A/B testing in Dubai, with enough traffic to actually call a winner

Most testing programmes in this market are underpowered. A test runs for a week, one variant is four percent ahead, somebody declares a winner and it goes live. That is not an experiment, it is noise being promoted to strategy — and it is the single most common thing we are asked to unpick.

The problem

Most tests never had a chance of being conclusive

Before anything else, a test needs enough traffic and enough conversions to distinguish a real effect from chance. A great many programmes never check.

Where testing goes wrong

  1. Not enough traffic to detect anything

    Detecting a ten percent lift usually needs hundreds of conversions per variant. A page with forty conversions a month cannot resolve that in a fortnight, and running it anyway produces a number that feels like evidence and is not.

  2. Called the moment it looks good

    Peeking at a running test and stopping when it is ahead inflates false positives dramatically. The stopping rule has to be set before the test starts, and then honoured when it is inconvenient.

  3. Testing button colours

    Small cosmetic tests move small numbers and eat the traffic you needed for the tests that matter. The big movers are usually the offer, the price framing, the form length and what the page asks for.

  4. Nobody writes down what was learned

    Twenty tests run, no record of what was believed beforehand or what changed. The programme accumulates activity instead of knowledge, and the same idea gets tested again in a year.

What is included

What the programme contains

Prioritisation, statistics and a record. The building of variants is the easy part.

A power check before anything runs

Your traffic, your baseline conversion rate, and the smallest lift worth detecting. That arithmetic tells you what is testable and what is not, and it is the honest first conversation.

A prioritised backlog

Each idea scored on expected impact, confidence and effort. It stops the calendar being filled by whoever spoke last, and it puts the high-traffic, high-intent pages first.

Hypotheses, not ideas

Written as a claim with a reason and a predicted direction, so a result teaches you something whichever way it goes. Change the button to green is not a hypothesis.

Build and QA

Variants built to not flicker, checked across browsers and devices, and validated so the test does not break tracking or the page for a third of your traffic.

Honest analysis

Pre-registered stopping rule, significance and confidence interval reported, and the practical difference stated in money rather than percentages.

Losers reported

Most tests do not win, and a programme that only reports wins is not measuring. The losses are where the expensive assumptions get killed.

Server-side and feature-flagged tests

Where the change is functional rather than cosmetic, or where a client-side flicker would distort the result.

A written learning log

What we believed, what we tested, what happened, what changed. It is the compounding asset — the programme should get smarter, not just busier.

How we work

How a testing programme runs

The first month is arithmetic and evidence. Tests start when they can conclude.

Before selling you a programme

Traffic, conversions and baseline rate against the smallest lift worth finding. If the numbers do not support testing we say so and point you at the work that will move things instead.

  • Power and sample size calculated
  • Minimum detectable effect agreed
  • Honest testable-or-not verdict
  • Alternative recommended where it is not

Evidence, not opinion

Funnel drop-off, session replay, on-site search, support tickets and sales calls. The biggest opportunities are usually further up than the button everyone wants to change.

  • Funnel drop-off analysis
  • Session replay review
  • Qualitative input from sales and support
  • Backlog scored and prioritised

One test, one stopping rule

Hypothesis written, sample size fixed, stopping rule pre-registered. Then it runs to the end, including the weeks where somebody wants to call it early.

  • Hypothesis with a predicted direction
  • Sample size fixed before launch
  • Stopping rule pre-registered
  • QA across browsers and devices

Win or lose

Result in money, confidence stated, learning written down. Losers get the same write-up as winners, because that is where the assumptions die.

  • Result reported in revenue terms
  • Confidence interval, not just a p-value
  • Losers documented as fully as wins
  • Learning log maintained

Why us

Why our testing is worth paying for

Largely because we will tell you when it is not.

We check you have the traffic first

Power calculation before the proposal. Most sites in this market cannot support a meaningful testing programme on their key pages, and saying so costs us a retainer we would not have earned.

Stopping rules set in advance

Peeking and stopping when a variant is ahead is how underpowered programmes generate confident nonsense. Ours is fixed before launch and honoured afterwards.

We test the offer, not the button

Price framing, form length, what the page asks for, the guarantee. These move real numbers. Colour tests consume the traffic those tests needed.

Losers get written up

Most tests lose. A programme that only reports wins is not measuring anything, and the losses are usually where the expensive assumption gets killed cheaply.

Questions

A/B testing, answered plainly

Starting with how long a test should run, which is what Google shows people asking most.

Long enough to reach the sample size the arithmetic requires, and never fewer than two full weeks regardless. Two weeks covers both weekend patterns and the weekly business cycle; stopping earlier because a variant is ahead is the single most common way testing produces confident nonsense. Calculate the sample size first, then run to it.

For a page with a few hundred conversions a month, a properly powered test typically runs three to six weeks. Below roughly 200 conversions a month per variant, most tests cannot resolve anything smaller than a very large effect, and the honest answer is to fix the obvious problems rather than test.

When it is powered, yes — and when it is not, it is worse than useless, because it produces a number that looks like evidence. Most tests lose or come out flat. The value is in the small number of real wins plus the assumptions you stop paying for.

AED 12,000 to AED 45,000 per month covers most of what we are asked to build. The number moves on how many tests run in parallel, whether variants need development rather than visual editing, and whether server-side testing is involved. Anything quoted before those are known is a guess. We scope first, then price, and the scope document is yours whether or not you proceed. These are market ranges rather than a fixed rate card — the proposal carries the real figure.

That is the first thing we check, before quoting. If your key pages produce under a couple of hundred conversions a month, a testing retainer is not the right spend and we will point you at the work that is — usually the offer, the page structure or speed to follow-up.

95 percent as standard, with the confidence interval reported rather than just the p-value, because the range matters more than the threshold. Where a decision is low-risk and reversible we will sometimes agree 90 percent in advance — in advance being the important part.

Not without a sequential testing design agreed at the start. Peeking and stopping on a good day inflates false positives substantially. If early stopping matters to you, we set the programme up for it properly rather than doing it informally.

Almost never the button. The offer, the price framing, the length of the form and what the page asks a visitor to commit to. Those move numbers large enough to detect at real traffic levels.

Yes, and we QA them across browsers and devices. A variant that flickers on load or breaks on Safari does not produce a clean result, and that is a surprisingly common reason programmes generate noise.

Most tests do lose, and that is a normal working programme rather than a failure. Each loss removes an assumption you were otherwise going to build on. We report them in full, which makes our monthly reports less flattering and more useful.
