What problems are you solving for your customers and audience?
Businesses know that customers are dropping out during the process of completing their online forms. What they don’t know is exactly where they abandoned and why they left. This lack of knowledge costs companies millions of dollars every year (the average completion rate of all forms is only 45%). Most commonly, businesses might try to fill this knowledge gap by using a general product such as Google Analytics (GA), which is not designed to track detailed form behavior, so it can only provide very basic metrics. Moreover, you will need to invest in expensive engineering resources to hack together such a basic solution and, should you make any changes to the form, you’ll have to start the tagging process all over again. Zuko is the only specialist form analytics platform on the market that can be set up without developers and able to adapt every time you alter your forms.What makes Zuko form reporting more in-depth and flexible than any other analytics product is the ability to answer questions like:“I have only seen one half decent Google Analytics form integration after looking at thousands of sites and analytics setups. There’s a reason why. It’s a giant pain in the backside to build and maintain. Just install Zuko instead and save yourself the hassle.”Craig Sullivan, Optimizer-in-Chief, Optimal Visit
- Which doubts and concerns cause my visitors to abandon?
- How do visitors flow through the form?
- What error messages are being shown, and how often?
- How does visitor behavior vary by device?
- Is the form broken? When did it happen?
P.S. Zuko just launched a form builder product based on decades of form optimization experience, taking the learnings from their behavioral data to design form patterns that deliver a smooth user journey and maximize completion rates.
Which types of companies benefit the most from what you offer?
The companies that tend to benefit the most from Zuko tend to have one or more of these three issues:- Forms that ask a number of complicated or sensitive questions
- A high cost of customer acquisition
- A high customer lifetime value
“As a specialist Conversion Rate Optimization agency, we need the best possible tools at our disposal to help our clients understand online customer behavior. In terms of form analytics, nothing comes close to the flexibility and power of Zuko. We’ve found it an invaluable tool for getting insight, and will continue to use Zuko for all our clients where their forms are a vital part of the online buying journey”Garret Cunningham, COO, Endless Gain
What makes them eventually choose you over your competitors?
Our customers tend to be reliant on their forms for their customer acquisition so they want the best tool in the market to improve them. They come to us when they realize that no other product (typically GA) will give them the depth of insight they need to drive their conversion rates higher. Typically, when asked what they like about Zuko they’ll talk about the greater depth of reporting that allows them to dig down and pinpoint issues on a granular level (is there a UX issue on a particular device type, for example) as well as the ease of set-up that doesn’t require additional tagging or development work.“Zuko has enabled us to improve visitor-to-conversion rates for a series of clients. An example of this is a website increasing their click to enquiry rate by 25% through form changes highlighted to us through Zuko as ‘sticking points’.”Steve Tarbard, Owner, Beyondclicks.co.uk
Since you started, what helped you grow and retain your audience?
We operate in a focused niche so outbound sales and ‘spray and pray’ marketing is not very efficient for us. Whilst we still dabble in targeted versions of the above methods, our greatest success has come via three inbound marketing channels:- Content creation – We aim to be the authority on form optimization + analytics so if someone is aware that they have a sub-optimal form and wants to do something about it, they will eventually find us. This has manifested itself in projects like our definitive eBook guide to form optimization and analytics, consistent blog posts on relevant topics and joint webinars with industry experts / complementary SaaS products.
- Social – The content we create is amplified through our social accounts, particularly my Linked In channel. This enables us to position ourselves as the expert in form design and push awareness of the proposition without being too ‘salesy’
- SEO – We look to dominate our space and our content strategy has delivered top search rankings for our key terms like ‘Form Analytics’ and ‘Form Optimization’
“Zuko is a powerful tool as it offers great insight on how best to optimize our registration platform. By using it, we have been able to align our KPIs and minimize errors in order to provide a flawless user experience. The platform is also very easy to use.”Roberta Grech, Product Tracking Specialist, Tipico
What tools are you using to run your business and daily activities?
The key tools we use are:- AWS – to host and deliver our web applications.
- Hubspot – great for managing leads and email campaigns. We’d love to go deeper with its capabilities but it starts to get expensive quickly!
- Zapier – allows us to automate much of our day-to-day business processes. We use it to alert account managers when prospects take a particular action and to help populate Hubspot.
- Slack – critical for us to maintain communication in our hybrid workplace.
- Chart Mogul – understanding our KPIs is crucial for us to make informed decisions. CM provides up to the minute information on customer numbers and recurring revenue. It also lets us dig deeper to uncover underlying patterns.
- Chat GPT – we’re just scratching the surface of this for sales content creation (creating messages that appeal to a particular individual).
