MAXIMIZING CONVERSIONS ON MOBILE

USER STORYMeet Rob
15
MAXIMIZING CONVERSIONS ON MOBILEOptimize your mobile calls-to-action
Placement is almost as important as the CTA itself
● The number of CTAs should naturally follow your mobile customer’s unique intentions
● Beware of scrolling banners on mobile● Make sure the CTA moves down the page as
the customer scrolls
DO THIS:Use “Call Us” CTAs. Many mobile users want to call a business after finding their site, so display phone numbersclearly.
16
DO THIS:Pair down to just the primary calls-to-actions and display relevant form fields
DON’T DO THISThe customer has to scroll to continue their journey. Don’t make them work for it, make it seamless
17
MAXIMIZING CONVERSIONS ON MOBILEOptimize your mobile forms
Your goal is to decrease friction
● Automatically present number pads for numerical forms
● Use progress bars to help customers through multipart forms
● Automatically advance through fields as information is entered
● Use inline validation to check for errors in real time, prior to submission
A study by HubSpot analyzed over 40,000 landing pages and found that conversion rates improved by 50% when the number of text entry fields were reduced from four to three.

18
DO THIS:Offer customers a number pad for fields requiring number entry
DON’T DO THISDon’t make customers take an extra step to switch to a number pad on their keyboard
19
MAXIMIZING CONVERSIONS ON MOBILESearch results: narrowing the field
Search smarter
● The search tool should be one of the first things a mobile customer sees when they visit your site
● Zero results is a conversion killer
ZERO RESULTS IS A CONVERSION KILLERBe flexible with misspellings, and don’t forget to include alternative product terms that customers may use.
20
DO THIS:Offer customers search filters to help them get to the product faster
DON’T DO THISDon’t offer a search field that will produce hundreds of results. Offer a place to refine the search
