- Better Return on Investment (ROI): Clients want to maximize the return on their investment in digital marketing. Conversion optimization helps to increase the effectiveness of digital marketing campaigns by improving the conversion rates of the website.
- Enhanced Brand Image: Clients want their brand to be seen as professional, trustworthy, and authoritative. A well-designed and optimized website can help to enhance the brand image and improve the overall perception of the business.
- Competitive Advantage: Clients want to stay ahead of their competitors and stand out in their industry. Conversion optimization can help to differentiate the business and create a competitive advantage by providing a better user experience and higher conversion rates.
By committing to delivering these benefits through your conversion optimization service, you can help your clients to achieve their goals and grow their business.
To deliver on these benefits, you may consider implementing strategies such as A/B testing, user testing, website design improvements, copywriting improvements, and more. By analyzing user behavior and identifying areas for improvement, you can create a tailored plan to help your clients achieve their desired outcomes.
Remember to set clear expectations with your clients and communicate the progress of your work regularly. This can help to build trust and ensure that your clients are satisfied with your services. By consistently delivering on the promised benefits, you can establish yourself as a trusted and reliable provider of conversion optimization services.
To set expectations properly and deliver on the benefits of conversion optimization, you should ask your client the following questions
- What are your current conversion rates?
- What is your desired conversion rate?
- Who is your target audience?
- What are your main conversion goals (e.g., form submissions, product purchases, etc.)?
- What metrics are you using to track conversions (e.g., Google Analytics, heat maps, etc.)?
- What is your budget for conversion optimization services?
- Have you done any conversion optimization testing before? If so, what were the results?
- Are there any specific pain points or issues that you have identified with your current conversion process?
- How will you measure the success of the conversion optimization campaign?
- How involved do you want to be in the conversion optimization process (e.g., do you want to be kept informed of every change or only receive updates periodically)?
By asking these questions, you can gain a better understanding of your client’s business, goals, and pain points. This information can then be used to create a customized conversion optimization plan that addresses their specific needs and helps them achieve the desired benefits.
To help your client achieve the benefits of conversion optimization, you can offer the following concrete deliverables
- Conversion rate audit: Start with a detailed analysis of your client’s website to identify areas for improvement and potential barriers to conversion. This will help to establish a baseline and provide insights that can be used to inform the other deliverables.
- User experience (UX) analysis: Once you have identified areas for improvement from the conversion rate audit, perform a UX analysis to identify specific elements that need to be improved to enhance the user experience.
- Conversion funnel analysis: Analyze the user journey from entry point to conversion to identify areas where users are dropping off or getting stuck. This will help to optimize the conversion funnel and improve conversion rates.
- Landing page optimization: Use the insights gained from the conversion rate and UX analyses to create and test landing pages with clear calls to action and messaging that resonates with the target audience.
- A/B testing plan: Once the landing pages have been optimized, create an A/B testing plan to determine which variations of web pages, headlines, images, and other elements produce the best conversion rates.
- Personalization strategy: Once the core elements of the website have been optimized, create a personalization strategy to provide a more customized experience for visitors based on their behavior, demographics, and other data points.
- Retargeting campaigns: Finally, create retargeting campaigns to reach users who have previously visited the website and encourage them to convert.
By following this order, you can ensure that each deliverable builds upon the insights gained from the previous one, and that there are no conflicting dependencies.
