How to A/B Split Test Landing Pages with Elementor

[@DaveFoy]

Already since this video, the developers have added the ability to test individual widgets, plus to be able to pick your conversion tracking page from a dropdown. Probably even more by the time you see this comment.

[@TJHoban]

Hi Dave, I noticed there is no longer a signup link for Landing Page classes on your site. Where may I find this info. Thanks for your help. TJ

[@jimmears]

They aren't keeping it up to day and it does cause big problems by scrambilng urls.

[@jeroenisrang8091]

Great video many thank's! Here's my proven order to test the the different items on Opt-In Pages. Start with: 1. Headline 2. The Cover/ Picture of your E-Book 3. Copy 4. Call to action

[@thomas8512]

First time I listened to you. I clicked subscribe. You're an excellent teacher. Easy to understand thorough and informative. Thank you for teaching me this.

[@DaveFoy]

No worries Thomas. Thank you.

[@nifstrenton]

So glad you made this video Dave. Thought I remembered a split tester for WordPress site pages and went searching and happened to include Elementor in my search and whoop here is Rocket Elements plug-in. Super happy to find and happier you reviewed it. Thanks!

[@DaveFoy]

Boom! Glad you found it Nicholas. :) And thanks for the comment, good to see you here.

[@rodneycoleman3268]

Just came from EC site, and my "what are this lot talking about" thought just got answered.. Thanks Dave..

[@DaveFoy]

Yep, it can all sound VERY confusing! That's why I decided to take the time to explain it a bit too. Glad it helped Rodney.

[@Damian08x]

I'm so glad you came back to making tutorials! As always: GREAT VIDEO

[@DaveFoy]

Heh heh. Cheers Damian. I've been making and running paid courses so while I've made literally 100s of lessons over the last few months, none of them have been public. Soon to be lots more tho. :)

[@_mzkr_]

That was a really great video. I learned a heap. Thanks for taking the time to share your insight and even how to utilise it in Elementor. Three years later, the plugin has moved a bit and it is great knowing that it is still around. Oh and yes. Divi is complete bloatware.

[@marcusnyberg1214]

Great video and description on how to use the split test plugin! Impressed!

[@thefather757]

Thanks man. We recently switched to Elementor (actually forced to switch due to Jupiter X) and this is what I was exactly looking for!

[@justinwaite1913]

This looks very promising comparing to Unbounce. I love working in Elementor and whenever I have to work in Unbouce I want to pull my hair out. Elementor is really nice to work in compared to other WYSIWG builders. Looking forward to trying it out. Thank you for the great video.

[@DaveFoy]

No worries Justin. Good luck!

[@upsax7576]

Thanks a couple of iterations before I figured it out. But your explanation is the best for this.

[@Seremi21]

Thank you ! it works perfect today in 2023

[@janosczvek1473]

great, short and clear tutorial.

[@michaelpalombo470]

A MUST see tutorial fro spit test!

[@DaveFoy]

Thanks Michael!

[@YungGreenS]

Great, clear explanation! KZbin has introduced an A/B feature for video thumbnails by the way so make sure to check it out.

[@jakeatwood6467]

Awesome video--very clear and easy to follow. Thanks!

[@DaveFoy]

Thanks Jake. Appreciated! I've just started a new 4 part series on landing pages here if you're interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIvWYYKqoJ6GsMU

[@loganbrown7975]

You had me at "Divi is a mess"

[@nasiramli]

Thanks Man for the great videos!

[@michelemize]

Looks very promising and much simpler than many other methods. Is it possible for a conversion to equal clicking on a link that goes to a separate site? For example, the user clicks "Make Appointment" and a scheduling app opens (that's not part of the original Elementor site.) I guess I'm wondering if that link can be marked as the conversion (rather than a separate page?)

[@DaveFoy]

Hey Michele. Yes that'd be a nice feature. I've mentioned to the developers already that it'd be good to be able to place a bit of javascript on an external page, and have that as the conversion target. They have it on their radar, but apparently there are some limitations in the Elementor API they need to work around first.

[@KlaasVictor]

This is amazing, thank you very much!!

[@copygateway]

Great, super helpful, thank you so much!

[@LeaferLoves]

Thanks for explaining split testing concisely. My site just needs to get some traffic and then I'll give it a go! lol.

