Case Study

Step 1: Define Objectives

Primary Goal: Increase the conversion rate (purchases) by 20%.
Secondary Goals:

• Reduce cart abandonment rates.

• Improve website navigation and product discovery.

• Boost average session duration and engagement.

​

Step 2: Data Analysis with Google Analytics

We analyzed the following key metrics:

1. Conversion Funnel:

   • Identified drop-offs in the funnel (e.g., product pages, cart, checkout).

   • Example Insight: 40% of users abandon the site on the checkout page due to unclear shipping costs.

2. Behavior Flow:

   • Tracked user paths across the site to identify points of friction.

   • Example Insight: Users often bounce after browsing the "Best Sellers" section.

3. Audience Data:

   • Demographics and device usage revealed a high percentage of mobile users.

   • Example Insight: The mobile experience has a 15% lower conversion rate than desktop.

4. Site Speed Report:

   • Uncovered slow-loading pages, particularly on mobile.

   • Example Insight: The product pages take 4.2 seconds to load, above the recommended 3 seconds.

3. Improve Product Discovery

• Experiment with different homepage layouts, focusing on promotions and featured collections.

5. Add User Trust Signals

• Include customer reviews and ratings on product pages.

• Highlight secure payment badges and a satisfaction guarantee.

Step 4: Monitor Results with Google Analytics

Track the impact of each change using specific KPIs:

• Conversion Rate: Monitor improvements post-implementation.

• Cart Abandonment Rate: Assess changes after optimizing checkout.

• Mobile Bounce Rate: Measure the effectiveness of mobile updates.

• Time on Site: Evaluate engagement enhancements from redesigned sections.

Outcome
