Is It Worth Hiring An Agency To Optimise Your eCommerce Store?

Is It Worth Hiring An Agency To Optimise Your eCommerce Store?

One of the questions we get all the time is… Why should I use an agency to run split tests on my website?

Of course it does depend on the agency. Not all agencies are created equal, and choosing the right agency will be an important decision.

A number of agencies offer a broad range of services including SEO, Pay-Per-Click Management, Social Content Management etc.  

If you want specific eCommerce revenue gains, pick an agency that specialises in eCommerce.

If you’re not familiar with the term ‘split test’, it simply means splitting a percentage of your website traffic to version A of your page vs version B, and then measuring which version resulted in a better outcome.

Although this process sounds simple, the actual implementation can be quite another.

Having experts at your side that know this process inside and out from setup, implementation, and testing is invaluable.

The next question you may ask is:

“Why don’t I just spend an extra $10k on advertising rather than optimise my site?”

The advantage to optimising your site is that you reap ongoing benefits month after month and your revenue exponentially grows as your site traffic increases.

Take a look at the table below to see how even a 1% increase in conversion rate can increase your Return On Ad Spend (ROAS) by 200%.

From this table you can see how the same ad spend after Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) results in 150% greater revenue. Based on a $2000 ad spend the return is 200% higher. Imagine if you doubled the ad spend, or increased the conversion rate by another percent… your return would be exponentially greater.
