Berg Partners
Berg Partners were not short of ambition or capability. They were short of evidence. Every change they had made to their site was a guess. We changed that.
Berg Partners is a management consulting firm working across industrial and technology sectors. Their offer was strong. Their team was experienced. Their client list was credible.
But the website was not performing at the level the business deserved. Enquiries were inconsistent. The team had made changes — updated copy here, a new layout there — but had no way of knowing whether any of it had helped. There was no testing programme. No baseline. No way to connect a change on the site to a change in behaviour.
When they came to us the brief was simple. Stop guessing. Start knowing.
Before we wrote a single hypothesis, we spent three weeks in diagnosis mode. You cannot test your way to the right answer if you do not know what the right question is.
The diagnosis revealed a site that looked professional. What it did not provide was a fast, clear reason to choose Berg Partners over anyone else.
The hero headline was memorable but abstract. "Where strategy becomes momentum" worked for someone who already knew the firm. For a first-time visitor it said very little. They needed to understand what Berg Partners actually delivers before they could decide if it was relevant to their situation.
Social proof was doing very little work. The firm had impressive numbers — significant client outcomes, high renewal rates, international reach. None of it was visible above the fold. It sat below where most visitors stopped reading.
The contact form was a particular problem. Six fields on a single page — name, company, role, country, enquiry type and a message field. For a visitor who had arrived thirty seconds ago and was not yet sure if Berg Partners was right for them, that was a significant ask.
Exit survey data told a consistent story. Visitors found the site credible but not specific enough about what Berg Partners does for a client in their particular situation. The expertise was implied. It was never proven.
The site was not failing because it looked wrong. It was failing because it was not giving visitors a fast enough reason to stay.
Every hypothesis was specific. Every test ran through Convertly to statistical significance. Every result was documented — win or lose — so the knowledge compounded across the whole programme.
"Where strategy becomes momentum" tested against a direct outcome-led headline describing what Berg Partners delivers and for whom. First-time visitors need specifics, not slogans.
Enquiry form starts up 18%"Begin the conversation" tested against "Book a 45-minute diagnostic call". The specific version told visitors exactly what they were committing to. Specificity reduces hesitation.
Click-through to contact page up 24%Key stats moved from below the fold to directly beneath the hero CTA. If a visitor has to scroll to find your proof, most of them will not get there.
Conversion uplift 14%"No engagement required. Confidentiality guaranteed." added directly beneath the button. One line that removed two of the most common objections at the exact moment of decision.
Form completions up 11%Six services listed as text links tested against expanded cards each showing a specific outcome stat. Numbers give visitors a reason to click. Labels do not.
Service page clicks up 31%Descriptive category labels tested against outcome-led headlines that led with what was actually achieved. The result always matters more than the category.
Case study clicks up 22%Six-field form reduced to three fields — name, email and one open question. The barrier to that first step dropped significantly and completions followed.
Completions up 38%Text quotes tested against quotes with a specific metric pulled into the headline. Reading a number before reading the quote changes how the quote lands.
Scroll depth past testimonials up 27%"Speak with us" tested against "Book a call — 45 min, free". Specific language with a specific time commitment performed significantly better on mobile where attention is shorter.
Mobile contact page visits up 19%"Subscribe" tested against "One strategic briefing per month. No filler." A description of what the subscriber actually receives versus a generic label. Value beats vague every time.
Subscription rate up 33%Ten tests. Each one started with a specific hypothesis grounded in what the diagnosis found. Each one ran through Convertly until we had a result we could trust. Each one was documented — win or lose — so the knowledge could compound into the next test.
The cumulative effect was a site that gave visitors what they needed at every stage of their decision. A headline that told them immediately what Berg Partners delivers. Proof that was visible without scrolling. A form that asked for a reasonable amount before any relationship had been established.
This is what a properly run testing programme produces. Not one big win. Ten smaller wins that compound into something significant.
The enquiry volume increased. But more importantly the quality of those enquiries changed. Visitors were arriving already convinced. The site had done the early qualification work before any human conversation began.
What Berg Partners had before was a site that looked professional. What they had after was a site that worked. The difference was not a redesign. It was a structured programme of diagnosis, hypothesis and testing that proved what worked and built on it.
Every change was specific. Every result was measured. Nothing was assumed. That is the only way to build a site that consistently improves.
