Without an analytical approach to guide these decisions, they are often made based on personal preference or the persuasiveness of a vocal team member. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nEnter multivariate content testing, a powerful tool for selecting the right content elements in order to maximize the desired actions from the site\u2019s visitors. While multivariate content testing sounds complicated, the concept is really pretty simple. It is, basically, a methodology for selecting and presenting variations of site content while measuring the results of each variation based on key factors, such as page conversion rate (e.g., purchasing an item, signing up for a newsletter, etc.). <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nMultivariate testing goes beyond traditional A\/B split testing to optimize site content in a much more efficient and complete manner. One of multivariate testing\u2019s underpinning principles is that none of the content areas are independent of the others in their overall effect on the visitor. By recognizing this, multivariate testing can prevent brand managers from making a drastic and damaging change to their websites even though A\/B split testing could have potentially made this move seem like a good idea. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nHere is an example scenario to highlight the difference between these two methods: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>With A\/B split testing we see that \u201cImage A\u201d performs better than \u201cImage B,\u201d so we eliminate \u201cImage B\u201d from that page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>With Multivariate Testing we see that \u201cImage B\u201d actually performs better than \u201cImage A\u201d when it is combined with \u201cParagraph B.\u201d We now have the best performing combination because we were able to learn that \u201cImage B\u201d just needed to be placed in the right context for users. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nThe differences might be subtle, but sometimes a single percent change in conversion can make all the difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once visitors reach a landing or conversion page, the content that they encounter is the overriding factor that will determine what they do\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":1779,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[106],"issue":[27],"collection":[3],"class_list":["post-1776","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-measurement-analytics","issue-content","collection-personalization"],"acf":[],"gutentor_comment":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/leapgroupnetwork.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1776","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/leapgroupnetwork.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/leapgroupnetwork.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leapgroupnetwork.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/40"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leapgroupnetwork.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1776"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/leapgroupnetwork.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1776\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leapgroupnetwork.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1779"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/leapgroupnetwork.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1776"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leapgroupnetwork.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1776"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leapgroupnetwork.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1776"},{"taxonomy":"issue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leapgroupnetwork.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issue?post=1776"},{"taxonomy":"collection","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leapgroupnetwork.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/collection?post=1776"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
