Basics of CRO
I want more people
who visit the site to
subscribe via email



          From my blog: http://moz.com/rand/
A) More People
    Visiting



   B) Higher
Conversion Rate
Let’s Improve the Call to Action!



This must be
the problem!
A/B Testing




We’ll show half our visitors one and
 half the other, and get a winner
Multivariate Testing




       We’ll show each version to a
  percentage of visitors and find a winner
Statistical Significance Testing




        Most testing platforms have this built in. If you need a generic one and some tips on
        statistical significance, Avinash’s post here has good stuff:
        http://www.kaushik.net/avinash/excellent-analytics-tip1-statistical-significance/
We Can Test Everything!
     Location on Page

       Display Width

         Box Color

   Address Verification

 Social Proof Inclusion     Different Versions Based
                               on User Behavior

                             Changing Messaging on
   Call-to-Action Copy
                          Different Types of Pages/Posts
That’s Not CRO
What if this isn’t the
    problem?
What if this is?
What if this guy is?
Discovery



                    Testing



                 Consideration
 CRO is about
  getting your
                 Conversion
customers from
  here to here
                     Subscriber for 3 Months


                     Subscriber for 6 Months


                    Subscriber for 12+ Months
Discovery



                    Testing



                 Consideration
 Great CRO is
about moving
                 Conversion
them here, too

                     Subscriber for 3 Months


                     Subscriber for 6 Months


                    Subscriber for 12+ Months
What’s in a Conversion Decision?
Likability
                                      Design     Branding
                                                               Historical Experiences
             Trust

                                                                         Social Proof
Word of Mouth

                                                                           Associations
 UX
                       CONVERSION DECISION                                      Price

      CTAs
                                                                                 Process

Copywriting                                                            Word of Mouth

         Timing                          Amount of Pain       Effort Required
                     Discovery Path
How Do We Find Out What Needs Optimizing?
Segment Our Visitors & Survey Them




        You can see a breakdown of our industry survey results here:
        http://www.seomoz.org/seo-industry-survey
Ask Smart Questions to the Right People
   Never Taken a          Took the Free Trial        Took the Free
      Free Trial                But Left           Trial and Stayed

What are you seeking       What made you take       What initially made
from SEOmoz? What’s          the free trial?        you want SEOmoz?
brought you back?
                           What objections did      What objections did
What would make you       you have and how did     you have and how did
more likely to sign up?   you overcome them?       you overcome them?

What are your biggest      What caused you to       What’s been most
objections to signup?      cancel subscription?     valuable to you?

                          What would have made     Had success w/ Moz?
                          you stay a subscriber?     Can we share?
This is How the Pros Do It:




                                                      Boom.




      From Conversion Rate Experts’ case study (which is definitely worth a read):

                                                      Boom.

                                            And Shakalaka.



      From Conversion Rate Experts’ case study (which is definitely worth a read):
      http://www.conversion-rate-experts.com/crazy-egg-case-study/
This process made SEOmoz $1mm in additional
revenue in 2009, when we desperately needed it.




             CRE detailed their results with us here: http://www.conversion-rate-

        Data from @jcolman of REI


          http://www.slideshare.net/jcolman/web-performance-optimization-the-silver-
          bullet-of-seo-and-ux
#2: Align Visitor Intent and Page Purpose




            From Avinash Kaushik’s post: http://www.kaushik.net/avinash/tips-for-
            improving-high-bounce-low-conversion-web-pages/
#3: Poor Design Negatively Impacts Everything




             Good place to find great designers: http://dribbble.com
#4: Know Your Tools




  This excellent resource lists 15 tools that can help better understand your
  visitors: http://www.conversion-rate-experts.com/understanding-your-visitors/
#5: Don’t Force Unnecessary Steps




         The $300mm button story is a great anecdotal piece on this:
         http://www.uie.com/articles/three_hund_million_button
#6: Concrete & Emotional > Abstract & Intellectual




              From this excellent infographic: http://www.zippycart.com/infographics/how-
              sales-messaging-affects-conversion-rates.html
#7: The Inclusion of “Free” Works




        From this excellent infographic: http://www.zippycart.com/infographics/how-
        sales-messaging-affects-conversion-rates.html
#8: More Product Detail + Better Presentation = WIN




              Zappos’ great videos and detailed images help make them a standout in the field of online
              retailing: http://www.zappos.com/puma-future-cat-remix-2-ferrari-dandelion-black-high-risk-red
#9: Video Works


30.0% to 33.2%
  increase in
conversion after
 the video was
added. (10% lift)




                http://www.commoncraft.com/common-craft-video-dropboxcom-effective
#9: But You Have to Optimize It




      Three must-read links on video for conversion: http://conversionxl.com/how-to-use-video-to-increase-
      conversions/, and the case study data for eParty: http://www.internetretailer.com/2011/02/22/videos-boost-online-
      profile-eparty-unlimited and for Premiere Game Tables: http://blog.treepodia.com/2011/03/ecommerce-video-roi-a-
      case-study/.
      I also highly recommend http://wistia.com which we use at Moz for video.
#10: Don’t Fall Into the Trap of Copying Others’ Results




      14% Increase in Sales                          20% Increase in Sales
