What is *You Should Test That!* by Chris Goward about?

*You Should Test That!* is a guide to conversion rate optimization (CRO) that emphasizes data-driven testing over guesswork. Chris Goward outlines a 7-step process for improving website performance, including audience analysis, hypothesis creation, and A/B/multivariate testing. The book introduces frameworks like the **LIFT Model**, which balances value proposition clarity with reduced user anxiety to boost conversions. Case studies demonstrate how strategic testing increases leads, sales, and profits.

Who should read *You Should Test That!*?

Marketers, UX designers, and business owners seeking to optimize website performance will benefit most. The book is ideal for those tired of subjective design debates and eager to use testing tools like A/B experiments. Goward’s actionable advice suits both beginners and seasoned professionals looking to systematize their CRO efforts.

Is *You Should Test That!* worth reading?

Yes, for anyone serious about data-driven marketing. The book provides a repeatable framework for testing hypotheses, backed by real-world examples from Goward’s agency, WiderFunnel. However, critics note it doesn’t quantify testing costs or address budget constraints.

What is the LIFT Model in *You Should Test That!*?

The **LIFT Model** identifies six elements affecting conversions: - **Value proposition** relevance - Clarity of messaging - Reduction of distractions/anxiety - Incentive alignment - Urgency creation - Attention direction Goward compares it to aerodynamic lift, where optimizing these “airflow” factors increases desired user actions.

How does *You Should Test That!* recommend structuring A/B tests?

Tests should follow a hypothesis-driven approach: 1. Identify conversion barriers through analytics 2. Formulate a “Changing X will improve Y” statement 3. Design experiments isolating one variable 4. Measure statistical significance before scaling Examples include testing video reviews for product pages or emotion-driven headlines for service pages.

What are the main criticisms of *You Should Test That!*?

While praised for its methodology, the book doesn’t address the time/cost of implementing ongoing tests or how to prioritize tests for resource-constrained teams. Some note it focuses heavily on WiderFunnel’s case studies without broader industry examples.

How does *You Should Test That!* approach hypothesis creation?

Hypotheses must be specific and measurable, like “Increasing font size from 12px to 16px will improve readability and form submissions by 15%.” Goward emphasizes aligning tests with business goals rather than arbitrary design changes.

What real-world examples does *You Should Test That!* include?

Case studies feature: - A shoe brand boosting orders with video reviews - An online florist improving engagement via emotional headlines - A consulting firm redesigning contact forms for higher lead capture These illustrate how incremental changes yield significant results.

Why Your Website Is Silently Bleeding Money

00:00

Something remarkable happens when a visitor lands on your website. In just two-tenths of a second-faster than you can blink-their brain has already decided whether to stay or leave. Most choose to leave. And every time they do, you're watching potential revenue evaporate. Here's what makes this truly frustrating: even the world's most successful companies-Google, Facebook, Amazon-obsessively test and refine their websites because they know a fundamental truth. Your website is almost certainly underperforming, and you probably have no idea why. The culprit isn't laziness or incompetence. It's something far more insidious: the way websites get built in the first place. Companies select designs based on competitor sites without knowing whether those sites actually convert. Design agencies prioritize client happiness and creative awards over revenue. Both parties rarely establish concrete business goals before starting. The result? Websites designed by copying other websites, perpetuating an endless cycle of mediocrity. Then there's the "best practices" trap-following average approaches that keep you average. But the real damage comes from how decisions get made. The HiPPO method defers to the Highest-Paid Person's Opinion. The Black Turtleneck method accepts pronouncements from supposed experts without question. Neither produces results that can be measured, improved, or defended with data.
