A/B testing- what is it?
A/B Testing
A/B testing is an important part of any strategy for increasing conversion rates because it lets you compare and contrast small changes to your page. You might think you know what your customers respond to, but ab split tests might show you something else.
Conversion rate A/B tests remove any guesswork from your marketing decisions. Every part of your page is carefully thought out, tested, measured, evaluated and re-tested to see how it affects your conversions, whether for the better or worse. With these insights, you can learn from what works, but more importantly, you can learn from what doesn’t work.
A/B testing does what it says on the tin. Using a variant (or multiple) pages to test against the original web page, to see whether changing the elements can improve the page's engagement and encourage users to convert at a better rate.
As an a/b testing agency, we have helped specifically retailers for more than 25 years, implement web page variant tests to improve their online shopping experiences.
If you need help with a/b split testing, or you have previously tested, but can't make sense of your data, book in a free 30 minute consultation with one of our ab testing experts and we can figure out how to help your website reach it's full potential.
Our approach to A/B testing
We don't just use A/B tests once and then stop. When testing is done right, it should be an ongoing process that allows you to build momentum.
By constantly testing, learning and re-testing approach, you will always have the most up-to-date information to feed into and refine your decision-making processes. With A/B testing, you can respond quickly to changes in how your audience acts and find small points of customer pressure before they become bigger problems.
Our approach is to learn from all of the information that comes out of your A/B tests. The technical information we get will help us learn more about what your customers like. We can compare current users to new users and do two things at once: keep customers satisfied while pushing for new innovation.
With a regular A/B testing schedule, you will get the customer-focused data you need to improve every interaction you have with a customer throughout their entire lifecycle. The data will show you where to invest your efforts and help you maximise your budgets by allocating expenditures in the right places.
Let's talk conversion testing.
If you need help conducting an ab testing experiment, or help enhancing your a/b testing schedule, then why not share your optimisation goals with us.
Defining the strategy
A/B testing is naturally strategic; by conducting test variations you’re ultimately deciding that an aspect of your strategy is to spend the additional time and resources on reducing uncertainty within the decision making process.
When it comes to determining a definitive ab testing strategy, consider that not one size fits all. It’s incredibly unlikely that there’s a universal solution.
We work with clients to identify the internal factors that may influence exactly what testing options will ultimately drive consistent results. This criteria typically affects what we test, how often, and how we run ab tests.
Design and implementation
We use A/B testing to discover the optimal version of key pages and components.
The key to designing an A/B test is to determine which elements of your website or campaign that can be compared and contrasted against a new or modified variant.
Our testing tools optimise critical pages using insights from heat-maps, click-maps, and scroll-maps to detect and analyse dead-clicks and identify user distractions. The 'cleaner' your key pages (i.e. homepages, landing pages), the likelier it is that visitors quickly find what they’re looking for.
Integrating into the website
After designing the framework, you will have all the required data and a prioritised backlog.
Once we have formulated hypotheses that align to your goal and prioritised them, we create variations, and flag off the test.
Whilst tests are being conducted, we ensure it meets every requirement to produce statistically significant results before its conclusion, such as testing on accurate traffic, not testing too many elements together, or testing at an optimal duration.
Take learnings and repeat
Upon conclusion, it's essential to continuously analyse the results. A/B testing requires continuous data mining and analysis. We don't believe that testing stops because you have a 'winning' outcome.
We analyse metrics like percentage increases, engagement rates, and confidence level. Once the numbers are crunched, we make improvements to the 'winning' outcome and keep testing.
If tests prove inconclusive, we delve into the insights and implement changes in subsequent tests.
