Variant Testing Ensures Your Law Firm Website Converts

It is fairly easy to spend $3,000 – $5,000 on law firm websites but what do you get for the money? If you are going to spend that kind of money you sure a heck better get a solid return on that investment. It comes down to two things, how well the site takes a visitor and turns them into a telephone call and how many people see it.

The way to ensure the site converts visitors into telephone calls is Google Experiments. This tool actually lets you do A/B testing on your site to ensure it is converting at a high rate. If it isn’t converting, you simple adjust elements and test again. This is the only proven method out there to guarantee a visitor actually picks up the phone.

It takes developers a little longer to develop with this method but it pays off long-term. A site that converts at a high rate has better ranking and generates more calls.

Google Adwords can be expensive but gives great ROI

According to WordStream, a good conversion rate is about 5%. This takes time and effort to get 5% of all website visitors to connect with you. A/B testing ensures your conversion rate isn’t 1%. According to their article WordStream says “So what is a good conversion rate? About 1/4 of all accounts have less than 1% conversion rates. The median was 2.35%, but the top 25% of accounts have twice that – 5.31% – or greater. Check out the far right red bar – the top 10% of AdWords advertisers have account conversion rates of 11.45%.”
