How to optimize your online customer journey by looking outward

Most companies have analyzed their own website data down to the finest detail. They know exactly where visitors enter, where they drop off, and which pages convert best. But one crucial piece of the puzzle is missing: what's happening at the competition?

The story of the British cycling team perfectly demonstrates the power of tiny gains. Through hundreds of small 1% improvements - from more comfortable saddles to optimized mattresses - Sir Dave Brailsford transformed a losing team into Olympic champions. The same principle works for websites: each element might have little impact on its own, but together they can achieve exponential growth.
