Mapping the User Journey

Before you begin personalizing your website, you’ll need to understand your user journey. This means identifying key touchpoints for personalization opportunities. As an example, if you are using Google Ads to attract website visitors, and you have a testimonial near the top of the page, you could swap out that testimonial based on the visitor’s location, company size, job title, and other factors. This ensures that your website visitors are only seeing content that suits their needs, so they don’t have to go searching for it. 

Segmentation is Key

Segmenting your website visitors is how you will get the highest quality results. And, ultimately the most conversions. An example of this could be selecting multiple different testimonials for your Google Ads landing page, so your visitor will get the version that most resonate with their needs. You could have a case study for each of the main industries that you work with, showcasing how you have helped their specific needs. In turn, your website visitors will be more likely to relate to the company you featured in the testimonial. And, more likely to convert!

Leverage Data

Just like any other form of marketing, you’ll need to leverage data in order to make data-driven decisions. After your personalizations have been running for a while, it’s a good idea to see if there are any updates that can be made. If you’re not sure where to get started, it can also be helpful to test out various A/B testing strategies. In this case, you can compare similar, but slightly changed versions of your landing page. You might be surprised at how small changes can make a big difference!
