Reducing product page bounce rate and facilitating conversions

Appalachian Outfitters were already making the most of Bidnamic’s technology for their Shopping ads and were already achieving great visibility. But their bounce rate still had some room for improvement to prevent impatient shoppers, or those who don’t quite know what they’re after from clicking ads and bouncing straight off.

According to Google’s page speed testing tool, the site scored 100 for best practices. However, the performance of their product pages was scoring on average 35/100, with an 8.1 second time to Largest Contentful Paint, a 3,240ms Total Blocking Time, and a Speed Index time of 7.8 seconds.

Superfast page loading without limiting product discovery

As customer journeys become increasingly frictionless, Bidnamic Discovery Pages offer sub-one second loading time. We achieve this by cutting back on weighty assets and code in the same way a racecar is stripped back for speed and performance.

Using product intelligence, our technology identifies highly similar alternative products and displays them above the fold - shoppers don’t have to scroll to find what they’re looking for, or bounce back if the product doesn’t take their fancy.

What’s more, Discovery Pages are built to preserve your brand’s look and feel, simulating elements like your logo, brand colors, and fonts. Your Shopify search tool is integrated with the Discovery Page to help your shoppers find the products that suit them with as little effort as possible.
