Does adding a well scripted and produced video help significantly in conversions from visits to my divorce lawyer website to calls for my services?

Should the addition of well scripted and produced video to my divorce lawyer website increase my conversions and, if so, to what extent?
-
Almost certainly.
http://www.kurtzandblum.com/ did exactly this and saw a significant increase in conversions (and 14% increase in traffic).

It is impossible to say to what extent adding a video to your site will increase conversions but adding a good video is one of the things I would try to see if the conversion rate goes up.
Before having the video made you should consider how many new clients you would need to get to pay for the video. Then if you believe that the video will increase the conversions by an amount more than you need to break even do it.
I would use the video to encourage people to contact your office rather than trying to answer all the questions they may have. You can also use it to pre-qualify people if you get a lot of people contacting the office that you are unable to help.
I hope this helps

Questions like this pertaining to CRO can really depend on A/B testing. A lot of marketers will recommend you to test something similar to the well scripted and produced video before spending the budget. You can maybe try another video that you have access to or the rights to publish on your site.
See if this increases the conversions and if it does it may give you the evidence you need to spend the budget on the tailored video.
CRO always comes down to testing and studies.

How well does your site rank at the moment for you primary keywords? I know you haven't indicated that you expect better rankings, but from experience, many people think this will be the magic bullet to get them ranked...it won't make the difference - just to say.
I suppose it will depend on the video. Divorce is a highly emotive subject and it may depend on how you, or others on the video are viewed by those same emotive people. Do you have a face that suits radio or are you a warm person that conveys care and trust?
Maybe the business is aimed at "we'll screw the best deal out of your husband, and then screw him over as well..." - hey, some may love that tactic.
Ultimately, people buy from people, and if they trust what is being shown on the screen, you have a good chance of increasing conversions.
The last thing I would say is don't trust your own judgement - get a decent consensus of opinion of who should be shown on the film.
Hope that helps.

When to determine that a change DIDN'T affect conversion rates
Hi everyone, Description of test: We're a lead gen site trying to add more value by providing users with real, live quotes after they submit a lead. However, we don't want showing the quotes to tank our lead conversion rates. So we're running a test where 50% of leads see quote results and 50% don't, and we compare the lead conversion rates for each. The best possible outcome is to show that showing the quotes DIDN'T negatively affect conversion rates. My issue: When do we conclude the test? In the end, we're hoping to see that the change didn't cause a statistically significant difference between the control and version B, which is the opposite of every other test I've ever run. So, at what point do we conclude that the changes in version B didn't have a significant effect on lead conversions? Currently the control is doing 5% better than the variation with a p-value of .379

I am confused on adding Google+ authorship markup to a multiauthor WP blog
The blog for a client is at http://blog.multiview.com . I am not sure how to tell them to add Google+ authorship tags to the site, and link the posts to the individual G+ profiles of each individual author. One source shows it is highly complex, seesee http://searchengineland.com/the-definitive-guide-to-google-authorship-markup-123218 However, in the Google webmaster account, there is a real simple explanation, i.e. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2539557?hl=en Considering that this is an area that is very murky for me, is one of these directives out of date? Is one preferable? How complicated would that be, for this particular blog?

Video for Ecommerce
Hi all- I am currently making videos to put on our site about some of our products. The same video will appear on a few different product pages as they will be about the category of products (i.e. how many gumballs fit in a few different size jars). My questions are: Should I worry about duplicate content issues if the rest of the page is unique? and for hosting the videos/SEO: Should I put the videos on youtube or use another hosting service. I don't think any of these are going to go viral, it's mostly about more content on the page to increase conversions. Any thoughts would be appreciated Thanks Ken.

How important to conversions is proper English on a website?
Many websites - especially those done in foreign countries by non-native English speakers - have many grammatical and idiomatic errors in the English copy. How important is that to conversions (actually convincing the customer to buy, etc.) Is the poor English a turn-off, a cause for distrust or discomfort - or do people not care? I'd be interested to hear people's personal opinions (the more the merrier) and if anyone has a more global perspective backed by research, testing, etc - that would be great, Thanks in advance!
