E-commerce Customer Reviews/Ratings Solutions?
-
Hi all,
Was wondering if based on your experience you could recommend E-commerce customer reviews/ratings solutions? Or if you prefer to use in-house built solutions.
I currently have proposals from bazaarvoice, Shopzilla and Reevoo.
Cheers

Unless you can find a 3rd party provider who allows you to "white-label" their rating/reviews to your subdomain, there is not much value having it. The review/rating system should work semi-automatic to block any type of spam and you should own the data (i.e. be able to export it).
Unless you can run this on a subdomain, there is zero SEO value for you though....

No problem.
I believe FeeFo moderate the feedback. We have had a good result when responding to any negative feedback.

Thanks Craig, I'll give them a call.
Just one last question; who moderates the comments and reviews? You do or they do?
Cheers

Hi Carols,
I know that for us that is work in progress but can happen. We are using there base system without any direct integration to our site (cost more than anything at the present time)
If you speak with them I am pretty confident they would be able to achieve exactly what you are after.

Hi Craig - Ideally I would like the reviews to be hosted only on my site so that I can benefit from the fresh/unique content.
If you look for the content left by reviewers on your site, you'll see that Google has indexed it on the FeeFo website https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=This+was+a+present%2C+but+of+course+I+had+to+try+it+on+myself...+Nice+quality%2C+so+much+so+that+I+did+briefly+consider+holding+on+to+it.+I+will+be+tempted+to+order+again+for+my+son.+There's+nothing+like+a+luxurious%2C+thick+new+dressing+gown+to+make+you+consider+your+own+worn%2C+threadbare+one%2C&oq=This+was+a+present%2C+but+of+course+I+had+to+try+it+on+myself...+Nice+quality%2C+so+much+so+that+I+did+briefly+consider+holding+on+to+it.+I+will+be+tempted+to+order+again+for+my+son.+There's+nothing+like+a+luxurious%2C+thick+new+dressing+gown+to+make+you+consider+your+own+worn%2C+threadbare+one%2C&sugexp=chrome,mod=0&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

I have used both Trustpilot, not that hot and now we are using FeeFo which seems to be working well. We have feedback at both service and product level, take a look on www.towelsrus.co.uk.
There technical team are working on a nice solution so as to allow both SEO benefits from reviews and also as we do currently receive back links from there site on reviews, so a double whammy.
There tech team are really helpful and very responsive so a good all round reviews solution.

Requiring customer agree to shipping terms at checkout
I work for an ecommerce company that has many of its shipments go by LTL freight. Our customer service team has issues with a few customers per month that aren't equipped to receive freight shipments which leads to returns and other issues. In an effort to better inform our customers, the customer service team is requesting that we add a checkbox to the checkout that requires customers to agree to our shipping and returns policy, including a link to the policy page. I am wondering how concerned people here would be that requiring the customer to check a box agreeing to those terms would lead to more customers abandoning during the checkout process. Or do you think it's not a concern? Thanks for your thoughts.

Do the clickable images on pages are bad that they will increase bounce rate and distract users?
Hi Moz community, I'm trying to get some helpful answers on this. We are planning to employ clickable images on our website pages which opens in new tab if users click on them. This is to make sure that they can see the large screenshots of our product. I wonder will this increase the bounce rate and drop the rankings. Please share your experience and guidance on this. Thanks

Custom funnel tracking - Google analytics - premium or normal
If I have funnel with more options on same step. E.g. PDP (product detail page) --> "Sign in page A" or "Sign in page B" (customer can choose) --> "Thank you page" How can I track both options in same funnel? Because if I set funnel in analytics like: 1. step: PDP, 2. step: Sign in page A and step 3: Thank you page -->

I would see "Sign in page B" like exit page, but it is not, because customers can choose and come through A or B "sign in" page. Pls help. Ty. 🙂0 -
Conversion Rate Benchmarking and Optimization
Hey everyone! I run the marketing for an ecommerce marketplace and we're doing good on the SEO front of things, with 60%+ of our traffic coming in via search and we're ranking for some competitive keywords. I'm really curious about the conversion rate though. Despite intensive googling, I've not been able to find a rough benchmark for conversion rates. Our conversion rate is about 1.2%, increasing as we continue to do more optimization work with regards to the site's usability. While we track other forms of conversions, the 1.2% conversion rate is for bookings through the site, which is our main source of revenue. Does anyone have a reference guide for conversion rates, particularly for ecommerce marketplaces? I'd like to know if we're doing ok or really bad, and also to take reference from other similar sites to improve our conversion. Thanks!!

Any Reports on Conversion Rate Drops in 2014?
I'm looking for some reports about conversion rate changes over the past year as well as any trends you may have noticed about ecommerce conversion rates because we are seeing something quite odd. We are seeing a large drop in overall conversion rates on some sites I manage this year despite seeing significant revenue growth. When I looked through the stats I found something interesting. Our conversion rates have actually increased on each of the three device types (desktop, tablet and mobile) but because there is a huge surge in visits from mobile devices (the device with the lowest conversion rates) and a large decline in vistis from our top convertor (desktop) our overall conversion rates are down. This is especially troubling to me because my bonus was based on increasing conversion rates and I could use some help from you to see if others in the industry are facing this issue or not. Thanks

Analytics (Other Than Google) & A/B Testing Tools
Hey, I have Google Analytics on my website, like most people, but I was looking at some other analytics and testing tools like heat maps, click maps, A/B, etc. I was hoping that some of you could recommend a few that you use to see where pages are going wrong, track user behaviour and to how improve conversion rate. I have had a look at a few websites like: https://www.clicktale.com/

Why has my bounce rate gone in to orbit since moving the same content to a new site?!
I moved our site to a wordpress theme over the christmas break. All content is pretty much the same word for word, and I think the new site looks much, much better than the old one. Why then, has our overall bounce rate gone from 7-8%, up to 74%? Bounce rates for some KW focused internal pages have gone from 2-3% to similar 70+% in some cases. Just to confuse things further, I have also changed the name and branding for the site to differentiate us from a competitor and stop the confusion we've experienced at times. But, I can't see how the new logo would cause and extra 65% of visitors to leave straight off! I really don't want to go back to the old name and don't think that's the answer anyhow, but I may have to test it out of sheer desperation. There's only a static holding page for the old site now as a reference point for people searching the old name (not many). So I've attached a screenshot of how it looked below. Also at http://imgur.com/aM5o9. The new site is at flatroofs.co.uk. I have just noticed that by placing the previous 'more information' links a secondary menu in the left widget area rather than on the page, they are less noticeable especially if you scroll down to the bottom of a page, where the only links are in the footer? Again though, if 75% of people are put off this easily something else must be at play! Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Danny. aM5o9.png?1
