Overview
As a leading domain name registrar, most of the customers who hit the GoDaddy homepage know us for our domain registration. The homepage reinforces this with multiple domain merch callouts. We have an opportunity to draw more focus on non-domain products to bring more awareness and draw more GCR/visits for those products.
In a recent study in multiple markets, when asked about first impressions of GoDaddy’s homepage, most participants said 1. there was too much information and 2. they were confused by the repeated domain offers in the domain bug, marquee, and product grids.
By targeting existing customers who don’t own a website product with specific messaging and offers related to building a website with one of our products, we are hoping to see a 3% increase in the attached website products. Also keep in mind that the US Homepage layout failed in the international markets, so reverting to this layout was the smarter way to go.
