Which of your marketing processes are manual and which are automated
The effectiveness of your primary owned channels – in terms of loading speed and usability
How you build your audiences

The assessment needs to be filled in by a group or individual with a good overview of all aspects of your organisation's marketing. You can save as you go if you do need to pause to ask somebody else in your organisation for any answers.

Before you get started, make sure you have this information to hand:
