Homepage Mid-Market Messaging CRO Test

Personalised homepage messaging for mid-market+ visitors, delivering total traffic increased +74%, MQLs +46%, and influenced pipeline +36%

Year:

2025

Industry:

B2B SaaS

Company:

Cognism

Project Overview:

In May 2025, I led a high-impact CRO experiment on the Cognism homepage, tailoring hero messaging specifically for mid-market (MM+) visitors.

The test replaced our generic hero section with a personalised headline, value-led bullet points, and an interactive demo, designed to better resonate with high-growth B2B companies.

The Challenge:

Our homepage messaging was broad, speaking to all audiences rather than directly addressing the needs of mid-market prospects (201–1000 employees). This segment is a key ICP for pipeline growth, and the opportunity was to test if personalised messaging could lift conversions and engagement.

The Approach:

  • Test Setup: Used Mutiny to run an A/B personalisation test targeting mid-market visitors.

  • Control: Generic homepage hero with no audience-specific messaging.

  • Variation: Personalised headline targeting ambitious/high-growth companies, with improved value propositions and interactive demo.

  • Collaborated with Demand Gen and Website teams to align messaging with MM pain points and goals.

  • Monitored results across 6 weeks using both quantitative metrics (Mutiny) and qualitative feedback (Wynter).

Execution Highlights:

  • Designed and launched mid-market targeted homepage hero.

  • Introduced sticky, interactive product demo for self-guided exploration.

  • Tracked engagement metrics and collected user feedback to validate hypotheses.

  • URL: www.cognism.com (now live for MM visitors)

Results & Impact:

📈 Key Metrics:

  • Conversion rate: +14% sustained uplift (peak +777% vs control).

  • Engagement time: +12% to +58% longer sessions.

  • Total traffic increased +74%, showing strong long-term demand uplift.

  • MQLs and influenced pipeline opps saw major long-term growth (+46% and +36%, respectively).

  • Overall, performance shows higher traffic volume, stronger lead generation, and stable revenue influence across the post-launch cycle.

💬 Qualitative Feedback Highlights:

  • Interactive demo increased interest and likelihood to engage.

  • Three value props (Signals, Data, Compliance) resonated.

  • Areas for improvement included clearer differentiation from competitors, alternative CTAs, and more concise compliance content.
