When creating, managing and optimizing your marketing campaigns online, there is only one metric that matters to your “boss” and you … It’s the conversion.
As the common example goes: If 100 visitors come to your web page and 1% convert (take action on that page and tracked by you) – you’ll have 1 positive human interaction. This person went from a prospect to a lead (sales cycle), or an actual sale (ecommerce).
What expectations do we have?
Depending on your marketing campaign, industry and many other variables, questions get raised about “expected conversion rates on a landing page”, “industry conversion rate averages” and the like. While interesting, there is nothing like actual results for YOUR business to determine success.
Do you care about naming?
Terms like Landing Page Optimization (LPO), Conversation Rate Optimization (CRO), PPC Management, and their use are important to improve on a process already place, but when you show a 100% conversion (100 out of a 100) – nobody cares about industry acronyms, they just want to know how you did it.
We’ll talk about a big optimization trick today. It’s simpler than you might think.
