The challenge In order to ease the load of enquiries regarding service and consulting on college studies, and to streamline online work processes, GO was asked to study whether the website’s conversion rates can be improved with regards to the number of visitors to the site and the number of individuals showing interest and requesting additional information via the website.: So the challenge as raising the conversion rates among those filling in the request for more information form on the applicants website

CASE STUDY

Analytical Ability

The work was divided into 3 main stages:

a. Understanding the behavior of website visitors We researched visitors’ behavior using Google Analytics, examining visitors’ flow between the various pages on the website, the different traffic sources and the different platforms through which visitors arrived at the website

At the same time, we also researched visitors’ behavior using heat maps, which provided us with a lot of insight regarding the main areas visitors are focusing on in each page.

CASE STUDY

We realized very quickly that there is a wide gap between our expectations for focusing on the request for more information form and the click rates in this area. b. Characterizing a solution and a research assumption meant to improve conversion rates One of the main restrictions defined for us was that the design of the website is at this stage inflexible and cannot be altered in the immediate future. We were required to generate a short-term improvement within a month or two, without making any significant changes to the design of the website. We looked for benefits for applicants which can be reflected and motivate users to action. After examining the different possibilities, we decided to focus on a registration fee discount for any user who completes the entire process online. c. Conducting A/B Testing We decided to make a very slight change, only to the title of the form, and test 3 different wordings for the benefit offered to those completing the registration process online, compared to the original wording. We used an A/B testing system so as to conduct an accurate statistical study. The advantage of using A/B testing systems as opposed to the lab tests common at companies specializing in user interfaces / user experience (UX / UI) is the accuracy of measurement during the testing. • We can examine the entire population visiting the website (as opposed to examining a small sample of the population) • There is no diversion / willfulness among subjects, since they are not aware of, and do not know they are participating, in an experiment • We can easily test a large number of different versions, dependent on the amount of traffic and the duration of the test After approximately 3 weeks of testing, the results were extremely pronounced! We were able to improve the conversion rate by 23%!!!

CASE STUDY

Business Impact

The success was so pronounced that it was decided that the changes made to the request more information form will also be implemented in Academic Studies’ ads and banners. Implementing these changes in Academic Studies’ banners and text ads as well resulted in an additional improvement of the website’s performance, as well as that of the campaigns referring traffic to it!

The Result -

Improve the conversion rate by 23%
