Digital Impact Optimization (DIO) DIO is the art and science of getting people to your website and then influencing them to act once they get there. In a sense, it ensures your website is making or exceeding its intended business impact. It promotes continuous, incremental change that drives sales and marketing. We target valuable user actions called conversions that have a link to profitability. Examples include filling out a contact form, buying a product, clicking an important button, subscribing to a newsletter, or viewing valuable content. It is a data-driven process wherein we form and test hypotheses based on user data, analytics, and persuasive neuromarketing principles. It typically involves elements of visual design, copywriting, user experience, psychology, and testing different versions of your website. Origin Eight Confidential. Do not distribute. Page 6

Why the CRO part of DIO is Beneficial What if you could make twice the money from the same amount of web traffic? Doubling your conversion rates amounts to doubling your revenue. It s much easier to double your business by doubling your conversion rate than by doubling your traffic Jeff Eisenberg, Author of Buyer Legends CRO Power Law: Even small changes in conversion rate can have an exponentially larger impact on profits. CRO focuses on making your existing website more productive, both near-term and long-term. Makes your site traffic across all channels work harder to convert sales while increasing leads, valuable pageviews, enrollments, or donations. Based on continuous improvement vs. episodic campaigns. Additional revenue can be reinvested in expanded marketing activities. https://conversion-rate-experts.com/power-law/ Origin Eight Confidential. Do not distribute. Page 8

These are an outsider s opinion, and just a few examples. It s best when we can get to know your business. Origin Eight Confidential. Do not distribute. Page 16
Homepage Simple menu. Easy access to search. Main CTA. I like it. Origin Eight Confidential. Do not distribute. Page 17
Homepage Nice visuals and access to products. Would be good to test how many people click on these vs the Products menu in the main navigation. Origin Eight Confidential. Do not distribute. Page 18
Homepage Running an Artificial Intelligence scan of what the human eye focuses on when first seeing your homepage, your main call to action Sign up for dealer pricing may not be getting the visual attention it should. Red indicates a high degree of focus, green a lower degree, and no color means none at all. Origin Eight Confidential. Do not distribute. Page 19
Homepage These are all of the places that the human eye jumps around (called saccades ) in the first 7.5 seconds of viewing your site. The eye goes to the red circles first, yellow second, green last. Depending on your business goals, you may want to focus users down a more specific path or call to action. While esoteric, this stuff does really matter. Origin Eight Confidential. Do not distribute. Page 20
Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) How can we persuade website visitors to take action? 21
These are just a few examples, a few hypotheses. There s always more to do, more to improve, and every hypothesis needs to be measured and backed up with data. Origin Eight Confidential. Do not distribute. Page 22
Your homepage: Image sliders Image sliders almost always negatively impact conversions. Origin Eight Confidential. Do not distribute. Page 23
Your homepage: Image sliders Research shows that most image sliders or carousels decrease conversions, i.e. valuable activities that visitors perform on your website, such as making a purchase decision. Almost all of the testing I ve managed has proven content delivered via carousels to be missed by users. Few interact with them and many comment that they look like adverts and so we ve witnessed the banner blindness concept in full effect. In terms of space saving and content promotion a lot of competing messages get delivered in a single position that can lead to focus being lost. Adam Fellowes, UX Researcher Reasons: 1. 2. 3. 4. The human eye reacts to movement, and will miss the other important content on your site. Too many messages diluted or no message. Banner blindness phenomenon people are used to advertising copy in banners, so they just skip over them, mentally and visually ignoring them. Many people put their value proposition in sliders, which usually severely damages conversions. More info: http://shouldiuseacarousel.com/ and https://vwo.com/blog/image-slider-alternatives/ 24
Your homepage: Value proposition Your value proposition is sitting in a slider, which probably will be ignored. Your value proposition should clearly and quickly orient your visitors, telling them what you do, why you re different, why they should care, and what s in it for them. It tends to have a major impact on conversions. Origin Eight Confidential. Do not distribute. Page 25
Other pages The button should likely say Checkout rather than Submit Order, which might induce a sense of psychological friction, i.e. I m not ready to submit this order I haven t done all the steps yet. I get that Professional Review may be a goal, with no purchase necessary, but would be good to A/B test these kinds of things, if it hasn t been done already. You may also want to test introducing Professional Review at this step rather than waiting until later. Origin Eight Confidential. Do not distribute. Page 26
Performance test Website performance is a fundamental, key factor in driving conversions. You can see that there are some opportunities for improvement, shown by the letter grades from https://www.webpagetest.org. Any X grades mean not at all. Origin Eight Confidential. Do not distribute. Page 27
