A 37% conversion lift on a paid-media landing page

Heatmaps, session recordings and a 20-day split test turned a sparse landing page into one that converts far more of the traffic already paid for.

The challenge

What stood in the way.

A white paper drew strong paid traffic from Google Ads and LinkedIn, but the landing page converted at 4.72%. A higher rate would mean a better return on the same ad spend.

The approach

Let the data pick the winner.

01

Audit the control

Reviewed the existing page against conversion best practices.

02

Find the friction

Studied heatmaps and session recordings to see where visitors dropped off.

03

Build the variant

An above-the-fold CTA on mobile and desktop, recognizable customer logos and testimonials.

04

Split test

Ran a 50/50 A/B test for 20 days, until it reached statistical significance.
