Landing Page Conversion
-
Hi,
I'm having a few issues with my landing page conversion. I have followed several guides found on this site (especially the unbounce.com ones) but what'ever I try my landing page CRO doesn't seem to increase.
the landing page in question is http://www.drivingtestnow.co.uk/find-driving-test-cancellations.
I'm getting traffic to my landing page solely through PPC traffic from Google. My stats are rough as follows:
Arrive at landing page - 100% (obviously)
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?

This is certainyl the type of feedback I was after. Having revisited the homepage and landing pages it nwo seems obvious that the landing page doesn't give enough detail about the product.
I've been toying with the idea of removing the video for a while, as I'm not sure (in it's current state) it adds much value. Do you have any examples of videos that you consider to be "dyanmic enough to whip out your credit card"?
I will certainly test out some of the other elements you've pointed out.

PPC keyworsd are the same as the organic keywords. More than 95% of my total traffic comes from the keywords "driving test cancellations". this is split between PPC and organic in an 80/20 ratio.
-
I agree with others, on landing page my eyes fixed on this
"Find driving test cancellations fast" i did not understand what it ment,"how to get an earlier test" is more descriptive
but what i want to know is the keywords used in pcc, are they direct keywords or are they keywords they need conversion to your product
Why not send pcc to home page?
-
I would get straight to the point and move the license field right on the first landing page. You're creating additional step and giving people a chance to give up. Testing different page versions will be the only way to tell for sure.

Agree with Shailendra Sial - the home page is more convincing to me.
-
Home page clearly explains process (the landing page focuses on the benefits, but it wasn't clear to me exactly what this was or how it worked.).
-
Home page is simple and the graphic elements make everything stand out. To me, the landing page is a little crowded and sections seem to blend in with each other ...
- Trust signals more prominent on the home page. I didn't notice the "100% guarantee" at first on the lander ... or the form when you click through, because it's in the upper right and the white-on-light green at the bottom of the page. On the home page it's right in the middle of the page and the green header text and icon make it stand out more. At least, to me.
- The first CTA on the lander appears a little bit "lost" under the checkmarks. You're only asking for one piece of information, I'm thinking why even make them click through to a second page?
- Re the video: I run FF with Flashblock so it doesn't load and run immediately for me (another, albeit small, demographic to consider besides the proxied users). When I played it, it not only drew my eyes away from the benefits list and the CTA but the video itself didn't feel dynamic enough to capture my attention and make me want to whip out a credit card. Maybe the video should be an optional "See how it works" link?
No concrete answers, but a few things you can test - hope this helps!

banner.png gives a good idea about your website/service in general.

People (like me) accessing it behind a firewall can't see the YouTube video.

Testimonials are good but i feel they are not adding much value and eating up the precious real estate of the page. I would prefer something like this http://www.sap.com/sme/solutions/businessmanagement/businessone/index.epx

A form on the page can do the trick.
Treat it as a feedback from the user

Thanks. Are there any specific factors that you feel are missing from landing page. How could I increase user confidence? Was there anythign on the other pages of the site that made you feel more comfotable?
-
I believe that the content on your landing page is not very convincing. When i landed on this page i was not very sure about your service but when i went to the Home page and browsed through the pages, i was bit comfortable. I find your Home page better than the landing page in question.

Any General feedback or Experience on Page Titles and Click Through Rates ?
Moz, I have managed to climb onto page one for a couple of keywords i am really happy with, Just looking for any feedback on page titles and different effects on CTR The page i am working with is product pages I tried a simple headline which was a branded product keyword, this way when the keyword matches the user search it will stand out as the the majority of the title is bold because of this match,, Example below <title>Jeffs<strong> Lollipops</strong></title> and my other option is to look at testing a more descriptive title to fit the limit <title>A selection of sweet Strawberry and Cherry<strong> Lollipops</strong> from Jeff<//Title></p> <p>has anyone looked into this and tested for results in CTR ? i can see there being a youmoz about it somewhere?</p> <p>Alot of people i assume will just say test test test, but any feedback on how other moz users tackle title tags for CTR would be great,</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>James</p> <p> </p> <p> </p></title>

Help! Tracking Conversion Source of Specific Users: Possible? How?
Just as an example, let's say we generate a website lead from John Smith. Can we trace John Smith's activity back through AdWords or Analytics to see exactly where he came from and (with AdWords for example) what keyword he typed in before clicking our ad and converting? Thanks for the help!

Help with ecommerce duplicate pages and SEO advice(magento base site)
Hi, We have a magento build site (www.mokee.eu) and are selling our own branded goods. So far it is a very limited range of products. It's 1 baby crib in 5 variations. We recently started getting more sales from the site, so I started to look a bit more into optimising our site. I rewrote item name, created better descriptions, added meta titles and description etc. and subscribed to the MOZ analytics platform to understand a bit better ways to improve things up. From what I saw we have a big issue of duplicated content because our product pages are the same and only the product colour changes, which is something google apparently doesn't like However it is important for us that each colour get referenced by google so people who search for grey cot can find a picture of our grey cot etc... Also I was thinking to create only on multi variation page with all colour but when you have only 1 product to sell it might look a bit empty on the site. 1- Do you guys have some advise on how to go round this issue? 2- Do you have any other advise for my site in particular to optimise things and actually do you think i should be worried at all with such a small catalogue? Thanks Sam

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?

Is checkout page setup (in regards to abandonment) this sensitive?!?!
About a week ago, I added a google checkout button (which wasn't really positioned well) & option to add a note on my checkout page for my site. Over the next three days, my cart abandonment was 100%!!!!! 16 customers got to checkout, but all of them dropped out... I was starting to freak out and finally took the google button & note option down. Since then, I'm back up to about 50% abandonment. Is the ecosystem of a checkout page really this sensitive? If so, holy S#$%! Just wondering if anyone has any general advice or links for me to study up on checkout abandonment. Maybe we can get a Whiteboard Friday discussing this?

Can fun, slightly unprofessional text be good for conversion rates?
I operate on a freemium model. The three plans are currently called "Free", "Gold" and "Platinum". Besides being incredibly square and boring, these titles are also meaningless. I'm doing a slight redesign of my site, and the new (unreleased) site has a very fun, playful feel. I'm also trying to make everything more streamlined and obvious. I'm considering renaming the three plans "Boring Amateur", "Kick-Ass Amateur" and "Bona Fide Professional" on the registration page and simply "Boring", "Kick-Ass" and "Professional" elsewhere. There are lots of places on the site where I have to refer to "amateurs" vs "professionals" - these tags would make that easier to explain. Easier = more sales. What do you think about using unprofessional text like this? Is it too risky, possibly offending too many people and losing sales? Or is it a good eye-catcher? I know the best answer is "test it." But this is one of those changes that I don't want to have to put my users through too many times. Thanks for any thoughts!
