Web Analytics for Site Optimization
Time:8:30am-5:30pm
Instructor:Jennifer Veesenmeyer, VP of Analytics, Stratigent, LLC
Description:

How do you make your website better? If this is your challenge, then this is the workshop you've been waiting for. This workshop will give you the tricks, tools and techniques needed to improve navigation, increase engagement and improve conversion rates.

  • How can a website be optimized?
  • How do you increase effectiveness?
  • What tools are available?
  • Which techniques have the highest impact?
  • What expertise is needed?
  • Where should I focus my efforts?
  • What are the hazards to watch for?
 
 

What you will learn:

There are many levers you can adjust in order to get more value out of your website. Understanding the variety of possible controls and the ability to measure the impact of adjusting them is the key to website success.

  • User Centered Design
    Knowing how to improve your site means knowing who your visitors are and what they're trying to accomplish. This workshop explores the design and use of personas and how to create a customer-specific online experience.
  • Persuasion Scenarios
    Different visitors try to accomplish different tasks at different times. How well are you tracking their progress? Learn what comes after clickstream analysis.
  • A/B Split & Multivariate Testing
    Some firms are trusting their metrics over their instincts. Is a blue button better? Is the copy too discursive? Don't leave it to intuition - test it out on your site.
  • Customer Life Cycle Funnel
    The classic customer life cycle moves from suspect to prospect to customer. Measuring that progression will highlight the marketing and sales functions that need the most attention.
  • Conversion
    Did they subscribe? register? download? purchase? The conversion is the ultimate sign of success. This workshop will investigate the methods for continuous improvement of all conversion-related factors.
  • Participation Calculation
    Are people using your Web site? Are they coming and going or do they stick around? Do they join in? Do they sign up? How well are you measuring the value of the interactive relationship you have created?
Agenda:
  • Building a Measurable Website
    Measuring the usability of your site comes right after identifying its KPIs. User-centered design identifies the needs, wants, and limitations of site visitors.
  • Up Close and Personal with Personas
    Why do leading websites design around personas? What are they and how do you create them? How are they best used to optimize the design and navigational elements on the site?
  • Understanding Visitor Behavior
    Cumbersome navigation is the nemesis of every website designer and the nightmare of every surfer. Web analytics reveals where people go wrong on your site. But not all visitors to a website are equal in value and not all traffic sources produce quality traffic. Analyzing visitor behavior reveals not only where the site is faulty, but which types of visitors are not worth the optimization effort.
  • On-Site Search
    How visitors use your on-site search capability reveals not only where your navigation is failing, but also where your promotions are misguiding and where your content is lacking.
  • Content Effectiveness
    The cost of creating, maintaining and indexing content is now high enough to warrant a review of how well your investment is paying off. Findability and consumption combine to show how well your content is living up to the needs of your visitors and the promise of your website.
  • Advanced Topics:
    • Web analytics for intranets
    • Content management systems and dynamic data
    • 1st party vs. 3rd party cookies
    • Data cleansing
    • Frames, Flash & AJAX
    • Form analysis
    • Increase natural search ranking
    • Optimize visitor conversion from search
    • A/B and Multivariate Testing
