Empirical Path Web Analytics & Market Research

 

Project Capsule: Solar Equipment


Empirical Path consultants increased conversions by visitors to a key landing page for a solar equipment e-commerce business.  Analyzed historical Google Analytics data to identify the best page to split test.  Designed a Google Website Optimizer multi-variate experiment to test alternative copy, links, and price presentations.  Implemented inbound phone call tracking to provide a more complete picture of conversions.  Monitored experiment, removed under-performing combinations, and adjusted amount of traffic diverted to test until best-performing options were revealed.
