Step by step

Screenshots show the interface used in the original guide (Shopify in French, Leadpages in English). In your account, buttons appear in your language.

  1. 1

    Prepare at least two variants

    Create truly different versions: a different offer, angle or audience.

  2. 2

    Set the goal

    Form, click or purchase: Smart Traffic learns from this goal.

  3. 3

    Turn on Smart Traffic

    Click « Let AI optimize this for me ». Instead of a fixed split, the AI routes each visitor and gets better as visits add up.

    Optimize panel: automatic traffic split between the original and the variant
  4. 4

    Track the results

    Compare the overall conversion rate before and after. Add a new variant when another one runs out of steam.

Common mistakes
