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

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.

Heyy.. New to the Moz community, first question so here goes! I'm going to be running an email campaign with an e-magazine and I want to know how to track conversions from the email they're sending out so I can monitor success/failure. I've found Google's URL builder:

Are website optimization and conversion rate optimization roughly the same thing?
This is mostly a semantics question, but I also want to check that I have a basic understanding of the two concepts. Are the two terms more or less interchangeable or are there any crucial differences? I always thought of website optimization as the complementary partner to SEO. While the ultimate goal of SEO is getting people TO your website, website optimization is focused on refining your website so that those people STAY on your website. When I think of conversion rate optimization, I'd imagine that's pretty much the same goal. Refining a website so that more people stay and ultimately convert (buy something, subscribe to a newsletter, etc). Is my understanding of one (or both) of them flawed, or is it six of one, half a dozen of the other? Thanks!

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

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?

Any providers offering a/b testing using JS callbacks?
Hi all, I am looking to test the impact of buy button wording on conversion rate. The website in question has a few thousand products on non-dynamic URLs. The common a/b testing products on the market restrict tests to a single URL, or you have to enter all the URLs being tested which isn't practical. Ideal Solution What I'd really like to do is: use the provider's web app to configure an experiment with a name and a description of the variations; use some JS code to run the experiment with a callback to carry out the variation. This would allow me to easily put this code on the product details page template. I've written example code below for how this would look. When the experiment is run, the provider's framework would a) tell my code what variation to run, and b) handle the measuring of conversion rate. Questions Are there any providers which work like this? Is there an alternative solution on the market? If there isn't someone already doing this, would it be useful to anyone else? Joel // Loads the provider's framework. // Setting the experiment to run when doc is ready.

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
