Research

Research is the critical part of landing page optimization services as we need to get actual data on how to increase conversion rates instead of guessing or blindly following the best practices.

We started with visitor session recordings, online surveys, and finding data to indicate why visitors weren’t converting with click maps.

According to the click maps, 18.72% of users were clicking on product images. That was a strong indicator that product information was missing.

Hypothesis: to add popup that opens after clicking on a product image

Then we asked users “What stops you from signing up?” to understand their rejections and concerns. This online survey had a 10-second time delay aiming to capture engaged users.

Here is the list of users’ objections according to 9,765 answers:

Hypothesis:to overcome price rejections by emphasizing lowest price in sale (“starting from $10”), discounts, and scarcity through using a countdown timer.
