A/B testing, also known as split testing, is a methodical approach to comparing two variations of a landing page to determine which performs better. By testing one element at a time, you can identify what resonates most with your audience and refine your strategies accordingly.
How Does A/B Testing Work?
A/B testing involves selecting a single element to test, creating a control version and a modified variation, randomly assigning visitors to each version, and collecting data on their interactions.
Statistical analysis of the collected data reveals which version is more effective in meeting the chosen goal.
A/B testing provides valuable insights into user behavior and allows for informed decision-making to enhance content performance and achieve desired outcomes.
