"After using Website Optimier, we have a very good idea of what works on the site, what doesn't, and how to continue improving. Not using it would be almost criminal."
When patients find the site, they are presented with extensive visuals, follow-up data and more, and Dr. Berger sees an important parallel. "I pride myself on eliminating confusion and guesswork for my patients," concludes Dr. Berger. "With Website Optimiser, Google has given me a methodology and a tool that takes the confusion and guesswork out of site design. Website Optimiser is a phenomenal tool that will guide the way I present information from now on."
With the success of Calyx Flowers, Vermont Teddy Bear is now ready to roll out similar optimisation initiatives on VermontTeddyBear.com and PajamaGram.com. "We've learned more than just what works on the Calyx Flowers site," says Steiner. "We've learned a testing approach that is applicable to all our web properties. Website Optimiser provides the empirical results I need to make solid marketing decisions going forward."
Dale and Thomas plans to use Google Website Optimiser for multivariate testing from now on, from logo results, to which headlines prompt higher conversion rates, to whether a Peanut Butter and White Chocolate DrizzleCorn™ picture sells more popcorn than a Toffee Crunch DrizzleCorn™ image. "If you understand the potential of testing and have the resources, there is no reason to pay a bunch of money. Website Optimiser is free and works incredibly well," Krier says. "With Website Optimiser, you never second-guess your users."
The results Laidlaw has seen with Google Website Optimiser have given him the confidence to make a future leap into e-commerce - to turn the site into a retail store instead of just a lead generator. "We can use all of the Google tactics for tracking and advertising," Laidlaw says. For now, he plans to keep refining the site to get the best possible results for Mattress Liquidators, testing different headlines and colors of links. "I'll just keep tweaking," he says. "I'll keep using Website Optimiser as long as my doors are open."