[@DaveFoy]

Good luck!

[@gsmgekkoos]

Nice video of this new and useful plugin.

[@DaveFoy]

Thank you Sandra. :)

[@thankyou3984]

Excellent video. Would you mind sharing the theme of that page?

[@410strategy]

Great tutorial thank you!

[@tobiaswunner217]

Great video - thanks!

[@LaneWatson]

Great video. Excited to see this as an addon. BTW, what popup do you use for your forms. I used popup maker, and i couldn't get it to look right on mobile device (both android and iphone). It was always to small, etc. Do you have a workaround, or could you do a video on how to make a nice landing page with popups that look great on mobile?

[@DaveFoy]

Yeah I use Popup Maker. I've not had any problem on mobile. I have mine set to 60% width, max width 700px. It then just switches to 100% width on smaller screens, automatically. I'll definitely be making a video on this soon.

[@LaneWatson]

Thanks! and I look forward to when your sales funnel course opens up. Keep the Elementor [and pro] coming. your channel is the best on Elementor and Generate Press :)

[@DaveFoy]

Thank you sir! I appreciate that.

[@jasonwheeler1735]

Great video thank you for taking the time to make this awesome content.

[@DaveFoy]

No worries Jason. Thanks!

[@WPCourseGuide]

Awesome info! Many thanks, this is very valuable.

[@DaveFoy]

Thanks Will.

[@komodo690]

"english spelling"..ha ha - very nice video, was worth the watch. Will be trying that out. Thanks a million Dave!

[@DaveFoy]

Heh heh. Thanks Greg. :)

[@annerajoo3319]

I was trying to add the add the Splittest Conversion Widget but I don't have this widget. What can I do?

[@TJHoban]

Excellent job!

[@DaveFoy]

Thank you sir!

[@PlantShopAfrica]

Thanks for the great tutorial.

[@andrea_ciliberti]

Hi Dave, nice and helpful video. I have 2 questions: 1) when you set a conversion type you can choose between "widget" and "page" do you know yhe difference for "Split test for Elementor?" 2) is it possible to test 2 whole different pages? how?

[@sootedninjas]

can this plugin handle multiple home pages INSTEAD of just an element within a home page

[@DaveFoy]

Yes you can now test pages as well as elements on individual pages.

[@carmenklammer3268]

Can you split test two different hero sections?

[@soisbyedferrigan]

Well done. Thank you Dave.

[@INSANITYWANTED]

How to split test 2 entirely different landing page? Like landingpage 1 vs landingpage 2

[@RyzeMaster]

Really useful video!

[@dynamico1981]

With leadpages and clickfunnels being the dominant Lander Software, are you open to doing a series of tutorials on how to replicate common designs in clickfunnels and leadpages?

[@DaveFoy]

Could do Chris, yes. Not 100% sure on the legalities. I suppose I can teach how to make them?

[@dynamico1981]

Design Build Web Yes...I mean elementor is a great tool. Your tutorials are great, but most ppl didn’t want to pay for leadpages and clickfunnels. So...what if marketers had a course dedicated to making similar looking pages via elementor.

[@DaveFoy]

Yep, that's part of the course I have here: www.nofearfunnels.co/. I could make some free vids on KZbin too. I've noted the idea. Thanks..

[@deanduck8171]

Great idea, imo .... Landing Pages and Clickfunnels do seem to be pretty popular with customers these days.

[@deanduck8171]

Going thru your inventory of youtube video's, it appears you've only got 1 video dedicated to building landing pages - dated April 13, 2017 kzbin.info/www/bejne/morNiYWghdp-rtE A series on building various Landing/Funnel Pages would probably bring you alot of new viewers, imo.

[@dominiquerouault1899]

Thx once more Dave.

[@DaveFoy]

Pleasure!

[@sudiku21]

is it possible to make a/b test with two pages instead of sections?

[@laerciocivali]

Hello Dave, how the plugin knows the difference between two colors button? Do I have to name it before, and where? Tks.

[@DaveFoy]

Hey! The plugin itself doesn't care what you're testing really. It only cares what names you give each variation, and then which section you assign those to. So where I set the test name (Button Colour) and the variation names (Red Button and Green Button). That's where you name them.

