Listing: Centered Forms & Buttons
Hypothesis
If we implement 'Centered Forms & Buttons' on listing pages (In this experiment, two different positions of the View Catalog button were compared), then key conversion metrics will improve.
Test Results
Key Learning
Context: The primary call-to-action on the listing isn't converting at its potential — design, copy, or placement may be the bottleneck.
What was tested: REAL-WORLD TEST: 'Centered Forms & Buttons' was tested on a live listing page. The test involved 207,844 real visitors. Full statistical results require paid access. Test methodology: In this experiment, two different positions of the View Catalog button were compared. In version A the button was smaller and on the right. In version...
Result: No statistically significant difference was detected. CTA changes that don't move the needle often mean the bottleneck is elsewhere — consider testing the surrounding context or the value proposition instead.
How to Apply This to Your Site
This experiment tested listing: centered forms & buttons but produced no statistically significant change. The test was run on a category page page in the cross-industry industry. Inconclusive results suggest this particular change may not be a priority — focus testing effort on higher-impact areas.
Before you test: Consider that cta tests typically require large sample sizes to detect small effects. Run your test for at least 2 full business cycles to account for weekly traffic patterns.
What Was Tested
In this experiment, two different positions of the View Catalog button were compared. In version A the button was smaller and on the right. In version B the button was wider and more central.

Problem: Key actions on the checkout disappear as users scroll, creating a gap between intent and the ability to act.
