What company/person do you recommend for improving conversion rates on landing pages?
-
Hello! I'm looking for specific recommendations of companies with whom you have been "Tickled pink at fantastic conversion improvement results!"
I'm the customer for this service.
I seek a page-level review of a specific area of my site. I'm looking for output of specific recommendations for improving conversion rates. I want to avoid paying for a "generic best practices report" with one or two ideas for my site sprinkled in.
I realize that I will be called to complete proper input into the process. I am ready to do my share with the level of detail required.
So, if you have an enthusiastic recommendation, please share. Details are appreciated. Most important, please tell me why this company made you very happy.
I sincerely look forward to SEOMozzer input. Thank you kindly, Loren

What is the cost for something like this?
-
We sent them URLs for pages that we wanted to improve along with our objectives and concerns. They reviewed those pages in advance of a small webinar where we both looked at the pages on screen.
They told us what they would change and marked up the screen with suggestions. All of this was recorded so we did not have to take notes and could watch the recording later as many times as we want.
They started at home page and gave us comments... went onto sales page and gave us comments.... went into shopping cart and gave us comments.
We looked at sample pages from other websites to compare how others have optimzied. We looked at what sitetuners is doing on their own website to see how they optimize.
After this meeting we spent a few days making changes then had another webinar to review.
We did this on pages that receive a very small number of conversions per month where it could take a very long time to get enough data for meaningful decisions. We applied similar changes to other parts of our site and believe that we are making more sales. (This in my opinion is one of the most valuable things about the service. When you have high value conversions that don't occur very often you can get expert advice on how to optimize the page - without letting an A/B test run for months. Surely their guesses are going to be a lot better than mine!)

For small one-on-one consulting, they wont be the go to people. They do large long term engagements over long periods of time. They would be more of a free resource for webinars (which are fantastic) that can pretty much teach you everything you would need to know to do it yourself.

Hello Brad and EGOL,
Site Tuners popped up several times as a recommendation. I've given them a call and chatted with Jay (sales). I could not get a strong feel for the actual process. I was led back to the site during the call (which I studied carefully before I contacted them) which did not offer more information than I already understood.
Maybe I was "off my game" during the call.
Brad, since you have used them before an were happy with Site Tuners, I'd like to ask you a few questions. Please indulge me.
-
What were the best 2-3 things about the experience/process?
-
What were the measurable results?
-
What were things where they could improve (or rubbed you the wrong way) in the process?
And, I must ask because personal interaction sometimes makes/breaks the experience: **Were there specific people that really "wowed" you in the process? ** I'd love to know because in the call, the sales person referred to the "team" and wouldn't talk about individuals and strengths/availability. While I understand that sales approach, it's very much about the person to whom I am assigned.
**Thanks for the details. ** Follow up wisdom would be wonderful. Kindly, Loren

Great suggestion Brent. I am somewhat familiar with http://www.optimizely.com/ -- who seems to be a competitor to http://visualwebsiteoptimizer.com/ .
Do you have input on why one may be better than the other? Kindly, Loren

Thanks Ryan. I've queued up time to study some webinars. I called them to chat about the research partnership. I'm unsure it's their core business practice for one-on-one efforts. Yet, I'll let you know what happens when their sales people reach me.

I second this. We have used Site Tuners a few times now with great results.
Each time we did a 90 min express review and got a full 1 on 1 conference call with a landing page optimisation specialist. The call is recorded and they will help you with (a few) follow up emails to clarify any points. They even reviewed our on-site changes after the call as part of the 90 min package. Well worth it.

Go to MarketingExperiments.com. They are the sister company/research arm of Marketing Sherpa. I have been in the industry for a long time and they are the best conversion/landing page optimization firm around.
You can browse through their library of webinars (100's of them) where they present case studies, tests and results every month from random conversion optimization projects. You can learn a ton by watching their webinars.

