Digital wallets address the biggest mobile conversion hurdle

When we designed our new website, I told the designer, ‘Don’t send me desktop designs. Make mobile perfect, then make a responsive version for desktop.’

We’ve achieved 5% conversion rates on mobile with over 80% of our sales on mobile devices.

Organic Search (SEO)

● Category Pages: Google your product head terms (eg. ceiling fans, bike helmets, dog toys). 80-90% of the results will be category pages. Have you optimized yours?

● Pagespeed = Bounce Rate = $:○ 1s to 3s the probability of a bounce increases 32%○ 1s to 5s the probability of a bounce increases 90%○ 1s to 10s the probability of a bounce increases 123%○ Per Google, average time it takes to fully load a mobile page is 22s. That

didn’t even make our list.

● Google Search Console:Often neglected over Google Analytics, but the last place with full transparency on queries per URL. Sort by “Impressions” and see where you aren’t getting traffic.

Affiliate Marketing

We spent a year getting our products into 18 select Whole Foods stores in the Midwest. We thought that would be our tipping point, but we’d only sell 10-15 items per week in each store. That was less than 1,000 units per month.

Then, we got one of the largest communities in the paleo space to promote our product on our ecommerce store. In 2 emails, they sold 2,500 units, plus we didn’t have to pay for inventory in advance and we got all those emails and we negotiated the affiliate split, so we would 100% come out net positive.
