Website Testing Opportunity #2: Call to Action Button
Last time I looked at surrounding you point-of-action or call-to-action with assurances to help convince visitors to act on it. This month I want to look at examples of the actual call-to-action button.
The call to action is considered one of the most important features of improving conversion rates but you really need to be testing other items alongside it to help boost overall conversion rates substantially, don’t just test the call-to-action button on it’s own again and again!
Let’s look at some call to action testing ideas and examples:
- Placement and Prominence – Test the location of the CTA: Left, right, central, above or below headlines and content, on pictures. Test the white space around the CTA to make it stand out. Wherever it is make sure it is relevant to the content around it and that it is above the fold.
- Size – Test the size and shape. Bigger isn’t always better, sometimes a good CTA comes after a larger headline.
- Colour – Contrasting colours stand out well. Use the colour wheel to find bright, harmonious colours. A colour that hurts your eyes isn’t going to get clicked!
- Graphics and Icons – Test right arrows if your page leads to another page. Test down arrows if you want users to download something. Use a shopping cart icon for a purchase action.
- Wording – Test different lengths of text. Test telling them what they are going to be doing next, what they are going to get or what you want them to do.

Attribution 101: Google Analytics and AdWords
In today’s multichannel world, there are mountains of data which provide insights into how users have interacted with your business and their path to conversion (or non-conversion). It is important to understand performance with multichannel marketing, which can be achieved through attribution modelling. Attribution refers to assigning credit to something (a channel, touchpoint, etc.) for the role it played in the final conversion. An attribution model is a rule, or set of rules, that assigns this credit correctly to the right channel or touchpoint.

Why Bing is a Valuable Paid Media Platform
For a long time, Bing, the UK’s second-largest search engine, has been underappreciated and, in some instances, even ignored. Often regarded as the inferior search engine to market leader Google, Bing has historically struggled to appeal to many in the digital world. Most PPC analysts would give justified reasons for neglecting Bing for so long; these include the volume of traffic and the user experience just not matching up to Google. However, the validity of these assessments is now diminishing. Bing has grown and improved rapidly in the last couple of years; if you are not integrating it into your comprehensive digital marketing plan, you run the risk of missing out on a large portion of your chosen market and significant revenue.
