What Is Customer Experience Optimization?

Not only do you need to deploy search engine optimization (SEO) for your site you need to have a UXO (user experience optimization) plan in mind.
It’s simple: SEO benefits you and your site. UXO benefits and enhances the visitor experience, and isn’t that what you want to happen? If a visitor has an amazing experience, he or she will come back and could convert into a sale.
How can you achieve UXO?
- Optimize the experience your visitor has frequently. The variety will keep them coming back.
- Share knowledge that benefits them
- Devote your attention on the customer
To understand what needs to be done to enhance the user experience on your site you need to understand what “customer experience” means. When we talk with our clients about UXO we talk about:
- How the customer reacts to your site
- What their overall perception of your site is
It’s not as simple as it sounds. How do you, after all, measure perception and reaction?
The experience encompasses:
- The way a customer makes a purchase on your site
- The interaction they have with your staff
- How well your brands’ products met their expectations
- The perception they have of you and your business and website once they complete their transaction
The customer experience is the total of the interaction and experience your customer had and the opinion he or she forms of your brand.
