How to Pick a Winner

SMLLR shows the raw scan data per variant. Interpreting the winner depends on your goal:

  • If your goal is engagement (how many people clicked through to a secondary action like booking or reviewing), track conversion metrics on your destination pages using tools like Google Analytics
  • If your goal is simply more scans to a particular version, the variant with more scans wins
  • Wait for statistical significance — ideally 100+ scans per variant before declaring a winner

Once you have identified the winner, end the test and set the winning URL as the permanent destination.

SMLLR measures scans but not post-scan conversions (what people do on the destination page). For conversion tracking, add UTM parameters to each variant URL and measure them in Google Analytics or your analytics tool of choice.
