  • In order to act on the data you collect, you must be able to understand and interpret the analytics
  • It’s crucial to understand the mindset of the visitor plus the organizational objectives and goals, and align those into a conversion strategy that can be tested
  • Move users forward with micro conversions and get them saying yes
  • Sending more traffic is not the solution if your users are unprepared or under-prepared to make a conversion when they arrive; increased numbers won’t solve your conversion issue

When I meet with clients, I always like to explain that instead of focusing on secondary metrics (like impressions or clicks), it’s better to look at business goals – primary metrics such as conversions.