[@jimmears]

Hey guys. The Split Test For Elementor By Rocket Elements is not kept up to date and it screwed up my site by scrambling all urls. The effect was any attempt to go to any url on my site got a blank page because the url was scrambled. Spent hours befor I found this culprit.

[@DaveFoy]

Urgh, really? I know it hadn't been updated in a while but then I noticed it HAD been updated recently, according to the WordPress plugin repo anyway. Sorry you had this problem. Did you contact their support? I'd recommend looking into splithero.com. I'll do a video on it when I get time.

[@LilianaRobinson]

Hi, how did you make the button be a two step (with pop-up)? Thanks in advance!

[@DaveFoy]

That uses the free Popup Maker plugin.

[@DaveFoy]

I'm just releasing a brand new series: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIvWYYKqoJ6GsMU. In Part 3 (released later today) I show you exactly how to do this. :)

[@preslilvs]

Excellent Dave! How to contact you about offer?

[@DaveFoy]

hello at designbuildweb dot co

[@RivieraMan]

Hi Dave, you explain stuff well. So can you consider making a simple, non-daunting, easy-to-follow tutorial on how to edit text and graphics in an Elementor website using the Editor 'Access to edit content only' back-end user login. So website designers can give a link to your tutorial and tell their non-techie clients "If you ever want to change the text or an image on your website, here's a tutorial to show you how to log in and make those changes".

[@Website-Developer]

How well does it work with the Astra theme

[@DaveFoy]

Your theme has no bearing on this plugin at all. It's all in Elementor.

[@resistelites2413]

I've tried this plugin twice. The first time it gave a fatal error on installation. They've fixed that, but now I can't get it to save a Split Test either when entered in the menu, or when entered while adding it to a section. I think it's not quite ready.

[@DaveFoy]

That's a shame. Hopefully sorted soon. As I say, it's early days. Devs seem VERY responsive (good sign!)

[@YasienSarlie]

Thank you! Now I am cleverer :)

[@DaveFoy]

Ha haa! :)

[@YashBhardwaj69]

What do you think about Google Optimize?

[@DaveFoy]

Pretty cumbersome, not very user friendly, and seems to make pages run really slowly. Not great for a tool that's supposed to help with optimizing! It's free though....

[@surjeethere]

why load category list in every page I cant need to load categories in all pages Tell me solution

[@juanaloulehoux]

thanks!

[@dynamico1981]

Definitely waiting on that no fear funnels to re-open like people wait for the latest iPhone release...

[@DaveFoy]

Ha haa, good man. Won't be long now. I'm thinking September to re-open next.

[@nifstrenton]

It’s a great course that’s getting better all of the time. Taking it now; worth the wait.

[@DaveFoy]

No better recommendation. Thanks Nicholas.

[@Sagi56668]

seems like there are no updates from this plugin anymore. is it dead?

[@DaveFoy]

There's a chance it is, yes. Sadly! It was very promising indeed. Check out Split Hero: splithero.com

[@rocketgrowthstrategiesdigi4535]

This does look like a very useful tool. However I I’ll disagree with you in that I would welcome Elementor adding this to their package. It’s always better to have a feature built into the core. Although right now Elementor has higher priorities than A/B testing. But I also agree with you on bloating. That’s one of the things I like that some plugins allow you to turn some of their features on and off in the settings. I hope at some point Elementor will take that approach themselves.

[@DaveFoy]

I hear you. My worry with adding marketing features like this is - where does it end? Heat tracking like Hotjar? Dedicated lead capture like Optinmonster? Personally, I'd like Elementor to remain a design/build tool, and keep marketing tools separate, to do their job properly. The ability to turn features off would be great. But they'd still need to develop and maintain it, along with the rest of the plugin's features. They're already clearly a little stretched (as you rightly say). ;)

[@rocketgrowthstrategiesdigi4535]

Design Build Web yeah, I just am not a fan that these developers build a plugin with a feature you want, but then you get 10 you don’t. So you end up with twenty different sliders that do pretty much if not exactly the same thing bloating the widget panel. So then Elementor has to take time away from core development to build ways to collapse widget panels and sort them. And even that doesn’t address the real issue of bloating the site with all these unused features within all these plugins.

[@thefryingpan951]

elementor>>>>>clickfunnels

[@nasiramli]

Thanks Man for the great videos!
