A/B Testing is an important element when understanding conversion rate optimization. It is the process of testing one version of a webpage/element against another. It is simply version A versus version B. When working with a CRO Agency to look at what changes would bring the best result, their focus will be to create a roadmap to test out different hypotheses. These hypotheses will then be placed into A/B testing scenarios where the variation is tested against the current version, also known as the control.
Based on the hypotheses, the Conversion Rate Optimization agency would be able to create several variations and test them to see which version works best. Tests vary from small scale button changes to more advanced changes such as full-page redesigns. However, our process is very scientific, and our focus is to always A/B test new changes and let the data do the talking.
Methods of conducting A/B Testing​
A/B Testing
A/B testing is simply testing Version A against Version B. The changes are on the same URL, and usually revolves around changing messages, adding in a new element, or modifying buttons.
MVT (Multivariate Testing)
MVT testing is when you want to test different variations based on specific findings. For example, if you want to test which colour your users respond to better, you would have an A vs B vs C vs D scenario.
Split URL Testing
When looking at making full page changes, this is the best process. A new URL will be created which would be something like example.com/v1 and would be tested against the original.
Our A/B Testing Capability
When it comes to testing, we are agnostic in our approach and work with several A/B Testing tools. The tools we use are all industry-leading and help us in identifying, developing, testing and reporting on each A/B Testing Conversion Rate Optimization Experiment.
