1: Unlocking Conversions Without Bigger Ad Budgets
Matthew, one of your specialties is helping brands increase conversion rates without necessarily spending more on ads. What are a few of the most effective strategies you recommend for ecommerce store owners looking to maximize their existing traffic? What are some quick wins versus long-term strategies you’ve seen work best?
2: Avoiding the Biggest Conversion Killers
You’ve reviewed thousands of ecommerce sites. What would you say are the top three biggest conversion killers that you spot over and over again? And how can businesses fix them? Any common myths or mistakes people should be aware of when diagnosing conversion issues?
3: Data-Driven Optimizations for Growth
In your experience, what key data points should ecommerce brands focus on when trying to make smarter conversion decisions? How can tools like heatmaps, A/B testing, and session recordings really move the needle? Can you share an example where a simple data insight led to a major breakthrough?
