Conversion Optimisation describes the process of continually reviewing, testing and refining the elements of a website that will help to increase the conversion rate of visitors to enquiries or orders.
As a marketing technique, conversion optimisation is becoming ever more important as the online market becomes more crowded and the cost of obtaining visitors increases. By optimising a website to improve the conversion rate, the cost per action or the ROI (Return on Investment) can be improved, which in turn allows the marketing spend to be increased and, often, market share increased.
Website analytics has an important role to play in the conversion optimisation process. By providing information on the traffic sources of visitors to the website, and the how these visitors interact with the site, analytics can give valuable insights into what is, or isn’t, working so well online. This data can also indicate what elements of a marketing campaign, or which parts of the website, might need to be tested to help improve conversion rates.
Using conversion optimisation for better results
At Web Analytics Workshop we can work with you to review your website analytics data and to develop the landing page optimisation of your site to improve conversion rates. This may involve the use of a testing programme, such as Google Analytics Experiments, or the implementation of design or content changes on the main pages, or on duplicated pages, of your website to test assumptions and to target better conversion rates.
Ultimately, every dollar that’s been spent on your website and your online marketing needs to work harder. Through a constant process of conversion optimisation over time, you can identify what elements work best for your target market, and thereby improve the cost-effectiveness of your online marketing activity.
