Keyhole is a social listening and influencer marketing platform that wanted to increase its trial to paid conversions to improve business metrics.
They’ve used UserGuiding, and specifically, UserGuiding’s onboarding checklists feature to increase the number of conversions by 550%.
Here’s the story behind their success and highlights from our interview with Keyhole’s product manager, Myra Yip:
What makes users more likely to buy?
The answer to this question can vary a lot depending on your product and your users.
For Keyhole, this meant having multiple answers to this question since their product acted as different solutions for different user segments. In cases like this, it’s better to start from the largest segment which usually brings the most value to the business, and move from there.
Once you’ve got your target segment of users and their use case figured out, it becomes just a little easier to define variables that influence their conversion.
You can focus on analyzing the behavior and journey of this segment, understand how each action affects their overall experience, and if it contributes to conversion or not.
Although you might have some general ideas, in theory, you can encounter some surprising insights when you dig deep.
Myra, when analyzing the behavior of this specific segment, found one of these insights:
Before UserGuiding, we saw that users who’ve seen a sample dashboard that we’ve created ourselves with our tool were more likely to upgrade to a paid plan. This gave us confidence that building something similar into our onboarding experience would be worth the investment.”
