How to improve your funnels with data
So many creatives hate data... and I get it, it's boring... but I promise if you learn how to use these 2 tools and 1 framework you'll be able to stand out from all the other "funnel builders" and "website designers" out there... Before I share the tools, let's use our imaginations... Imagine a client comes to you... and asks for a funnel that converts better than their current one. They're frustrated because they're not seeing the results they expected. This is where you, armed with the right tools and knowledge, can shine... You confidently give the client a step-by-step action plan on how you're going to solve their conversion problems and improve their results. The client feels good knowing they chose the right person and you feel good being competent in delivering value (backed by data). If you like that imagination exercise, keep reading... First, let's talk about Google Analytics... It's not just about numbers and graphs; it's about understanding the story behind user behavior. With Google Analytics, you can track where your clients' visitors are coming from, what pages they're spending the most time on, and where they drop off. This insight is crucial. It helps you identify the weak points in the funnel and what's working well. Now, pair this with Mouseflow. This tool is like having a crystal ball. Mouseflow lets you see exactly how users interact with a site through heatmaps, session replays, and form analytics. You can literally watch a user's journey, see where they hesitate, where they click, and where they get confused. It's like being in the room with them, watching over their shoulder! Now, here's the framework that brings it all together: Analyze, Hypothesize, Test, and Iterate. 1. Analyze: Use Google Analytics to gather data and Mouseflow to observe user behavior. 2. Hypothesize: Based on your analysis, form hypotheses on what changes could improve conversion rates. 3. Test: Implement these changes, whether it's tweaking the design, modifying the copy, or adjusting the funnel flow. 4. Iterate: Re-analyze and refine. Digital design is never static; it's a constant process of improvement.
