Getting Started — Social Growth Dashboard

Copy the Template to Your Google Drive

Open the Social Growth Dashboard template link and click "Use Template" or "Make a Copy" to create your own editable version in Google Drive.

Set Up Your Gemini API Key

In your copied sheet, go to the menu: 🚀 Social Growth → ⚙️ Setup API Key. Paste your Google Gemini API key (get one free at aistudio.google.com).

Tip: The key is stored securely in your spreadsheet's PropertiesService — only you can access it.

Authorize Google Apps Script Permissions

When you run the wizard for the first time, Google will ask you to "Review Permissions". Click through, select your account, then Allow the requested access.

⚠️ Note: You may see an "Unverified app" warning. Click Advanced → Go to [Your Sheet Name] (unsafe) — this is safe because it's YOUR spreadsheet running YOUR script.

Run the AI Wizard

Go to 🚀 Social Growth → 🧙‍♂️ Start Wizard (full strategy) or ⚡ Quick-Start Wizard (dashboard + calendar + action plan only, ~15 seconds).

Answer the 4-6 questions about your niche, platform, audience, and goals. The AI will generate a complete 40-tab strategy dashboard customized to your business.

Explore Your 40-Tab Dashboard

Once generation completes, explore your new tabs: Dashboard (overview & KPIs), Content Calendar (15-day plan), Action Plan (daily tasks), and 37 more strategy, tracking, and automation tabs.

⚡ Quick-Start Mode: Results in 15 Seconds

If you want immediate results without the full wizard, use 🚀 Social Growth → ⚡ Quick-Start Wizard. This generates only the 3 most critical tabs:

✓ Dashboard — Overview, KPIs, progress tracking
✓ Content Calendar — 15-day AI-generated content plan
✓ Action Plan — Daily tasks to execute your strategy

You can always run the Full Wizard later to generate all 40 tabs.
