Landing Page: Social Proof
Test Results
Key Learning
Context: Users on the landing page need validation from others before committing — without visible proof of success, they hesitate.
What was tested: A variation was tested against the existing experience.
Result: No statistically significant difference was detected. Inconclusive copy tests usually mean both versions are equally (in)effective at addressing user motivations. Try a fundamentally different angle.
How to Apply This to Your Site
This experiment tested landing page: social proof but produced no statistically significant change. The test was run on a landing page page in the energy & utilities industry. Inconclusive results suggest this particular change may not be a priority — focus testing effort on higher-impact areas.
Before you test: Consider that copy & messaging tests typically require large sample sizes to detect small effects. This test ran for 27 days — plan for at least that long.
This result reached 95% statistical confidence, meaning there is a very low probability the observed effect was due to chance. Results at this confidence level are generally considered reliable for making business decisions.
