UX and/or Conversion Help for Ecommerce
-
Good Morning,
We recently revamped and relaunched our ecommerce website and we believe we have built a great site that is easy to navigate, find what you're looking for, get all details, and purchase.
We were hoping to get some of the Moz community to take a look at the site and let us know if you have any suggestions on usability or conversion techniques that we could implement to improve user experience and amount of orders placed.
You can view our site here
Looking forward to your feedback.
Thanks in advance

Input from the Moz community is great, but input from your own users is even better! I agree that tools like Hotjar or Inspectlet are a good way to measure the user experience. Just watch some recordings of users to get an idea of what they do on the site. This way you get some good understanding about their behavior and where they get stuck/leave.
Alternatively you could do some usability testing with users. Research from Jakob Nielsen shows that in most cases you only need to test with 5 users to find around 75% of the usability problems. With the Retrospective Think Aloud (RTA) method you can set up tasks for users to test and record on your website. Afterwards you can ask the users some questions about their actions, while watching the recording with them. The RTA method is especially useful with eye-tracking, but you can also just use it when recording a screen.
This requires more effort and time than watching recording in Hotjar or Inspectlet, but it will definitely give you some very helpful insights. Here's an helpful article from Tobii about RTA: http://acuity-ets.com/downloads/RTA%20usability%20guidelines%20short%20paper.pdf
One thing I can suggest is to place your most popular/sold product on the first row. So they are always above the page fold and easier for your users to find without scrolling.

Another vote for HotJar. Great for a free tool.
It's always going to be awkward to get critique in any forums but here is some required reading that could help give you some pointers. If nothing else, you will be able to draw comparisons between what you have done and what has worked for others.

I don't have any specific recommendations based on the current design of the site however I do have a tool I want to recommend that could help. I recently came across a neat free tool called hot jar which has built in heatmaps,scroll maps, click maps etc. It even records user sessions so you can see how your shoppers are engaging with your site. I recommend you check it out and see what nuggets you can uncover with it.

Facebook conversions - issue in calculation
Hi, I have a few campaigns for conversions on Facebook, but any of them don't show to me real numbers. There are 4 times more conversions on Facebook than in GA. I did a little research. The problem is that - Facebook pixel calculates all possible conversions from all sources, and because my campaign results are wrong e.g.: Facebook campaign results: Conversions: 10 | Cost per conversion: 1 GA for that campaign (real numbers): Conversions 1 | Cost per conversion: 1 GA from all campaigns and sources: 10 It's that correct? Pls help. Br. Marco

Ideas on multi layered conversion opportunities
I was speaking with an SEO and he brought up multilayered conversion opportunities - means of capturing a users info dependent on the point in the purchase process they are. The two examples he used were a user who just wants to download a brochure to "window shop" and a user who is ready to buy and wants to get a price. Just curious if anyone had any additional ideas for means of conversion other than the 2 above and any additional thoughts or ideas on the matter.

Help with ecommerce duplicate pages and SEO advice(magento base site)
Hi, We have a magento build site (www.mokee.eu) and are selling our own branded goods. So far it is a very limited range of products. It's 1 baby crib in 5 variations. We recently started getting more sales from the site, so I started to look a bit more into optimising our site. I rewrote item name, created better descriptions, added meta titles and description etc. and subscribed to the MOZ analytics platform to understand a bit better ways to improve things up. From what I saw we have a big issue of duplicated content because our product pages are the same and only the product colour changes, which is something google apparently doesn't like However it is important for us that each colour get referenced by google so people who search for grey cot can find a picture of our grey cot etc... Also I was thinking to create only on multi variation page with all colour but when you have only 1 product to sell it might look a bit empty on the site. 1- Do you guys have some advise on how to go round this issue? 2- Do you have any other advise for my site in particular to optimise things and actually do you think i should be worried at all with such a small catalogue? Thanks Sam

Call-to-action is literally a call/dialing a number...
The call-to-action for this site is not some sort of webform, nor adding an item to a cart; it is a call, that is the action this business wants to elicit. Would there possibly be any advantage to making the number clickable and having a landing page for that, any suggestions on how to make this call-to-action more pronounced/clear? Thanks! =]
