How to Use TemplateMonster Pop-ups and Boost Conversion 27,9%

Pop-ups are known as one of the most effective marketing tools to grow user engagement and boost conversions. However, the release of the latest Google mobile-friendly search algorithm update has completely changed the way sites featuring pop-ups are being treated by the search engine. According to Google, they will penalize web resources that contain “intrusive interstitials” or (simply put) sites that make it difficult for the web surfers to access your content from mobile devices.

So, does it mean that we should completely stop using pop-ups on our sites? No way. Let’s dig deeper into the issue.

Google Mobile-friendly Search Algorithm Update

Google update applies to mobile web only. Browsing on mobile and reaching the desired pieces of content is more difficult than from desktop screens. That’s why Google treats interstitials as a means of making the web content less accessible for mobile users. Still, there are several ways of using pop-ups on your site that the search giant accepts.

Google is looking for mobile pop-ups that are being accessed directly from the search results. The search giant doesn’t look for pop-ups displayed after the initial page view. Whenever a user reaches your page from Google search results and decides to navigate elsewhere on your page, feel free to engage them with a pop-up.

Sure, these are quite unfortunate news for most of the online marketers. The use of a pop-up could increase conversions as much as 100%. However, the latest Google update has pushed them towards looking for other opportunities of growing the public engagement and boosting sales.

Instead of using pop-ups you can:

• Embed content upgrades directly into your publications. Why is it effective? Well, only those users who are really interested in checking out the offered piece of data will subscribe or download what you provide.
• Use NudgeSumo to better engage with your readers. With its help, you can add CTAs to your content and indicate the value that each of them brings. For example, as a person highlights a sentence talking about the use of ready-made website templates, a writer can add a CTA asking whether a reader agrees or not on the effectiveness of the use of such products. Whenever a person clicks “yes”, you can offer them to download an eBook with guidelines on the proper use of the latter in web design.
• Finally, you can add a subscription or download forms directly into your content. If a person is interested, he will take an action. If not – he will simply ignore such data.
