A/B optimisation is now a central component of successful online strategies. Many companies use this method to continuously improve their digital offerings. A/B optimisation makes it possible to directly compare different variants of content, designs or functions with each other. This results in data-based decisions that have a real impact. The benefits are obvious: higher conversion rates, better user experience and more efficient use of resources.
Why A/B optimisation is so important
Many companies opt for A/B optimisation because it delivers results quickly and reliably. Instead of relying on gut feeling or guesswork, real user data is analysed. This helps to better understand your own target group. Clients often report that they were able to generate significantly more leads or reduce their bounce rate after A/B optimisation.
An example: An online shop tests two different call-to-action buttons on its product page. Variant A shows a green button labelled „Buy now“, variant B a red button labelled „Order now“. After a few days, it becomes clear that variant B generates significantly more clicks. This realisation can be implemented immediately.
Another example: A newsletter registration is tested in two variants. Variant A offers a discount voucher, variant B a free e-book download. The A/B optimisation shows that the discount voucher achieves more registrations.
A/B optimisation is also very effective for landing pages. For example, the placement of forms, the font size or the colour of buttons can be tested. Every small change can have a big impact.
A/B optimisation in practice
A/B optimisation is not only interesting for large companies. Small and medium-sized companies also benefit from this method. It is easy to implement and does not require a great deal of technical knowledge. Many tools support the process and deliver clear results.
An example: A fitness studio tests two different headlines on its website. Variant A is „Get fit now“, variant B is „Your way to more energy“. The A/B optimisation shows that variant B encourages more visitors to fill out the contact form.
Another example: A travel portal tests two different images on its homepage. Variant A shows a tropical island, variant B a cityscape. The A/B optimisation shows that the cityscape generates more clicks on the booking page.
A/B optimisation is also very useful for email campaigns. The subject, the content or the placement of links can be tested. Every small change can improve the open rate and click rate.
A/B optimisation for meta descriptions and titles
A/B optimisation is also very effective for meta descriptions and titles. This can increase the click-through rate in the search results. An example: A meta description is tested with and without emojis. The A/B optimisation shows that the version with emojis generates more clicks.
Another example: A meta title is tested with and without a product category. The A/B optimisation shows that the version with the product category generates more clicks.
A/B optimisation can also help with the placement of keywords in meta descriptions and titles. This can improve visibility in the search results.

BEST PRACTICE with one customer (name hidden due to NDA contract) A medium-sized company wanted to increase the conversion rate of its product pages. Together with iROI-Coaching, an A/B optimisation was carried out. Different variants of product descriptions, images and call-to-action buttons were tested. The results showed that a detailed product description with bullet points and a red call-to-action button increased the conversion rate by 25 per cent. The implementation of these findings led to a significant increase in sales.
