Steps in SayPro’s A/B Testing Process
1. Define the Hypothesis
Example: “Video ads with testimonials will perform better than static image ads for our student audience.”
2. Design the Test
- Change only one variable per test to isolate its effect
- Create two distinct versions (A and B)
- Ensure each version is served to a similar audience size for statistical accuracy
3. Run the Test
- Use native platform tools like:
- Meta A/B Test Center
- Google Ads Experiments
- LinkedIn A/B Testing
Run tests over 7–14 days or until statistical significance is reached.
4. Monitor and Measure
Track KPIs like:
- Click-through rate (CTR)
- Conversion rate (CVR)
- Cost-per-click (CPC)
- Cost-per-acquisition (CPA)
- Engagement metrics (e.g., video views, form submissions)
5. Analyze Results
- Identify the winning variation
- Document insights
- Determine why it performed better (e.g., emotional tone, clearer CTA, better alignment with audience intent)
6. Implement and Scale
- Roll out the winning version across the campaign
- Retest regularly with new hypotheses to continuously improve
Example Result: A carousel ad featuring course modules performs 27% better than a static ad with a general overview—this format becomes the new default.
