Editor's Notes
Let’s take a look at
http://professorlayton22.deviantart.com/art/SHE-HAD-TO-ASK-THE-AUDIENCE-482780485
My name is Adam Lundquist
Can reach me at the very creatively named twitter handle
I am the CEO of Nerds Do It Better as well as Majux paid search
I know we are supposed to do an interesting fact and mine is
Here are some of the places I have been featured - I tell you this so you know I may actually know what I am talking about
This presentation is divided into three parts
Problems with not using your audience insights to improve your landing page
The three ways to leverage audience insights to improve your landing page
Each has 3 sections of
why,
how
and a case study so you can get examples and actionable data.
I want you to be able to act upon this. Readily applicable
The conclusion - concludes the presentation
All case studies and citations are available at the end of the presentation so you can further review if you like
http://img.memecdn.com/99-problems_o_571979.jpg
DIfferent audiences respond to different marketing tactics and best practice is not always best for your audience
Here is a case study comes from the great blog conversionXL which looks the common practice of including trust symbols by the point of conversion which you can see with McAfee
Typically trust symbols make users feel safer while shopping
Users don’t always understand trust seals
Only effective when lack of credibility is what is holding down the conversions
Can introduce anxiety
This is an example of where including a trust symbol, which is commonly held as best practice decreased conversions by 1.6 percent

Demographics is quantitative data like you live in Philadelphia and psychographics are kind of self descriptors like you are a fan of the Red Sox
You are not your prospect so you do not know what they want to hear or how they want to hear it
http://unspokenpictures.com/funny-nickelback-concert-dolls-audience/
You are too close to the product, you may not know what your audience actually needs to hear to get your conversions
Don’t know the actual points of friction and the obstacles
Proximity blindness - you are too close to the experience
http://usabilityhour.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Jargon.png
Sir Smokes Alot
You want to use the user feedback to help formulate your hypothesis. Testing without a hypothesis is not very helpful
http://usabilityhour.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Jargon.png
You use Jargon - they may call your product something else
They have a different background and may understand words differently than you
They will tell you what is really important to them
The things you need to say and the order you need to say it
Here are some places to listen in
Amazon review mining
Go to Amazon and go to the book section, look at reviews and see the words and phrases users discuss about your subject
See how they speak on twitter
Look at your SQR reports and see the keywords they are using
Especially if you are using broad match or broad match modifier
Check out how they phrase questions and the answers that they respond to on Quora
The question and answer site on the Internet
This comes from Joanne Weibe (Jo Anna Weib) and the place I found it was Copyhackers
She listened in by doing amazon review mining
She was working with a rehab center called beachway
Went to amazon and looked up books about rehab
Read for 3-4 hours and looked not at the books themselves but at the reviews
Looked specifically at how users were talking about rehab
One comment in the reviews stood out more than others so she listened in to how her users were speaking and said it back to them in their exact same language
https://copyhackers.com/2014/10/amazon-review-mining/ - for the story
The headline on the homepage impacted sign ups on the next page
That is the power of listening in
Determine what areas are the most interesting
What people are looking to find
There is no Hawthorne effect
Change their behavior when they know they are being watched
Eye Tracking - Where a tool measures where the user is looking
Heat mapping - Looks at where the user clicks - this is a great way to see what users think are clickable elements that may not be - as you will see in your case study (that is called foreshadowing)
Can see the density of clicks in a given area
The device can make the difference as to how they navigate your landing page as well as their intent
Convert.com
Optimal Energy is a price comparison energy company in Poland
Had bad conversion rates and wanted to understand why customers were not converting
Used a click tracking heat map
Found that there were images that looked clickable, but were not. An insight that would need to come from watching a user
24% of clicks were on these unusable buttons
Changed the unclickable elements to clickable elements
http://blog.convert.com/use-click-tracking-heatmaps-to-improve-conversion-rates.html
Helps color in the full picture of the user's understanding
Will help you actually learn about your users.
Chat box companies like qualaroo, survey monkey
This case study comes from the blog of optimzely
TeeSpring is a tshirt design business with the unconventional model that allows for users to create and purchase tshirts for various causes and campaigns
Customers either create a t-shirt design and set up an order, or join an existing order.
There is an order goal, which determines the cost of each individual t-shirt. If the order minimum isn’t reached, the shirts are never printed and customers are never charged.
TeeSpring went about collecting user feedback to inform their testing roadmap using surveys from Qualaroo and SurveyMonkey
Ad hoc when it is required
https://blog.optimizely.com/2015/10/07/online-surveys/
When TeeSpring asked they found that users were confused about if they would actually get their shirts or if they would be charged
Ran a test this is the original - the variant was designed to assure the user that they would not be charged unless the order went through
https://blog.optimizely.com/2015/10/07/online-surveys/
12.7 conversion rate increase from asking their users
