Gocompare.com Boosts Customer Engagement and Conversion Rates With Autonomy
Optimost
Comparison Site Employs Multivariable Testing and Increases Quote Volumes





CAMBRIDGE, London and SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in infrastructure
software for the enterprise, today announced that leading comparison site
Gocompare.com is using Autonomy Optimost's Multivariable Testing (MVT)
solution to boost customer engagement and increase quote volumes. The Autonomy
Optimost solution enables businesses to enhance customer engagement through
varying the content that new visitors see, and then identifies which design
secures the highest number of visitors to the site. Gocompare.com recently
used the Autonomy Optimost solution to increase the number of visitors to its
car insurance landing page. After running the Optimost solution to identify
the most compelling combination of content and layout, the company saw a
significant increase in the click-through rate (CTR).


Launched in November 2006, Gocompare.com helps people find the right insurance
at the right price by focusing on displaying product features rather than just
listing prices. Today, Gocompare.com provides one of the most comprehensive
online comparison services in the UK, comparing a wide range of financial
products. 


"The Optimost system has enabled us to launch new marketing campaigns and
initiatives and measure the impact on our quote volumes instantly. Gocompare
has such a strong proposition for consumers who are looking to save on their
outgoings, it's only right that we should implement the best systems to ensure
that we are getting them through the door. We chose to work with Autonomy
because we were impressed with their extensive experience with multivariable
testing, first-class technology and dedicated customer support," said Nicholas
Hall, head of marketing at Gocompare.com. 


The Autonomy Optimost solution can create, test and optimize, virtually
limitless combinations of web copy, offers, and layouts that determine the
customer journey.  The solution optimizes virtually every online marketing
element including landing pages, registration pages, shopping carts, credit
card pages, banner ads, email creatives, and Web applications as well as every
content type within them, including headlines, copy, forms, images, and rich
media.  


"Autonomy Optimost enables businesses to measure visitors' actions and extract
insight about customer behavior thus boosting customer engagement and
conversion rates," said Greg Kelton, VP EMEA Autonomy Optimost. "We have a
proven track record for helping customers generate significant uplifts and as
such businesses are increasingly turning to Autonomy Optimost. We are
