/growth-at-scale

Scale what's working. Only use after finding traction.

Prerequisites

Before using this skill:

  1. /dashboard shows consistent traffic growth (3+ weeks)
  2. You know what's driving traffic (source analysis done)
  3. Conversion is happening (users signing up/paying)
  4. You're ready to invest time in growth infrastructure

If these aren't true, go back to experimentation with /announce, /post, /seo-baseline.

What This Does

Activates the full growth stack:

  1. Unified social posting - Multi-platform automation
  2. Paid ads - Google, Meta, Twitter campaigns
  3. Newsletter - Capture and nurture leads
  4. Referral program - User-driven growth
  5. Advanced analytics - Funnels, cohorts, attribution

Full Stack Overview

Layer 1: MCP Servers (API Automation)

Add to ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-ads": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@anthropic/mcp-google-ads"]
    },
    "meta-ads": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@anthropic/mcp-meta-ads"]
    },
    "social-media": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@anthropic/mcp-social-media"]
    },
    "hubspot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@anthropic/mcp-hubspot"]
    }
  }
}

When to Activate

Only activate growth-at-scale components when:

| Signal | Threshold | Action | |--------|-----------|--------| | Traffic growth | >50% WoW for 3 weeks | Consider ads | | Conversion happening | >1% signup rate | Add newsletter capture | | Users asking to share | Any | Add referral program | | Organic social working | Engagement >5% | Automate posting |

Anti-Patterns

Don't:

  • Set up newsletter before you have traffic
  • Run ads without knowing what converts
  • Automate posting before establishing voice
  • Add referral program without users

Do:

  • Build on what's already working
  • One channel at a time
  • Measure everything
  • Cut what doesn't work fast
