A/B testing, also known as split testing, is a method of comparing two versions of a webpage against each other to determine which one performs better. It involves showing version A (the control) to one group and version B (the variant) to another and analysing the results to see which version is more effective in achieving a predetermined goal.
A/B testing allows you to make data-driven changes to your website. It can help improve user engagement, increase conversion rates, and ultimately lead to better business outcomes by eliminating guesswork and understanding the impact of specific changes.
Practically any element on your website or can be tested, from headlines, call-to-action buttons, images, and copy text to form lengths, layouts, colours, and navigation paths.
To ensure each test is impactful and aligned with your overarching business objectives, we will work with you to create a detailed strategy and roadmap. This plan will prioritise the best tests and hypotheses to action based on a deep understanding of your business goals and customer behaviours, maximising the effectiveness of our A/B testing efforts.
The duration of an A/B test can vary widely but should continue until you achieve statistically significant results. This typically depends on the traffic volume, conversion rates, and the level of difference in performance between the variations. It could range from a few days to several weeks.
Statistical significance in A/B testing is a measure of confidence that the result observed is not due to random chance. It is usually expressed as a p-value; the lower the p-value, the greater the statistical significance. A common threshold for significance is a p-value of 0.05 or 5%.
While you can test multiple variations, it’s often best to start with a simple A/B test that compares just two versions to keep results clear and actionable. Overcomplicating the test with too many variations can confuse the outcome and require a much larger sample size.
A/B testing can potentially affect SEO if not handled properly. For instance, if search engines index both versions of a page, it could lead to duplicate content issues. However, if correctly implemented using canonical tags and ensuring the test is temporary, it should not harm your SEO efforts.
