How long does a typical A/B test need to run?
expand_more
It depends on traffic volume and conversion rate. We calculate required sample size upfront so the test reaches statistical significance. Most tests need at least 1-2 weeks; high-traffic pages can conclude faster. We never stop early just because one variant is "winning."
What should we test first?
expand_more
We prioritize by potential impact (traffic × current conversion rate × estimated lift) and ease of implementation. Headlines, hero offers, form length, and trust signals on high-traffic pages usually deliver the fastest, most reliable wins.
Do we need a dedicated testing tool?
expand_more
A testing tool helps for complex experiments and gives more reliable results. We work with tools such as VWO, Optimizely, and Convert, or build a custom setup. Google Optimize was shut down in 2023. For simpler tests we can sometimes use the testing tools built into your website platform, or split traffic by hand and analyze it carefully.
Can you test on pages with low traffic?
expand_more
Yes, but it takes longer to reach significance. We often start with higher-traffic pages to generate learnings quickly, then apply those insights (with validation) to lower-traffic pages. We can also use methods that shift traffic toward the better version as a test runs, when that suits.
How do you avoid "losing" money while testing?
expand_more
We set clear success rules before each test, plus a limit on how much a weaker version can cost you. We watch for large drops and can switch back quickly. Most importantly, we focus tests on pages that already have meaningful traffic so the cost of learning is low relative to the upside.
What's the difference between A/B and multivariate testing?
expand_more
A/B tests one element (or a small set of coordinated changes) against a control. Multivariate tests multiple elements simultaneously to understand interactions. We usually start with focused A/B tests for clearer, faster learnings and move to multivariate when we have specific interaction hypotheses.
Do you test on mobile and desktop separately?
expand_more
We analyze results by device and can run device-specific variants when behavior differs significantly. Many tests show different winners on mobile vs desktop, so segmentation is important.
How do you make sure results are statistically valid?
expand_more
Before launch we work out how many visitors we need, and we set a high bar for confidence (typically 95% or more). We do not stop early on a lucky streak, and we check that a win is big enough to matter for your business. We write down our method so you can trust the outcomes.
What if a test has no clear winner?
expand_more
That's still valuable data. It tells us the change wasn't material, or that we need more traffic, or that the hypothesis was wrong. We document the null result and move on to higher-impact ideas. Not every test produces a winner, and good testing programs accept that.
Can testing hurt user experience or brand?
expand_more
Poorly designed tests can. We avoid tests that deliberately degrade experience for half your visitors. We also consider brand consistency and only test variations that could plausibly live on the site long-term if they win.
How do you prioritize which pages to test?
expand_more
We rank pages by how many visitors they get, how much they could improve, and how hard the change is. High-traffic, high-friction pages (checkout, lead forms, key landing pages) usually rank highest. We build a prioritized backlog with estimated ROI for each test idea.
Do you share raw data or just conclusions?
expand_more
We provide clear executive summaries with recommended actions plus access to detailed results, dashboards, and methodology. You should be able to understand and challenge the findings.
How often should we be running tests?
expand_more
As often as we have good hypotheses and enough traffic to learn. For many clients that means 2-6 active tests per month once the program is mature. The goal is a steady cadence of validated improvements, not testing for the sake of testing.
Can you help us build an internal testing culture?
expand_more
Yes. We often train marketing and product teams on hypothesis development, experiment design, and reading results so they can run their own tests over time. We can also stay involved as ongoing partners or advisors.
How do we get started with better testing?
