Suggestions to Improve Worst Conversion Form Ever Designed?
-
My commercial real estate web site has about the worst conversion form ever designed (http://www.nyc-officespace-leader.com/visitor-details). The form appears whenever a visitor does a property search. If they do not release their phone number and email address they don't get results. The form only gets completed 25% of the time and often the contact details are wrong. The visitors either exit the site at that page or go to the listing or neighborhood pages to view listings without doing a filtered search.
In an attempt to increase conversions we are softening the form and not making completion mandatory. After entering an inquiry the visitor will be shown three property listings before the form pops up, The idea being that once they have seen product they will be more inclined to release contact info. Also, the form will appear once they have viewed three listings anywhere on the site, not just for search results. Unlike the existing conversion form (http://www.nyc-officespace-leader.com/visitor-details) we are trying to keep the text very concise. The new form will be Java script rather than a URL.
Can anyone offer some ideas on how to make the text of these new forms more enticing? The forms are listed below. We will probably show the first one after the visitor views 3 listings and the variation of it after the visitor views another 3 listings.
** FORM #1**
Quit wasting time searching for listings. (watch icon)
Call me to discuss available space. Yes No
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FORM #2

I think those look good and you should give them a shot. You can always do some fine-tuning to them over then next month or two.
Happy to help and good luck! I look forward to see how this helps your conversion rate.

Hi Frank:
Thanks so much for your help!!! There is nothing tougher than writing copy that converts.
Based on your suggestions I have adjusted both forms, trying to keep them as brief as possible. Do you think this is an improvement?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FORM #1
Don’t waste your time searching listings. (watch icon)
Receive a hand curated list of properties prepared by one of our experts.
Yes No
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FORM #2
Did you know we can provide you with access to off-market listings?
Learn about these exceptional, hidden gems before they are gone!
Tell me now about off market listings. Yes No

Form #1: I would adapt the copy so that it sounds like you are providing more value to the user.
Ex: We can help save you time! Call me direct to start your search and discuss available listings.
Form #2: Similar to the first and you are half-way there. Sell the part about your access to off-market listing first. Users always want to think they are getting a really good deal, or getting access to premium content that their friends or competition aren't. You also want to try and add some immediacy to the form, make the user feel like they must act now or they may miss out on a great deal.
Ex: Did you know we access to off-market listings that only we know about? Contact us to learn more about these listings before they are gone!
You may need to play with the copy some to better fit your clientele, but you should be able to get a good idea from the examples given.
Good luck!

Ideas on multi layered conversion opportunities
I was speaking with an SEO and he brought up multilayered conversion opportunities - means of capturing a users info dependent on the point in the purchase process they are. The two examples he used were a user who just wants to download a brochure to "window shop" and a user who is ready to buy and wants to get a price. Just curious if anyone had any additional ideas for means of conversion other than the 2 above and any additional thoughts or ideas on the matter.

Has anyone ever used Adwords' Forwarding Numbers as a Call Tracking Service?
Hi, I was taking over a client's Adwords account from a previous agency. It appears the former agency added the Google Forwarding Number (for call tracking on call extensions) and added it to the client's website. Therefore, if anyone calls that number from the website, it would register within Adwords (just not as a conversion but as a click under "call extensions") The problem: you can't filter by phone number (the same number calling +1 would indicate spam) you can filter by device (so tablet / computer) can be considered spam generally. Questions: Anyone ever used this before? Your thoughts? Does anyone know if there is spam coming from mobile devices now-a-days? Please tell me what I'm missing. Any advice / anyone else seen this / done this? Thanks Moz Community, Cole

Sudden drop in conversions!
Over the past week, I have noticed a drop in conversions. By drop, I mean NONE at all. The traffic to the site seems steady from different sources, so I don't think we've been hit with a penalty. I have looked through the site, and there are no problems with the functionality. Is it possible that you lose conversions because of the type of keywords that are driving traffic? In other words, the impressions and queries remain steady, but you are not getting traffic that converts (if that makes any sense). Thanks in advance for thoughts and advice.

How can I pass the Search Term into a lead form?
We receive lead forms from interested visitors that include their name, email, grade level, and academic goals, and we would like to also know which specific phrase they used when searching for us. I need to find a way to grab the referring keywords and pass them as a hidden form field. Can this be done, and are there scripts available that can do this?
