Hypothesis

A general claim may fit more needs while explaining less. Keep both claims accurate; specificity does not require a number.

How to run this test

Primary metric

Primary action completion rate

Check whether a specific benefit statement changes completion of the target action.

Other metrics

  • Post-action drop-off rateMake sure visitors attracted by the specific promise do not drop off at the next step.
  • Bounce rateTrack whether narrow framing drives visitors away.
  • Scroll depthCheck whether visitors continue browsing.
  • Return or cancellation rateTrack later losses that may follow a mismatch between the promise and reality.

What to check before and during the test

  • SpecificityCompare a general benefit with one specific use case supported by evidence.
  • Keep constantKeep CTA, imagery, placement and offer unchanged.
  • EvidenceVerify any numerical claim before using it; do not test unsupported promises.
  • AudienceReview interest differences within existing segments.
  • Separate testCompare specific wording with and without numbers separately.

Setup mistakes to avoid

  1. 1Do not add a number to a benefit statement without supporting measurement.
  2. 2Do not change the benefit statement and CTA wording together.
  3. 3Do not turn one customer's example into a general promise.
  4. 4Do not extend the promise to an outcome the product does not deliver.
  5. 5For regulated areas such as health or finance, verify local claim rules before making a specific promise.
