THE TINY LAYOUT TWEAK THAT LED TO 20% MORE CONVERSIONS [TEST RESULTS]

Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

Moving social proof higher on a webpage can significantly boost conversions, as demonstrated by a 19.5% increase in signups when customer logos were placed under the hero banner. Testimonials from customers proved more effective than company-provided data points - conversions dropped 10% when data replaced testimonials. This highlights that people trust individuals more than corporations. Visitor intent also plays a critical role, as social proof is most effective for new visitors but may be less relevant for returning customers. To maximize the results of your own tests, base changes on data insights rather than assumptions and test the modifications thoroughly. After implementing changes, compare pre- and post-test data to identify potential unintended consequences.
