Tools for Conversion Rate Optimization

There are a number of tools you can use to assist you in your conversion optimization efforts, including tools that analyze your current layout, ones that support you by automating experiments and AB tests, and ones that thoroughly measure your results.

These are just a few of my favorites:

• Unbounce. Unbounce is a leader in the conversion optimization industry, and I’ve already mentioned them a few times. Its main function is to help webmasters and marketers build and customize their own unique landing pages, making it easy for you to separate your traffic streams, set up AB tests, and manage independent CTAs. Unbounce offers more than 200 different templates for you to choose from, a great deal of customizability, and in-depth reports that help you understand the conversion performance on each of your pages.

• Hello Bar. Hello Bar takes a slightly different angle to the process of conversion. Rather than aiding you in setting up specific landing pages, Hello Bar is all about adding new features to your existing website to facilitate more conversions. Most of these revolve around some kind of popup, greeting bar, or other semi-advertisement that naturally stands out to your users. Naturally, the company also offers customization and an in-depth analytics platform to help you track your results.

• OptinMonster. OptinMonster is another great tool for conducting AB tests and building better CTAs, but this one specializes in “opt-in” moments, or in other words, email subscriptions. With OptinMonster, you can design your own popups, landing pages, callouts, or other forms of CTA to attract more email subscribers, and put them to the test in a live environment, comparing the results of your different versions. Many of its tools can also be used for general lead generation purposes, such as contact forms and requests for more information.

• VWO. VWO is another company I’ve made reference to more than once in this guide, as they’re another leader in the conversion optimization industry. VWO’s integrated dashboard is designed specifically to allow marketers and webmasters to test their ideas more easily. AB tests are a standard feature here, but there are many other types of tests the software offers, including split URL testing and multivariate tests for SEO. If you’re committed to ongoing experimentation, it’s a good choice.

• Optimizely. Finally, we come to Optimizely. Working for both websites and mobile apps, Optimizely helps you build and execute different variations of your landing pages, popups, and other CTAs. It also offers a number of different plan types, from basic testing and analytics to in-depth integrations and variables to play around with.

Most of these tools I’ve outlined have specific areas of expertise, and they all offer something different when it comes to user experience. Most of them offer free trials, so I encourage you to give each of them a try and see which ones will be the best fit for your brand—you may even end up using more than one.
