Summary of 4 Key Benefits
1. Improved Personalization and Customer Experience
The Forrester TEI reports that, using ObservePoint, data-driven organizations quickly identify and correct customer tracking errors to ensure uninterrupted insights about how customers arrive at and interact with their site. And with more complete data, organizations develop better marketing strategies, consistently provide customers with the images and products that will motivate them to action, and increase conversion rates to drive additional revenue. Through increasingly better personalization, the composite customer results from the study show conversion rates grow 5% in year 1, 6% in year 2, and 7% in year 3.With 20% of this growth directly attributable to ObservePoint.
“We invested decent marketing dollars into creating video testimonials, so we implemented analytics on those players to see who watched and what they did as a result. One day, without telling us, the development team made a very minor change to improve the video on mobile and it caused the entire analytics package deployed on the player to break. But because we had an ObservePoint audit running, we caught it that same morning and had it fixed by the end of the day.”

2. Streamlined Path to Purchase Flow
Increasingly complex data collection tools and frequent tagging errors interfere with path to purchase flow. The TEI study shows that organizations who continuously use ObservePoint to locate and address these issues ensure that data collection tools do not slow page loads, that handoffs between sites and third-party payment platforms execute and record smoothly, and that links to key pages are not broken or misdirecting potential customers. The study shows at least a 2% level of path to purchase disruptions and eliminates 75% of those disruptions with ObservePoint.
“I can say without a doubt that since we started, with every pending release that was going to production, ObservePoint has caught an issue for us.”
3. Improved Productivity
All customers interviewed for the TEI agree that ObservePoint saves them significant time and work, with the composite result showing approximately 25% of productivity savings from not having to do manual testing. One interviewee estimates that using ObservePoint saves 3 to 4 days out of each 14-day sprint over manual testing. By automating QA testing with ObservePoint, as well as setting up ongoing monitoring and maintenance of data collection technologies, data-centric organizations spend less time cleansing data and more time deriving insights from it.
“ObservePoint has changed the way we do things. The online marketing team all now have user accounts and get alerts if there is an issue with their pixels. So now, instead of missing out on the data, we find out a lot sooner and we’re able to quickly address that problem.”
4. Reduced Ineffective Advertising Spend
The organizations interviewed for the TEI study spend a significant portion of their marketing budget on digital advertising, but if visitors click through an ad and are misdirected or the tags do not collect their activity, that advertising spend is wasted. With ObservePoint, enterprises get the full value of advertising spend by ensuring customer journeys are not interrupted by broken links and data collection tools are working as intended. While the study conservatively estimates misdirected or broken links on 2% of ads, ObservePoint recaptures 75% of that wasted advertising spend by identifying the problem and alerting the appropriate teams immediately.
“When we started with ObservePoint we found that 2 to 4% of our advertisements pointed people to landing pages that didn’t exist anymore. What an awful experience—your introduction to our brand was a 404 page.”
