Easily A/B Test Your Website's Call-to-Action Using Content Experiments API


You may have seen our news about the launch of the Content Experiments API a few months ago, and we’re excited to share one of the ways it’s been used since the launch. SiteApps created an experiment to A/B test your website’s call to action using our Content Experiments API -- take a look at their post below to see how they did it!



Live A/B testing is arguably the most scientific strategy you can use for conversion rate optimization. Nothing better than identifying what really sells more than your actual users in the real environment. And probably the call-to-action (CTA) button – “Sign-Up“, “Buy Now” or “Learn More” – is one of the most important elements to test. Some websites earned millions with a simple button change:





There’s an app for that


We created the Button Optimizer app on SiteApps to allow any website to instantly test & optimize their call-to-action without any technical knowledge (and for free!). With three simple steps, you can increase your website’s conversion right now:


  1. Install SiteApps on your website (it’s free)

  2. Create a Content Experiment in Google Analytics

  3. Add the Button Optimizer app


Then you can see this sexy report in Google Analytics and see how a small change can really impact your bottom line:

Steve Jobs On How Content Is Truly King [video]

Content Truly Is King In the middle of this amazing "lost" Steve Jobs interview is some of the best thinking on content and product development I've ever discovered. Jobs discusses the very important distinction between process and the masterful craftsmanship required to develop great products. Listening to this extraordinary segment I thought Jobs was contradicting Dov Seidman's book How: Why How We Do Anything Means Everything . On repeated listening not so much. Jobs is warning against process police taking over and attempting to substitute hollow business process where passion, commitment and genius should rule. Seidman is suggesting that creating the kinds of teams Jobs was famous for leading is the only business process anyone owns. There are no secrets and intellectual property is a poor substitute for fast moving new market creating genius (iPad, iPhone for example). "People get very confused that the process is the content." Content Greatness Unde...

Can patient experience and satisfaction drive healthcare marketing?

Patient experience and satisfaction is no longer a nice too have, but a got to have in the evolving consumer-centric healthcare market place.   Consumers are paying more out of pocket and when consumers pay more they expect more.   A better healthcare consumer and patient experience in the end means a more compliant patient pre and post treatment.   Higher level of service and medical process satisfaction brings the healthcare consumer back in a sea of providers who all offer the sameness.   It is one of the primary drivers for a reason to return.

Trust Is A CATCH-22

Pebbles and CATCH-22's What does it mean when a cool idea for a watch earns $11M on Kickstarter? Certainly one clear and loud implication is crowdfunding is ready for prime time, but there are more sweeping and profound implications. Why would anyone make anything without testing and creating a digital market long before materials are purchased to make something material. Pebble's brilliant Kickstarter campaign proves the man, machine, mountain parable. Match the right man (or product) to the right mountain and supply him (or her) with the right tools and the mountain will be climbed. Make the Pebble pitch to Walmart and it is a nonstarter. Pebble Smartwatch 2013 video from Pebble Technology on Vimeo . This "match the hatch" of product to market and marketplace has never been more important. You have one chance to make a first impression so matching your idea to favorable audience is critical. There is a CATCH-22 hidden in our new distribution model. You can't ...
