Upcoming Webinar

The hardest thing in optimizing your website is properly understanding the right principles.

One of the shortcuts that science suggests is learning the same principles from two different sources.

This is because it allows us to see different aspects of the same concept and how it applies in various situations.

As the saying goes, “Two heads are better than one”.

And this is particularly true when the second head isn’t just a CRO genius.

He is also the founder of the only Heatmap software with revenue attribution and AI insights on every unique element on your website.

I’m talking about none other than Dylan Ander, the founder of the CRO software heatmap.com

This Thursday, Dylan is hosting the third edition of his webinar series “How We Buy”.

We’ll be discussing all things CRO and breaking down some of the best funnels online.

CRO Trends

Some quick wins and trends you can test on your brands today.

  1. Add a "Best Sellers" carousel to your mega-menu.

The most clicked section of your store is typically the menu based on heatmap data. Show your visitors the best selling products first and foremost to trigger the herd effect.

  1. Always use labels on your collection pages.

These labels will provide guidance to those initial visitors who may not know where to go or those unsure of what to buy. Anything you can do to make a visitor make a quicker and more informed purchase, do it!

Bang!

How to craft a high-converting headline

1. Keep to 6-10 words
Your headline should be between 6-10 words. Too short and you won't be able to utilise the 5 key steps. Too long and it won't be hard-hitting.

2. Include numbers (odd) Be sure to include a number inside your headline if possible. Odd numbers convert better than even ones (who knew!).

Use of numbers can be:
-5 steps to something
-5 people do something
-5 easy ways

3. Include power words Use power words to entice your visitors:
-Perfect
-Skyrocket
-Boost
-Ultimate
-Free
-Easy
-Quick

4. Use action verbs Always include a doing word inside of your title to emphasise the next step.

For example:
- Now
- Today
- This week
- Right now
- Instantly
- Immediately

5. Outlay the benefit Clearly state the benefit for the visitor inside of the headline.

- What are they going to achieve?
- What do they get in return?
- What is the outcome?
- What is the benefit

Optimization by Oliver

I break down how I would optimize some of my favorite brands.

Brand: brooklinen

Home Page Enhancement: I made it more welcoming and easy to use.

The idea was to help visitors find what they're looking for faster and stick around longer.

  1. Shortened the offer in the notification Bar for improved readability

  2. Optimized Imagery

  3. Added reviews for social proof

  4. Improved headline for better positioning

  5. More social proof
