Let us run your experiments
We live in times of data-driven marketing. Lost are the times where marketing is exclusively throwing money at things and hope for a favorable outcome. The modern-day marketer has a scientific approach and relies on data. And the best way to remove uncertainty and guts to all marketing or design decisions for websites, ads—anything online actually, is A/B Testing.
Why is it important to run experiments?
Even when you have great insights from data and user research, it is still difficult to predict how users will behave when you roll out changes. Testing takes the guesswork out of the process and allows you to be confident that you are making the right decisions.
Having a testing strategy at the heart of a conversion optimization program will increase the number of people converting and improve your key metrics. Basically, you can make your marketing spend work better for you. And instead of investing in more marketing, you can capitalize on the customers you already have by improving their online customer journey.
By basing your strategy on data, you’ll be agile but most importantly you’ll have concrete feedback on what works and what doesn’t. You’ll be better able to make business decisions and invest time and money in what your visitors actually want.
What is A/B testing (split-testing)?
A/B Testing is also known as split testing, which can be either exactly the same thing as A/B testing OR mean split URL testing. For a classic A/B Test, the 2 variations are on the same URL, whereas split URL testing where your changed variation is on a different URL (your visitor doesn’t see the difference of course).
By split-testing, you determine the impact of content, design, and functionality changes to your website. By creating multiple versions of a web page and collecting data & statistics for a control group (usually A) and at least one variation (B), we can learn about how your ideas impact user behavior and ultimately your key goals and objectives.
But A/B testing needs work to get into and more work to practice. You’ll have to create a process, put a framework in place, learn a bit about statistics, set up and learn a new tool, make sure you’re actually getting accurate results. The results, however, can be fantastic.

Implementing the winning experiments
Once an A/B or multivariate test experiment is completed, we can then start to carry out a post-test analysis to evaluate the results, draw conclusions, and decide on what action we need to take next. It is crucial that we only conclude experiments when we have sufficient data to draw valid conclusions. For a website test, this includes a minimum number of conversions, a minimum number of business cycles, and of course, statistical significance for our test goals.
