As a marketer, you want to improve your website\u2019s performance and drive more conversions. In many cases, A\/B testing<\/a> could be the answer.<\/p>\n

By comparing two versions of a webpage, you can determine which one is more effective at achieving your goals.<\/p>\n

In this article, we\u2019ll walk you through the steps to set up A\/B testing using Microsoft Clarity<\/a> and GA4<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Microsoft Clarity is a free heatmap analytics tool that has all the necessary segmentation functionalities to set up A\/B testing, especially when Google Optimize is sunsetting<\/a> as a marketer; you need alternative<\/a> ways to run your tests.<\/p>\n

The easiest and most straightforward way to set up A\/B testing is to set up two versions of the webpage and direct traffic to each.<\/p>\n

By using a URL filter of Microsoft Clarity, you can segment data and analyze them for different versions of your webpage.<\/p>\n

But what if you want to test different layouts of the page on the live traffic without different URLs?<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Clarity has custom tags<\/a> (and GA4 custom dimensions), so you can tag your users and filter them in reports.<\/p>\n

What Are Microsoft Clarity Custom Tags?<\/h2>\n

Clarity\u2019s custom tags are arbitrary alphanumeric custom labels you can assign to the visitor and later use to segment data and analyze recordings and heatmaps for different testing groups.<\/p>\n

There are no limits. You can add as many tags as you want to your project without any restrictions or limitations.<\/p>\n

How To Tag A Visitor Using Microsoft Clarity<\/h2>\n

Tagging is as simple as running a small snippet of JavaScript code:<\/p>\n

clarity(\"set\", \"experiment\", \"group_name\");<\/pre>\n
But I would like to guide you through a specific, real-life example of how this can be used from our experience.<\/p>\n
