A/B testing for forms
Also known as "split testing", A/B testing lets you split traffic to work out which form variant performs better
What is A/B testing? What is split testing?
A/B testing – or split testing – is the practice of splitting up traffic into two different groups, and observing which performs better. You would typically test “Group A” and “Group B” against each other, hence the name “A/B testing”.
As an example, let’s say you believe that showing a green button instead of a red button will result in more leads.
A/B testings lets you easily run a test, whereby 50% of users see a red button and 50% see a green button.
Your A/B testing tool will count the conversions for each group and tell you which performed best. This allows you to implement changes with confidence, rather than just guessing which variant will perform.
A/B testing for forms
A/B testing is often performed on landing pages. Marketers often change and rearrange landing page elements that they think will deliver more conversions.
But online forms are often neglected. By changing the number of fields, the order of fields and the phrasing of key elements like buttons and questions, you can see significant increases in conversions.
Our A/B testing for forms feature will let you change all of these elements and see results from within your Growform account.
Best A/B tests for forms
When running form A/B tests, we recommend considering mainly experiments such as:
- What happens if we ask less questions?
- What happens if we ask personal details last, or omit them altogether?
- What happens if we do not ask for a phone number?
- What happens if we change the “ask”, or rephrase our buttons and headings?
How to A/B test your form
For the moment, the best way to A/B test your form is to use the tools built into your landing page builder.
Unbounce already has A/B testing built in, so just create 2 Growform forms and see which converts best.
In the future, we’re looking to build out the A/B testing functionality, so you will be able to A/B test your forms from your Growform dashboard.