That is my expertise so I never have had to hire one. The most basic thing to remember is

MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE TO SEPARATE YOUR VISITOR FROM HIS MONEY OR INFORMATION

ASSUME IT IS THE FIRST TIME THE PERSON VIEWING YOUR WEBSITE HAS EVER USED A COMPUTER
Follow that to start with and you will double conversions. That was free the rest well...:)

I have had great luck with http://visualwebsiteoptimizer.com/ but they are more of an A/B testing company. What I found useful is their blog. I think you will find your answers in there.

Bounce rate vs main domain and subdomain
So there is a website www.domainname.com that is based on wordpress. Basically this site has 8-10 pages but it is not a blog. And it has a subdomain mystore.domainname.com which is based on magento. While developing the site the circumstances were such that we had to use a subdomain for ecommerce based on magento. So the wp site is ranking and people are landing on that site. It makes sense when it has a bounce rate of around 72% because people are actually going to the subdomain ( store ) after they land on the wp site. Because they are actually looking to buy. My question is will this bounce rate affect in ranking of the wp site ? Because for now only the wp site is ranking for most of the terms. Should i consider removing the wp site and have the whole site based on magento ? I appreciate any kind of feedback and suggestion 🙂

Conversion Suggestions or Ideas
Late last year we did an overhaul of our website. We didn't change we did or what we sell just the format and overall look. What used to work for Adwords and Adcenter conversions doesn't seem to work as well on the new site. Any suggestions on where I should start to turn this around?

Adwords Conversion Optimiser
OK Mozers! Here's the situation (my parents went away on a weeks vacation...) • I am managing an online furniture retail website Infurn .com • Our budget is 500 euro per day and we need basically 20% cost per sale and im hovering at 30 - 35% • I recently was given the opportunity to participate in The Conversion Optimiser which allows you to set a desired CPA and Google works its magic geting you that target by adjusting your bids accordingly using historical campaign data. • Is this something I should use? Or should I continue to hone my ad groups, bids, products, landing pages, and ad copy until I reach my 15 - 20% CPA goal? Thanks!

Create better conversion at checkout?
I'm getting extremely poor conversion rates at checkout..would like to hear some ideas to increase checkout. Last month we had 60 users who added to cart, and only 7 who converted. We offer merchant CC, PayPal, and GCO, so I don't believe payment options is the reason for the exit. Any ideas?

Conversion optimization with Optimizely, impact on SEO
I am looking into signing up with www.optimizely.com for conversion testing. They put scripting on my site which will then redirect half of my site visitors to an alternate home page. The site I want to test on is ranking quite well with Google and I do not want to hurt my rankings. And with this set up,what Google will think is my home page is not and so I am essentially sending visitors to a different page than Google reads as my home page in source code. So, my concern is whether this will have a negative impact on my SEO rankings to redirect 50% of site visitors to a different page using this testing tool? I would use Google Web Site Optimizer, but many of my sites are in Wordpress and it seems that Wordpress and web site optimizer are not so compatible. Advice would be appreciated. Thank you, Robert

Low conversion rate, high ticket item... but not THAT high
Oh great mozzers, I fall at your feet... I feel like I'm going insane... My client, 35 Degrees (http://35DegreesSteaks.com) is quite the mystery. I handle SEO and paid search for them, and we're doing great in those areas... however, we're just not seeing the conversions once I deliver these folks to the site. The people are targeted, the keywords are sound, and from what I can see, the checkout process isn't a mess... but they are just not getting the sales. We're currently starting to test some price points with some newer, lower cost "intro packages", so we'll see if that's one of the pain points. I'm also in the process of convincing them to include a Verisign or some other logo in the checkout process. However, I was hoping the great minds here could take a quick look and see if I'm missing anything else. Thanks in advance! Jeff

Using overlay content on landing pages - possible? recommended?
We want to use an overlay, like a modal dialog, in a landing page to show more information to support conversion without linking to another page or using popups. Anyone have any stats on success or risks? We've considered simple roll-overs to provide some more info, but everyone has raised alarms that we may be introducing a potential technical or usability hurdle for users. The overlay would display when someone rolled over or clicked a "Learn More" link on the page to provide additional offer reinforcement points to drive the visitors from consideration to conversion. Aside from our own testing, we don't have any sources to cite as to whether this approach can or will impact or aid conversion. Any insights would be appreciated.
