When writing copy for a landing page, especially for a B2B site, do you write in plain language that everyone can understand or do you use technical jargon?
Most common wisdom has said that jargon doesn’t work in copy, but that’s a blanket statement that may not always be true.
When it comes to traffic acquisition, the money is in the headline.
In this 2016 State of Conversion Optimization Report, we gave a 48 question survey to 722 people who work in the optimization space.

Many modern psychology researchers have suggested that the human brain has three (figurative) parts:
Until fairly recently, many fields of study (notably economics) believed that our decisions were largely rational. However, neuromarketing as a field has suggested that the old brain, the old primitive “fight or flight” part, makes most of our decisions.
So how do we influence the old brain for greater growth?
When you’re doing conversion optimization, one of the hardest parts is finding opportunity areas to optimize. Finding places people are dropping out is important in setting up a prioritized testing plan.

You know that a good user experience leads to more conversions. You also know there’s always room for improvement, and you’re never done optimizing. There are always areas of opportunity.

You’d think conversion optimization and SEO should play together nicely, right?
In theory, conversion optimization aims to improve the user experience, which, conveniently, is what Google wants to do as well with their top search results. Therefore, the more you test and improve your site, the higher it should appear in the rankings. You get more traffic, more conversions, more money – in an endless hockey stick shaped cycle.
Of course, it’s not so simple.
