and what should you prepare to run it.\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Research \u201cTo uncover usability issues, conversion blockers, revenue opportunities\u201d\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Expert reviews\u00a0\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>The first step in your research process is to have three to four experts review your site. The idea here is to uncover usability issues that may be plaguing your website.<br \/>The expert review process can show you low-hanging fruits that can be turned into quick wins.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>User research\u00a0\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>2nd step in what you should prepare before diving into A\/B testing is knowing what your customers think \u2013 putting yourself in their shoes.<br \/>In order to come up with a sound hypothesis, you need to have an idea of how your customers think \u2013 and this means conducting adequate customer research before you launch any A\/B test.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>Data analysis\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Another important thing you should know is how your website is performing, in terms of numbers. I\u2019m talking about how much traffic you are getting? Which pages are getting the most traffic?\u00a0 What your current conversion rate is, etc.<br \/>Oftentimes, having this data at your fingertips helps you know the right pages you should focus on.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>Competitor analysis\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>If you don\u2019t know what your customers are doing then you\u2019re flying blind. You don\u2019t do competitor analysis to copy what your competitors are doing, but to know their strengths and weakness and to find a gap that can help you build a better customer experience.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>Hypothesis\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>The best A\/B tests are those that you can learn from. And if you are to learn from an A\/B test then you need to have a hypothesis for every test you run.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li>A Hypothesis is a documented statement that proposes a fix to an issue noticed in the research phase which predicts the result of that fix or solution, and it must be testable.\u00a0<br \/>Example of a hypothesis template:<br \/>Replacing ___ with __ will increase [conversion goal] by [%], because:<\/li>\r\n<li>If we use that template to make a hypothesis then it would look something like this:<br \/><br \/>Replacing our designs in the hero section with one that has a signup button will increase our conversion rate by 15% because users who visit our website and especially the home page would notice the button and click on it.<br \/><br \/><strong>Who\u2019s participating? Visitors of your site<\/strong><strong><br \/><\/strong><br \/><strong>What Changed? The hero section design<\/strong><strong><br \/><\/strong><br \/><strong>What effect should we notice? Our signup rates should get higher by around 15%<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Designs\u00a0\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Designs (in case we\u2019re testing different designs)\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Testing designs is important because people lose interest quickly, and if people see the same thing over and over they\u2019ll stop reacting to it.<\/li>\r\n<li>Another reason to test designs is that design trends change quickly, not just people\u2019s focus, designs aren\u2019t everlasting, take a look at designs from 2010 and designs now and you\u2019ll see what I\u2019m talking about.<\/li>\r\n<li>Last but not least, try radical changes rather than doing incremental changes, radical changes in design when you completely flip the table and use a new design that doesn\u2019t have much in common with the old design, on the other hand, incremental changes are just small changes that a designer does in a design in order to test tweaks of the same design.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>Messaging \/ Copy (in case we\u2019re testing different value propositions).\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Copies follow a similar trend to designs, they change often and people\u2019s focus usually shifts regularly, so it\u2019s important to always test new and updated value propositions against current ones to see if there have been any shifts in interest.<\/li>\r\n<li>Messages don\u2019t really change that frequently but it\u2019s always a good practice to test your message to match your current business\u2019 mission and vision.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>Page layouts (in case we\u2019re testing different page layouts).\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Page layout also follows the same principles that we have discussed in the above points.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>A\/B Test\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Code &#8211; Run\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>It\u2019s not a simple task and you need a developer to implement the A\/B test code. I consider this to be the easiest step because it requires no involvement of the marketing team and it\u2019s in the hands of the development team.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>Observe stats and declare a winner\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Probably your tool of choice (ours is FigPii) will tell you which of your variants won the test and which ones lost, you can dive deeper into the stats that this A\/B test offers you to get a bigger picture but you get the point.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>You win or you learn\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>No one wins all of their tests, actually, the industry average is around 12%-15% which means out of every 100 tests you\u2019ll run probably, 15 will win and the rest lose.<\/li>\r\n<li>But whether you win or lose, the good thing about the A\/B test is that you learn more and more about your website visitors.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Things_To_Avoid_When_Doing_AB_Tests\"><\/span>10 Things To Avoid When Doing A\/B Tests?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1942 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.figpii.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/featured.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.figpii.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/featured.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.figpii.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/featured-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.figpii.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/featured-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.figpii.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/featured-270x180.webp 270w, https:\/\/www.figpii.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/featured-770x515.webp 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>If you don\u2019t have enough traffic\/conversions\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>You can still run an A\/B test on a site with little traffic, but bear in mind that the test will take too long to reach a confidence level.
