Website Audit & Benchmark Study

Measure Your Investments and Boost Your Business Growth!

Does your website have what it takes to beat the competition? What are its strengths and weaknesses and what can you do to improve its overall performance? Assessing your position compared to your main competitors and learning from their best practices is an excellent way to help you decide on any future investments.

With NTSPL’s Website Benchmark Program & Audit Services, you now have the means to determine your priorities in the context of the competitive product marketplace.

NTSPL’s Website Benchmark Program & Audit Services helps you determine your website’s performance compared to websites from your direct competitor or a relevant set of others. By integrating both quantitative results and qualitative feedback, we offer you a most effective research method in which respondents evaluate either your own, or your competitors’ website on a number of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

Its smart set-up allows a general website usage and by comparing the results for each website, you can accurately determine the competitive strength of your website as well as identify the necessary steps to outperform the competition.

Our Methodology

A team of NTSPL’s research experts will work with you to create a custom-designed research strategy, focused on your website targets. The exact elements that need to be benchmarked in the research, like product & service presentation, order process, search engine/product finder or other critical tasks on your website, are determined in close consultation with you.

Taking all specifications as well as the competition into consideration, we will then run a suitable survey and identify the various tasks to be executed. These tasks will all initiate a general use of the website and, in order to make valid comparisons, will be similar or of equal weight for all websites involved.

What steps do we take to evaluate your website?

For participants, the benchmark study can be divided into six steps:

Screening
Pre-perceptions questions
Tasks
Task evaluation after each task
Website evaluation
Post-perception questions

Let's Start A Project

The participants in our benchmark studies are generally drawn from our Opinion Bar panel and are selected according to your specific objectives and target groups. We allocate them to one of the websites involved in the study. All participants will engage in a survey driven task based use of the allocated website. Depending on your requirements, we offer a pre-perceptions survey for products and brands involved.

Participants perform the following three major tasks:

The first one usually entails browsing around freely and discovering the website.
The second task mostly focuses on the core process of the site and often involves ordering a product or requesting a service, like booking a trip.
The third task is usually related to specific services like finding information about costs, procedures, downloads or to functionalities such as using the website search engine.

Thereafter, the participants evaluate each task, allowing us to analyze the ease of fulfilling specific tasks and compare this to the results of other websites in the benchmark. All tasks in the study initiate a natural use of the website. Each task is immediately followed by an evaluation, which focuses on goal completion and involves feedback on structure, design, content, usability and user experience.

These evaluations are key when it comes to comparing the different websites in the benchmark. Subsequently, users are surveyed on their (changes in) perception of brand and website in terms of -for example- purchase intention or recommendation intention (Recommendation Intent Score).

Repeating the benchmark enables you to compare results over time. In this way you can see the impact of changes you or your competitors have implemented. Of course, the study can be scaled up by performing the research in multiple countries, either using the same competitors for all countries or selecting specific competitors for each participating country.
