Configure your pop-up settings
The success of any pop-up depends on delivering it at the right time on the right page based on customers' interactions or actions carried out on your website. With PageSense, you can choose the web pages where you want to show your pop-up, and configure when (using preset and custom triggers) and how frequently you want your pop-up to appear in front of your users.
For example, your visitor is reading a new piece of content on your blog page, then you can offer a pop-up with a downloadable PDF option 40 seconds after a visitor arrives on your article, assuming that gives them time to read the introduction and get a good sense of the ideas you are discussing. These types of settings help attract new subscribers, nurture relationships, keep engagement levels high and meet your unique business needs. It is also a surefire way of improving clicks and conversions.To configure your pop-up settings:
1. Use the Set Target Pages option on the CONFIGURATION page to specify the web page you want to show your pop-up on.
You can use different URL match types to show the pop-up only to visitors browsing a specific page on your site. Also, use the EXCLUDE PAGES option to exclude web pages where you don't want to show the pop-up on your site.
For example, you want to show a 'Newsletter subcription' pop-up message when the user lands on the blog pages of your site. In this case, you can set up the target pages for your pop-up by choosing the Starts With option from the dropdown and pasting the beginning part of the URL which appears in all the blog pages as shown below. Similarly, you can use the Doesn’t contain option to specify a URL part for all the pages you want to exclude.
2. Choose when you want the pop-up to launch and appear to visitors on your web page from the options in the Select a Trigger section. PageSense lets you activate your pop-up using two types of trigger conditions: Preset triggers and Custom triggers.
3. Choose how frequently the pop-up will be displayed to your visitors on the web page from the options in the Define Response Behavior section.
For example, if you’re using a newsletter pop-up, you can hide the pop-up from visitors who have already subscribed by checking Until the visitor completes the pop-up. If they’ve seen it once, you might not want them to see it the next time they visit. For a less disruptive experience, you can show the pop-up for a certain number of times or hide it for return visitors altogether.
Note: We use cookies to identify new and returning visitors. If a visitor has our pop-up cookie in their browser, your site will count them as a repeat visitor. If they clear their cache or visit your site from a different browser, they’ll count as a new visitor.
4. Click Next to view the SUMMARY tab where you can see a summary of your experiment's configuration options such as the number of variations created, goals added, targeted audience segments, and other settings you made.
5. Click Launch to activate the pop-up on your web pages.
Your pop-up widget will now be shown to the targeted audience on your website and Zoho PageSense will track visitors' response on the REPORTS tab of your experiment. If you want to make changes to your pop-up, click the Pause button in the top-right corner, then click Relaunch to run the experiment again.
Important: Ensure that the Zoho PageSense code snippet is installed on all the URLs you want to show the pop-up on.
