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.

Experiences Tracking Phone Call Conversions?
Tracking conversions via phone call can be challenging. The Adwords phone ads only register a conversion if someone clicks on the phone number from their mobile phone. In many cases a landing page on a website has a lead/contact form AND a phone number displayed. The user calling that number would not be registered as a conversion unless you setup multiple virtual forwarding phone numbers for prominent keywords, ad groups and/or campaigns. This can be costly for smaller advertisers. Has anyone done or know of any empirical data on the average percentage of leads generated via phone call versus online form on a landing page. I know it can vary from business type to business type (and the form layout itself will have a modest effect.) More specifically I'm interested in the professional business services industry such as Engineering, Surveying, Commercial Real Estate, Accounting, etc. So for example if you conversion rate for online form submission on a landing page is 3%, and your phone number is prominently displayed, what would be a realistic ballpark estimate for the actual conversion rate including phone calls? 25% more? 50% more? Double? "Ballpark" is the keyword here. Just seeing if anyone has measured this and what their results were.

How to Improve Conversions?

Time spent downloading a page increased drasticly
Hi Guys, We have found increased "Time spend downloading a page" drastically. Our website: www.learnenglishindublin.com Our company is located in Ireland, so we moved our servers from US to Ireland at the beginning of December. Also before increasing 'Time spend downloading a page" I did: I have installed plugins JCH Optimize (plugin is optimizing CSS and Javascripts [merging them]) I have installed ScriptsDown - which is moving all scripts to bottom of site. Pingdom tools shows that site is loading average of 2.7 secs. Pages are cached. Gzip is used. Our SEO rankings dropped from 1 page to 2 page. We have gone up in Google Maps search. Image sizes are about 1.7MB Any idea how things have actually gotten worse after this “improvement”? Thanks, Olivia increased.jpg

SEO For Personalized Content Pages
Hi, We are building a site that has content that personalizes based each visitor. This is being done to serve the most relevant content for conversion purposes and NOT for SEO purposes. So, there are many diferent versions of each page based on the visitor's location, device, browser, keyword-used, traffic source, etc. Obviously, we don't want this to appear like cloaking (it is genuine content personalization) and wondered how Google would view this? What is the safeguard for protecting the website from potential penalties? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Can anyone recommend software for recording phone calls through Adwords?
Hey Mozzers, I want to start recording phone calls as a result of PPC campaigns. Can anyone recommend an easy to implement system for setting this in place which will allow me to track calls placed as a result of PPC advertising. The ability to record the calls for training purposes would be a bonus. Thanks in advance Geoff

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? Gary...0 -
Page Title Tags - SEO vs CRO ?
Hi everyone, Thanks to what seems to be a recent(ish) algo change in Google, some of our more targeted deeper pages are ranking for search terms where before only our homepage would rank. This is of course great however I am a little worried that some of the page titles of our internal pages are a little short, for example our main departments (we are an ecommerce store) are titles 'Department Name | Liberty Games' so for example 'Pool Tables | Liberty Games'. I have heard varying reports on what to do with the title tag, I have heard to keep the most relevant keywords to the left of the tag, which we have done, I have also heard that shorter is better. I am just a bit concerned that our tags are looking a little stumpy in the serps alongside other results which are longer (although admittedly a bit keyword stuffed). So (eventually) my question is, will short titles harm my click-through rate ? but are shorter titles better for SEO ? If longer is better are there any recommendations about what I could add to these titles that could potentially help click-throughs and natural rankings ? Many thanks, Stuart
