Get to know your customers...

There are 2 ways your customers can communicate with you: through data analytics or direct feedback. It's important to understand what your customers think about and do with your existing site so you can identify patterns and pain points.

...to make effective change.

Give customers the opportunity to test out potential website updates, then listen to their feedback and see what the data says about how they interact. Once you're confident it's an improvement, we can go ahead and push that change live!

What do your customers think?

Lets find out!

The foundations of optimization.

Our Discovery-Based Approach is built upon 4 key components which, together, allow for intentional & impactful change.

Research traffic data.

We take a deep dive into the numbers to determine where a change would be most impactful.

Gather user feedback.

We solicit opinions and suggestions for improvement directly from potential customers.

Deliver strategic direction.

We determine which method would make the most effective use of time and resources.

Understand user patterns.

We observe user activity under curated circumstances to uncover patterns and trends.

Our working process.

Here's what you can expect when we join forces together. We aim to be as thorough & transparent as we can be.

Step 1

Understand

What defines success to you? Let's talk all about your business goals and how your website could support them. We'll discuss the valuable information it could provide about your users to ultimately drive revenue growth.

Step 2

Organize

Can you rely on your data? We'll clean up your analytics so you can intuitively find what's most important, understand it, and directly connect website events and conversion activities with your key performance indicators.

Step 3

Analyze

Where are the best opportunities? Taking a deep dive into the numbers, we'll shine a light on key patterns and trends. This information will highlight areas with the greatest potential to positively impact growth.

Step 4

Plan

How will we get from point A to Z? We'll map out a custom gameplan utilizing a targeted strategy that will prioritize our efforts and guide a long-term campaign. We'll thoroughly explain the rationale and what we aim to learn.

Step 5

Test

What do your users really want? Through various qualitative and quantitative methods, we take a discovery-based approach that puts the focus on learning. This allows users, when given options, to tell us themselves what is the best path forward.

Step 6

Improve

What did we learn and what should we do? With preferences communicated straight from the source, we recommend follow up tests or even live changes to your site that customers proved work. Then we move to the next opportunity and repeat.

Meet your digital wizards.

We may be good when it comes to numbers and UX, but the magic really happens when it comes to relationships. It's important to us that you not only enjoy the work we do, but the experience we share together.

  • Transparent & Direct

    We let you in on every step of our process so you know what's up.

  • Collaborative

    Teamwork makes the dream work. You're not “clients,” you're partners!

  • Laid Back

    We keep it light and stress free, complete with dad jokes and creative games.

More About Us

GBDA helped us reach our goals in developing our Google Analytics strategy. Their guidance in helping us configure and view our site's data is second to none.

We love how they took our ideas, but also brought in their own and helped us find the vision we were looking for in the design and function. We had a lot of requests and they were able to incorporate them into the site. We love the way it flows and have gotten lots of good feedback from customers!

About Optimization

We don't rely on hunches or intuition, and instead focus on what we can learn from experiments, tests, and analysis. Rather than trying to prove our ideas are right, we seek to provide multiple viable options or ask open-ended questions to allow the users to show what's best. We just sit back and learn, uncovering the best steps to take directly from the source.

Yes, every website can benefit from conversion rate optimization. The specific tactics that we deploy will depend on the site, the traffic, the number of conversions, and how you make money online — whether you have an ecommerce site, a SaaS site, or a lead generation site.

An experiment involves creating alternate designs on your live website that are only visible to certain users, allowing us to measure which performs best using statistics. A test is limited to interaction with your site as it currently exists, allowing us to identify user patterns or to directly solicit feedback for further analysis.

Unless you have a use for it, no, you probably shouldn't. Focusing energy and attention on what matters most without getting bogged down by “fluff” allows you to make better decisions, faster. It's worth the discussion to see what would be valuable when setting up your tracking.

About Working with GBDA

We utilize a "point system" that allows us to mix-and-match an approach that works for you. Different tasks have different requirements, and the decision of whether to experiment, test, or analyze and what will change each month based on needs. You just choose a point package for a month-to-month retainer that fits your budget and we'll plan out an ongoing strategy to fit.

Depending on what we are trying to learn and how, it could be a matter of weeks or even just days. Different methods require varying amounts of time to gather data and physically implementing any changes just takes time. Generally speaking, experiments take longer while testing and analysis can be wrapped up more quickly.

Two ways: ongoing review and by extrapolation from experimentation. By tracking your conversions and how they tie to revenue (if you don't sell things directly on the site), we can estimate the impact based on your site activity and assess it on a regular basis. After running experiments, we can ballpark the expected lift based on the statistics.

If you have designers, developers, or copywriters, or even just ideas of your own, we encourage incorporating them into the process. Or, just sit back and let us take the lead. So long as we manage expectations and roles between teams, anything can work. We're in this together and our main objective is your success, however you want to be involved.
