Does adding a well scripted and produced video help significantly in conversions from visits to my divorce lawyer website to calls for my services?

Should the addition of well scripted and produced video to my divorce lawyer website increase my conversions and, if so, to what extent?
-
Almost certainly.
http://www.kurtzandblum.com/ did exactly this and saw a significant increase in conversions (and 14% increase in traffic).

It is impossible to say to what extent adding a video to your site will increase conversions but adding a good video is one of the things I would try to see if the conversion rate goes up.
Before having the video made you should consider how many new clients you would need to get to pay for the video. Then if you believe that the video will increase the conversions by an amount more than you need to break even do it.
I would use the video to encourage people to contact your office rather than trying to answer all the questions they may have. You can also use it to pre-qualify people if you get a lot of people contacting the office that you are unable to help.
I hope this helps

Questions like this pertaining to CRO can really depend on A/B testing. A lot of marketers will recommend you to test something similar to the well scripted and produced video before spending the budget. You can maybe try another video that you have access to or the rights to publish on your site.
See if this increases the conversions and if it does it may give you the evidence you need to spend the budget on the tailored video.
CRO always comes down to testing and studies.

How well does your site rank at the moment for you primary keywords? I know you haven't indicated that you expect better rankings, but from experience, many people think this will be the magic bullet to get them ranked...it won't make the difference - just to say.
I suppose it will depend on the video. Divorce is a highly emotive subject and it may depend on how you, or others on the video are viewed by those same emotive people. Do you have a face that suits radio or are you a warm person that conveys care and trust?
Maybe the business is aimed at "we'll screw the best deal out of your husband, and then screw him over as well..." - hey, some may love that tactic.
Ultimately, people buy from people, and if they trust what is being shown on the screen, you have a good chance of increasing conversions.
The last thing I would say is don't trust your own judgement - get a decent consensus of opinion of who should be shown on the film.
Hope that helps.

Best Practices: Mobile & Desktop Ad Design for Adwords?
Is it possible to have Google Adwords display different page versions according to whether an advertisement will be displayed on a mobile or desktop device? We are a commercial real estate brokerage based in New York City. Most converting website use desktop rather than mobile. We are considering advertising on Google Adwords. Is it possible to have Google serve a more elaborate form of desktop landing page but have Google serve a stripped down version to mobile users? The stripped down version would be created using Instapage. From a technical perspective how would we create a more elaborate desktop version and have Google distinguish between the two? In our experience, mobile converts much less. How much less should we bid for keywords displaying on mobile? Thanks!

Figuring out why sales drop significantly from one day to another
Hi all, We're running an eCommerce site and are using Moz to track our organic results i primarily we are using the Rank tracker and On page analysis tools. One strange issue that we experience on our website is sales dropping from one day to the next unexplainably (to us anyway). For example, one day (could be any day of the week or weekend) we'll make £1,000 of sales, the next £200 - the following might be back up to £1,000. I've tried looking for patterns in traffic, but oddly even on the days when we have poor sales we still tend to have almost as much traffic. We also use adwords, which account for about 50% of sales - on some of the poor days our spend on adwords is down, on others it's not. If the spend is down I could make a fair assumption that our competitors are playing around with their bids. I'm interesting in trying to determine why we have such irregular sales patterns. If they dropped 10/20% I could quite easily put it down to any number of factors - even the weather for example, however drops of 80/90% seem strange. I don't really know where to look for the answers - my first thought was that on the poor days I should check whether our organic rankings had dropped significantly overnight - but the Moz Rank Tracker only updates once per week, so perhaps there is an alternative way someone could suggest? I'd be really interested to hear from any of you that might have been through similar struggles, or, have some ideas that might help us get to the bottom of the fluctuation in sales. Thanks in advance for your time. Kind regards,

Increase conversion rate to buy
I am trying to understand why my women fashion site has a very low conversion, basically zero apart from some occasional sales (last one a few months ago) There is a lack of organic traffic the to shop subdomain, but what worries me is that (email/social media) campaigns to existing clients who happily buy repeatedly from our brick and mortar store do not generate results, despite using promotion codes etc. Before investing heavily in PPC campaigns etc, I'd like to improve conversion. Any advice on what can be improved ? PD: link can be found in my profile.

Video for Ecommerce
Hi all- I am currently making videos to put on our site about some of our products. The same video will appear on a few different product pages as they will be about the category of products (i.e. how many gumballs fit in a few different size jars). My questions are: Should I worry about duplicate content issues if the rest of the page is unique? and for hosting the videos/SEO: Should I put the videos on youtube or use another hosting service. I don't think any of these are going to go viral, it's mostly about more content on the page to increase conversions. Any thoughts would be appreciated Thanks Ken.

Landing Page Conversion Rates
I had a client claiming his industry (replacement home windows) conversion rate was around 15% based on his research. In my research i could find nothing of the sort, and really couldn't find a single place that provided this type of information. Anyone out there have some advice on where to research industry conversion rates (averages) or tools/thought processes to explore? Thanks! (these stats would primarily be used for goal setting and competitive analysis)

Click through to buy now page - 15-20%
Actually complete the buy now process - 1% Conversion from organic traffic landing directly on the homepage at http://www.drivingtestnow.co.uk is having a conversion rate of about 5%. It seems odd to me that my highly targeted ad campaign and landing page are convertign so badly compared to the less atrgeted organic search traffic and homepage. Have you got any ideas why this might be occurring and also any tips on how I can improve the conversion rate for my product? Gary...0
