You don't "optimize for analytics", you optimize for an objective that you are measuring through analytics. If you are simply following your gut then you simply don't have a quantitative objective.
Note that Im not saying that not having a strategy is not a valid strategy per se, I'm just pointing out that analytics is a means to an end.
