Key Learnings
- Visitors do want to know how the product works, and the new version of the page does a better job at this, indicated by a decrease in bounce rate and increased CTR.
- There's potential for extending the education path even further.
- The site may need additional "real" testimonials and UGC to convince skeptical customers that it not only works, but is worth the price.
- Recommendation: roll changes out to production and launch a second iteration to add even more educational content, UGC and real customer reviews.
