Let’s face it, haven’t we all made gut changes to our website or app without first analyzing the exact problem? We are guilty of this too. If you check these adjustments in an A\/B test, it often shows no changes or even a deterioration and you are no smarter afterwards than before.<\/p>\n

But there is another way – through structured analysis and sound hypotheses we were able to reduce the bounce rate of our website of our tool RapidUsertests by 31% and increase the conversion rate by 47%.<\/p>\n

How did we do that?

<\/p>\n

The challenge: Bounce rate and conversion rate with potential for optimization<\/h2>\n

RapidUsertests.com is our tool for crowd usability testing. After a redesign in early 2017, we had made no more changes to the home page, but the quantitative analytics data showed us a comparatively high bounce rate and potential for increases in conversion rate.

Quantitative vs. qualitative data in conversion optimization<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Without question, quantitative data<\/strong> is important in generating A\/B test hypotheses.
As in our example, they can show you where problems are occurring on your website through KPIs like abandonment rates and dwell time. But what they don’t show you is the underlying why. This already starts with the dwell time: Do users stay on a page for a long time because the content is relevant to them or because they don’t find the crucial information? Do your users call up many different individual pages because they find your offer so exciting or because you are not well managed?<\/p>\n

You can only obtain this information through qualitative data<\/strong>.
This can be a classic UX test, but an expert review by conversion specialists also provides important information. Do you already have insights about your target group from user research and perhaps even use personas and scenarios in your company? Wonderful – they also contribute to being able to analyze what information your users need, where they need it, and what challenges they want to be picked up on.

The process: With conversion analysis to well-founded A\/B test hypotheses<\/h2>\n

Our conversion specialists therefore combined quantitative and qualitative methods to uncover conversion killers:<\/p>\n
