We use Google’s testing analysis tool, Website Optimizer, to create and manage the optimization test. At this point we consult and agree with you on the minimum confidence level of the test (tells you how sure you can be of the test results), according to your landing page traffic and realistic expectations..
Once we have created the test and the necessary changes are implemented on your website, we will launch the test and start monitoring its performance. For low traffic landing pages, we usually run A/B tests (two completely redesigned pages) and for medium and high traffic web sites we can run either A/B tests or multivariate tests (multiple variations of page elements).
We recommend that you run the tests for at least two weeks, and taking into consideration of weekends, seasonal spikes in traffic and other marketing initiatives that might affect the test results. Depending on your website traffic and the confidence level we agreed on, the testing process take between two weeks to eight weeks. We don’t recommend running tests for more than 8 weeks.
