CRO For Ecommerce Brands With the U.A.M Method | £20m+ In Incremental Revenue | Founder & CEO Customers Who Click

9/10 brands we work with don't know how to use their homepage here's how we fix them... Firstly, it's important to understand that most homepages fall into 1 of 3 types... 1. The Mystery Shop? - It's not clear what you sell - It's not clear why anyone should buy from you 2. Brand-Centric Showcase - It's super focused on the brand and their what - But not on the customer and their why 3. Product Overload - A carousel with 6 different sales messages - Purely focused on products the brand wants to push While there is no fixed structure to follow here's what you can do to maximise this opportunity... 1. Explain what you sell 2. Explain why you sell it 3. Simplify your navigation 4. Clearly display USPs 5. Leverage high quality images & videos 6. Optimise for mobile users 7. Use clear CTAs 8. Show off social proof 9. Analyse, test, and iterate No matter what you do and where you direct your paid traffic... A large amount of people will see your homepage. Don't miss that opportunity. #cro #marketing #digitalmarketing #ecommerce #shopify #DTC

Love the 3 types you described. From my experience homepages are mostly for organic traffic, so it's also important to keep that in mind

Extremely valuable digital real estate that is often far from optimised. Love the list mate.

Homepage game strong, always

When a potential customer visits the homepage they should get the answer to What’s in it for them in seconds! And none of the three types answer that, Will Laurenson

I see the home page as the centre of a spoked wheel. Ideally, if a potential customer is interested in a particular product or service you sell, they should come to the website having found that product or service (as a landing page - at the other end of the spokes!) But if they end up on the home page, a visitor should be able to find what they want easily, including the product, answers to their questions and concerns, and with social proof to help confirm their purchase decision.

Number 3 I've seen way too often. And just in general, I've seen that prime above-the-fold section not used well at all.
