Number of fields

The conclusion is obvious: the fewer input fields, the higher the conversion. However, a high conversion rate does not guarantee success. Reducing the number of fields to fill out can lead to an influx of non-target audiences. So how do you find the golden mean? You've probably already guessed: you need to conduct a test.

Marketing Experiments conducted an interesting study, the belize phone number data object of which was a form on a hosting company's website. During the split test, the number of input fields was reduced from 20 (!) to 4.

Of course, such dramatic changes allowed to attract significantly more leads (the difference was 188.46%).

The problem is that along with the growth of the number of leads, their quality may decrease. A lead form of impressive size serves as a kind of filter through which only those users who are really interested in your offer pass.

By using a short form, you increase your conversion rate, but you also risk getting an influx of people signing up “just for fun.”
