In a world where 2-3% lead conversion from a website is the high average, what the %$^# happens to the other 97% of shoppers who don’t submit leads? How do we get THOSE people to engage and submit a lead on a vehicle?
Better yet, how do I get those shoppers who are ready to commit to a new purchase in the next 30 days to submit a lead so we can identify and sell them? What motivates them and what can my website do to get THOSE people engaged?
Conversion has always been our challenge that has consistently left us with an unquenchable thirst for more. How DO we raise conversion without spending a fortune on widgets or changing website providers every 8-12 months?
Well the good news is, we have assimilated much information over years of data analysis, A/B testing and actual shopper interviews and have found very specific ways to raise total lead conversion from a dealership website by 40-115% or more, no gimmicks, no changing providers, just utilizing the shopper behavioral data and consumer testing data we has amassed over the last several years. This can easily be done on the micro level on your own dealership website and I can show you how.
The answers lie in that data, and the data fits into five main topics:
- Where on the website am I engaging the shopper?
- What is my enticement or motivator for the shopper to submit?
- What Information am I asking for from the shopper?
- How am I asking for that Information?
- What am I going to give the shopper in return for that information?
Starting from the home page, do a click by click analysis of your website to find a new and pre-owned car. Mark how many clicks, and what you see along the way, to complete specific tasks. Are you getting exactly what you want with each click? How soon do you see a specific vehicle, with color-coded image and price? Once there, how many ways, and in which ways can I submit a form. Meaning, exactly what buttons are present and what do they say? When you click on these buttons, what do you get?
This is the type of click-by-click analysis we do by the terra bytes; looking at millions of shopper sessions and profiles. But what we want to isolate are those paths of shoppers who showed high intent, or intensity, and no lead submission. We can look at these “hot” paths that led to nothing and learn why, try something new and compare those results. And the results are IN!
