-
those set up because if you don't those set up because if you don't you need to work on them but then next you need to work on them but then next you need to work on them but then next you go to conversions you go to conversions you go to conversions goals and then reverse goal path goals and then reverse goal path goals and then reverse goal path and then what's awesome here is you're and then what's awesome here is you're and then what's awesome here is you're going to be able to see going to be able to see going to be able to see which pages people visit right before which pages people visit right before which pages people visit right before they hit they hit they hit the goal which is convert on a trial the goal which is convert on a trial the goal which is convert on a trial you have them set up then this is a gold you have them set up then this is a gold you have them set up then this is a gold mine for you mine for you mine for you make sure to check that as well but in this particular case hold on i'm but in this particular case hold on i'm looking at a couple of you commenting looking at a couple of you commenting looking at a couple of you commenting here um in this particular case you'll see um in this particular case you'll see that there's actually that there's actually that there's actually a lot of product documentation pages a lot of product documentation pages a lot of product documentation pages that are bringing conversion that are bringing conversion that are bringing conversion and so by the way while you were at it and so by the way while you were at it and so by the way while you were at it while you were in google analytics as a while you were in google analytics as a while you were in google analytics as a marketer and it says killer marketer and it says killer marketer and it says killer if you've been given access to other if you've been given access to other if you've been given access to other people in the past in google analytics people in the past in google analytics people in the past in google analytics make sure make sure to go and delete make sure make sure to go and delete make sure make sure to go and delete those people if you no longer work with those people if you no longer work with those people if you no longer work with them because otherwise they have access them because otherwise they have access them because otherwise they have access to a lot of things that you don't want to a lot of things that you don't want to a lot of things that you don't want them them them to have access to okay and so if you to have access to okay and so if you to have access to okay and so if you look look look at here there's uh a lot of around three at here there's uh a lot of around three at here there's uh a lot of around three percent percent percent of all conversions page num uh line of all conversions page num uh line of all conversions page num uh line number six and then there's another number six and then there's another number six and then there's another uh one percent and then we see a couple uh one percent and then we see a couple uh one percent and then we see a couple more percentage points more percentage points more percentage points so you can see actually here that a lot so you can see actually here that a lot so you can see actually here that a lot of conversions are happening on those pages conversions are happening on those pages then then then the last thing that i'm going to torture the last thing that i'm going to torture the last thing that i'm going to torture you today with you today with you today with is go to reverse goal path
-
is go to reverse goal path is go to reverse goal path and then you're going to be able to see and then you're going to be able to see and then you're going to be able to see that that that all the pages actual pages that are all the pages actual pages that are all the pages actual pages that are bringing you the conversions and need bringing you the conversions and need bringing you the conversions and need your goals set up properly in this case your goals set up properly in this case your goals set up properly in this case this is what i see this is what i see this is what i see line number two line 9.5 and line number line number two line 9.5 and line number line number two line 9.5 and line number eight eight eight together they bring 12 of all together they bring 12 of all together they bring 12 of all trial conversions in addition to pricing trial conversions in addition to pricing trial conversions in addition to pricing pages integration pages home pages pages integration pages home pages pages integration pages home pages did you ever you know did you ever think did you ever you know did you ever think did you ever you know did you ever think that this is possible that your product that this is possible that your product that this is possible that your product documentation pages actually can bring documentation pages actually can bring documentation pages actually can bring in conversions not only that so just in conversions not only that so just in conversions not only that so just overall total percentage for this overall total percentage for this overall total percentage for this pages for this particular sas company is pages for this particular sas company is pages for this particular sas company is 12 of all 12 of all 12 of all conversions to trial is coming from conversions to trial is coming from conversions to trial is coming from those participation pages those participation pages those participation pages and that is they didn't even have a call and that is they didn't even have a call and that is they didn't even have a call to action on those product documentation to action on those product documentation to action on those product documentation pages pages pages isn't it crazy how many of you have or isn't it crazy how many of you have or isn't it crazy how many of you have or do not have do not have do not have call to action on product documentation call to action on product documentation call to action on product documentation pages if you don't pages if you don't pages if you don't then you can easily increase your then you can easily increase your then you can easily increase your website conversion if you're getting website conversion if you're getting website conversion if you're getting traffic to those product documentation traffic to those product documentation traffic to those product documentation pages pages pages you can increase your website conversion you can increase your website conversion you can increase your website conversion tr overall from visitor tr overall from visitor tr overall from visitor to trial which is crazy without doing to trial which is crazy without doing to trial which is crazy without doing anything just adding those buttons anything just adding those buttons anything just adding those buttons without needing to spend any money on without needing to spend any money on without needing to spend any money on pay-per-click or adding more traffic or pay-per-click or adding more traffic or pay-per-click or adding more traffic or content content content or guest blog posts or anything you can or guest blog posts or anything you can or guest blog posts or anything you can increase increase increase number of trials isn't crazy so let's talk about the so let's talk about the creation process so creation process so creation process so the creation process for product the creation process for product the creation process for product documentation pages and those are the
