Increase conversion rate to buy
-
I am trying to understand why my women fashion site has a very low conversion, basically zero apart from some occasional sales (last one a few months ago)
There is a lack of organic traffic the to shop subdomain, but what worries me is that (email/social media) campaigns to existing clients who happily buy repeatedly from our brick and mortar store do not generate results, despite using promotion codes etc.
Before investing heavily in PPC campaigns etc, I'd like to improve conversion. Any advice on what can be improved ?
PD: link can be found in my profile.

Great tips. Optimizely is particularly strong at the testing stage.
It depends what depth/level of insight is required when it comes to behavioral insight (CX) tools for CRO. We have researched the market quite a lot
Crazy Egg, LuckyOrange, ClickDensity & Hotjar - focused towards SME's
SessionCam, ClickTale, IBM Tealeaf and Decibel Insight (our tool) - enterprise/corporate level (huge sites)
Be wary that many tools offer pre-generated reports and don't allow for a great deal of customization or segmentation. Also, they were built before responsive designs were a concept, so struggle with load times for tablet or mobile views when viewing heatmaps and session replays for example.

I think Patrick pretty much nailed it. My best advice is not to make changes on the website without testing them use tools like optimizely or Unbounce.
If you have a budget, my advice is to get recommendations from any CRO expert.
Hope this helps…

Hi there
Moz offers a great resource that can help you see how the conversion rate optimization process works and should be approached, from discovery to review.
You're going to want to collect your data, take an unbiased look at your website, make hypothesis on where the bottlenecks/pain points are in your website, and create a plan of potential tests you want to run to test those assumptions. Hotjar is a great tool for this.
Do not just start making changes to your website - test them. This is easily done with different tools, including:
Visual Website Optimizer
OptimizelyIf you are weary about this process or don't have the time and resources to do so yourself, you should look into a professional that has experience doing so. You really should talk to a professional to begin with, as you want to be making the right decisions based on the right data, and sometimes this can get overwhelming. Moz has a great list of companies you can reach out to for the process.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Any possibility to track goal completions/conversions at a sub-page (non-landing page) level in Google Analytics?
We’re promoting our sub-page it's http://www.flightcentre.ca/flights/london on our homepage under the slideshow so I need to see how many people went to the homepage, then went to this page, and then converted (enquired or booked.) What I can’t see is how many people did that. I know how to look up how many people landed on that page and then converted, but I need to know how many people navigated there and then converted. Is that possible? I can only see Goal Completions if I look at that page as a landing page, but that only presents a very slim view of the total visits when compared to those pages generally. Any way to check the entire behavior or activities happening through this page i.e. /flights/london?

Google Remarketing Conversions - Possible Issue
Hi All, When it comes to Google Adwords, when considering conversions, Google assigns each conversion back to the click that originally drove that visitor on the day they clicked. so, even if someone converts today, Google would show that conversion as occurring two weeks ago when the visitor originally clicked on a paid search ad and came to my site. fine...whatever. My question now is if we use a remarketing campaign through the Display Network, and someone converts, will that conversion be shown under their new visit or back on their original click where they did not originally convert, causing them to be included in our remarketing audience? Cant seem to find a straight answer anywhere and hoping someone out there has some guidance.

How to make use of those traffics on non-conversion page?
I am working on a website which sells eBooks softwares, most of posts on the site are teaching people how to solve eBook-reading problems and will lead visitors to download and try the software. But some posts are not related to the software, we just write it for traffic, for example: link-bait post such as top xxx romantic eBooks, free eBooks tools review, etc. These posts have got a pretty considerable traffic, but visitors just come here, read, like/share/comment, then leave. Is there any way I can make use of these pages to convert? Thanks

61.45% Shopping Cart Abandon Rate - How to troubleshoot?
Hello MozPeeps! I wanted to see if I could get some help on the best method for troubleshooting our abandoned shopping cart funnel. Maybe point me in the best areas to research, or what are the best tools to use, or an improved method for analyzing and interpreting the existing data for more clarity about what is happening. I have attached the screen shot that shows what's going on. This account is using a Magento shopping cart with a custom built checkout page that is trying to copy Overstock.com's checkout page. Here are my thoughts: 1. Use Clicktale to monitor the checkout pages in question to try and get a feel for what people are doing or why they are clicking off? 2. Use another tool (not sure which one) that allows us to monitor page load speeds for the checkout process to see if orders are being hung up by slow loading pages. 3. Or, maybe 62% is not an uncommon abandoned cart rate and therefore we should just focus on automating abandoned cart follow up emails for the customers. Thanks in advance for any help! funnel-goal-visualization.jpg
