Introduction
Digital advertising can be unpredictable, what works for one audience might not for another. The smartest marketers rely on data, not guesses. A/B testing is the key to unlocking better performance and higher ROI by comparing two ad variations to see which performs best.
What Is A/B Testing?
A/B testing (or split testing) involves running two versions of an ad that differ by only one element — such as a headline, image, or call-to-action. The version that performs better gives you insights into what resonates most with your audience.
Example:
- Ad A: “Grow Your Business with Expert Marketing”
- Ad B: “Ready to Boost Sales? Partner with OMA Comp”
The ad with higher clicks or conversions reveals what motivates your audience to act.
Why It’s Essential
- Improves ROI: Small tweaks can make a big difference in performance.
- Eliminates Guesswork: Data-driven insights lead to better decision-making.
- Optimizes User Experience: Discover what visuals and messaging appeal to your audience.
- Guides Future Campaigns: Use test results to strengthen every campaign you launch.
How to Run an Effective A/B Test
- Change One Variable at a Time: Focus on one element, headline, color, or image.
- Set Clear Goals: Determine whether you’re measuring clicks, leads, or sales.
- Run for a Meaningful Duration: Allow enough time to collect reliable data.
- Analyze and Apply: Use what you learn to improve future ads.
Elements Worth Testing
- Headline or ad copy
- Images or video formats
- Call-to-action text
- Landing page layout
- Audience demographics

For years, Detroit’s IT presence was driven by the auto industry. Within the last five years, though, the tech scene has moved well beyond the Big Three due in large part to an explosive growth in mobile and cloud technologies. When I came to the city six years ago, Detroit’s tech scene was insignificant compared to what it has become now. Today downtown is thriving with young, passionate developers who want to be a part of the revitalization of Detroit through IT. Over the last few years thousands of new tech jobs have been created or have moved into the city.
