A/B Testing - Optimize your campaigns through split testing

How exactly does A/B testing work?

In A/B testing, two or more variants of a website are created to find out which variant is better received by users and achieves the desired results. These variants are then simultaneously presented to visitors and the statistical results are analyzed to identify the most effective variant. This enables data-based optimization of websites and a targeted improvement in the conversion rate.

What are the advantages of A/B testing?

A/B testing offers a wide range of benefits such as increasing conversion rate, optimizing user experience, reducing bounce rates and improving customer retention. It allows companies to make data-based decisions instead of guesswork when designing their websites. This allows resources to be targeted and the success of marketing campaigns to be measured.

Do I need to be tech-savvy to do A/B testing?

The process of A/B testing is usually easy. However, a basic technical understanding of web technologies is helpful in many cases. There are also numerous tools and services that simplify the A/B testing process and make it easier to create test variants.

• Data analysis: Collecting and analyzing the data to determine the statistical significance of the results and to identify the optimal variant.
• Optimization: Adaptation of the website according to the test results and, if necessary, execution of further A/B tests in order to continuously improve the success.
