Frequently Asked Questions
# | Question | Concise answer |
1 | How can encouraging users to scroll improve conversion rates? | Giving visitors engaging content “below the fold” — and signalling that more value awaits as they scroll — keeps them on the page longer, exposes additional calls-to-action, and often lifts conversions compared with forcing everything above the fold. |
2 | What’s the quickest way to simplify a form and gain more leads? | Remove any field that isn’t essential to your first follow-up. Bacula Systems boosted trial sign-ups by 43 % simply by deleting optional questions, proving that fewer fields = less friction = more conversions. |
3 | How does website personalisation increase engagement? | By using real-time data (behaviour, location, past purchases) to serve tailored content, offers or playlists, you make every visit feel relevant. Personalised experiences, like Spotify’s “Discover Weekly”, typically lead to higher click-through rates and repeat visits. |
4 | Why do countdown timers lift sales on checkout pages? | A visible timer taps into FOMO (fear of missing out). GSF Car Parts added a next-day-delivery countdown and saw a 7.51 % jump in transactions because shoppers felt an immediate reason to finish the purchase. |
