Variations and goals

Now you continue with the next step, creating your experiment variations and setting goals. For each experiment, you may set as many goals or make as many page variations as you need. The order of setting goals or making page modifications doesn’t matter.

1. Thus, mouse click on the element on your site which you want to change or set the goal on.

2. Choose the type of action from the drop-down list.

In our example, we’ve added the modifications to the header of the visit page.

Original vs. Variation 1

Also, we may add some additional goals and their variations. For example, let’s modify the Try it here button to Request demo and set it as the second goal of our Variation 1.

Additional Modifications

In the left top corner, you may see how many goals and variations you’ve already set and add more variations if needed.

Adding More Variations

In variation settings, you may rename, delete, or clone the chosen variation.

Modifications of Variation 2

Also, we’ve set 2 more goals for this variation. (Each variation should have at least one set goal.)

Setting Goals in Variation 2

After all necessary changes have been added, you may check the number of variations and goals on the corresponding top panel to the left.
