Search engine optimization (SEO) is essential to create a strong online presence for your website. To achieve better search rankings, businesses must keep their SEO strategies on point. Since the search algorithms receive regular updates, website rankings also fluctuate from time to time. Hence, frequent changes in a website’s SEO become necessary to optimize its performance. However, some of these changes may degrade the website rankings for unknown reasons.

So, for the best results, an AB statistical analysis is necessary to check how different meta descriptions are affecting the page traffic.

AB testing provides insights into the performance of web pages and enables you to make the required changes.

So, to perform A/B testing on webpages, you will have to choose two statistically different pages. The results may vary depending upon the nature of the page, so it is better to avoid direct comparison. In such cases, analyze the performance against the control group and variation group. The control group is the unaltered version of meta descriptions of the testing web page. Likewise, the variation group is a different version of the meta description under testing.
