Optimizing Tactics vs. Optimizing Strategy: How choosing the right approach can mean all the difference in your optimization efforts

Website optimization has two approaches — tactical and strategic.

Improving your headline, providing good testimonials and changing form fields are examples of using a tactical approach to add value to your webpages. It is necessary but generally provides only incremental increases in conversion.

A strategic approach, on the other hand, addresses root issues on your pages and can lead to a great increase in customer conversions.

Later, he addresses its strategy, which focuses on trying to sell the company (and form). McGlaughlin suggests a completely new strategy that will cause this company to stand out as unique among many businesses that offer payroll services. It will answer the question that visitors ask when they visit this webpage: “Why should I choose you over all the other companies that offer payroll services?”
