Hypothesis

What the Data Told Us

During our CRO audit, we identified that homepage CTAs such as โ€œDiscover Moreโ€ were passive and lacked specificity. For new visitors in particular, these generic CTAs may not clearly communicate what happens next. Given that new visitors account for approximately 64% of Vegepodโ€™s traffic, improving homepage clarity had the potential to significantly impact product discovery and funnel progression.

A/B Test

What We Did

To address this, we tested replacing passive CTAs with clearer, action-oriented language such as โ€œShop Large Raised Garden Beds.โ€ The hypothesis was that setting clearer expectations would increase homepage engagement, drive more users to product pages, and ultimately improve downstream conversion performance. The 11-day test ran across 2,398 visitors and measured performance across engagement, Add to Cart Rate, Conversion Rate, and Revenue per Visitor.

The Results

The action-based CTAs successfully improved homepage engagement and product discovery, particularly among new visitors.

Overall, homepage CTA clicks increased by +3.66% and View Product Page Rate rose by +6.94%, confirming that clearer โ€œShop XYZโ€ language encouraged more users to explore the catalogue.

Among new visitors, who make up approximately 64% of traffic, engagement improvements were even stronger, with homepage CTA clicks and product page views both increasing by +11%, and Revenue per Visitor rising by +26%.
