Conversion Rate boost - Website Feedback
-
We are a relatively young company with an Okay conversion rate of around 2% across several different sales channels. I am mentioning this because our website with the same type of products has a very low conversion rate of under 1%. I know this is a deep topic, involving different analytic metrics, but would like to ask MOZ community members if there's anything obvious that needs improvement on this website www.cherrywalls.com that would help to increase conversions. I will be happy to answer any additional questions or to clarify things!
Thank you for your time! Any suggestions and/or critique are greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Moosa! Very helpful advice!
Would you be able to provide a good example of an e-commerce website with a good blog strategy?
We will definitely look into making our content more engaging.
Do you think setting up a blog/news feed on the homepage would be a necessary step? Or simply including Blog link in the header is good?

Thank you so much! I am glad you liked the website.
That's an interesting thought about the carousel usage. We were assuming that the majority of our visitors are there to find and purchase a wall decal because of how we target our audience. We will try different "call to actions" on the homepage to see if it will make a big difference. Your suggestion is great and makes perfect sense.

Personal Opinion!
In my opinion two things that are badly missing on your website includes a powerful blog strategy and a strong and engage-able social media strategy! If you can focus on these two I am sure the conversion rate will increase dramatically.
I haven’t spend much time on your website but after reading your about us and few other pages I was not really impressed and convinced to go with your services or product you are offering.
I believe your website pages should have and encouraging content that allow the people to motivate in your favour and drop question that you can later convert in to leads.
Hope this helps!

Wow, that's a great site that you have! I really love the clean design and font choice - pleasing to the eyes and goes well with your decal products.
If there's one thing I can nitpick, you may want to do away with the carousel on your home page. It took me a while after arriving at your page to realise you are selling decals. Instead, use a photo of your most impressive decal, put a tagline (e.g. "Brighten up your house with our decal") and a large call-to-action (e.g. "Buy one for your house today"). I see that you offer samples, and in that case, your call-to-action can be "Order a sample today!".
I believe this will be more effective than flashing deals on the carousel, which visitors won't be interested in until you get them interested in your products first.
Hope that helps!

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!!

User Testing a Website
Hello We're soon going to be embarking on a fairly major site overhaul and while this isn't a particularly SEO related question, I’m keen to integrate user feedback quite heavily in this process and would appreciate your opinion as how best to collect this feedback. These are the kind of questions that I would like to pose: Is it clear when you visit the site, what it is that they do? What is your first thought about the site when you visit it? On the homepage, where is your eye drawn to immediately? When wishing to purchase a product, would this product page draw you into the sale? Do you get a general feeling of trustworthiness on the site? Using the series of drop downs on the homepage, please choose any product and follow the process through to the checkout. Did you feel that this was engaging throughout? Rather than yes/no answers I’d like the user to spend a good 5-10 minutes giving their detailed opinions so that we can gain some genuine inspiration on how best to improve the site. What would be the best method of collecting this data? I was thinking perhaps Amazon Mechanical Turk but the thrust of the work offered there seems to be so diverse that I’m not sure we’d get people in tune with offering the kind of detailed answers that I’d be hoping for. Thanks for your help.

Adwords Conversion Optimiser
OK Mozers! Here's the situation (my parents went away on a weeks vacation...) • I am managing an online furniture retail website Infurn .com • Our budget is 500 euro per day and we need basically 20% cost per sale and im hovering at 30 - 35% • I recently was given the opportunity to participate in The Conversion Optimiser which allows you to set a desired CPA and Google works its magic geting you that target by adjusting your bids accordingly using historical campaign data. • Is this something I should use? Or should I continue to hone my ad groups, bids, products, landing pages, and ad copy until I reach my 15 - 20% CPA goal? Thanks!

Lookiing for examples of local "small biz" sites with phone or contact form conversion points
Hi Guys, I'm looking for any good examples of small business sites that you've come across that do a good job at converting potential visitors to clients. I'm primarily thinking about service oriented business such as Doctors, Dentists, Salons, Clothing stores, small restuarants, car detailing services, local photographers, etc. I'm just trying to digest other examples and look for new inspirations.
