About GemMeter

What is GemMeter?

GemMeter is an automated built-in tool capable of analyzing elements, evaluating page performance, and providing design suggestions for your landing page in an instant. Powered by thorough knowledge of the eCommerce industry and best common practices, GemMeter helps detect design mistakes, enhance readability, and ultimately improve your conversions. 

 

 

Why is GemMeter important?

GemMeter is created to assist users in building high-converting landing pages by offering practical suggestions for better page optimization.

 

Where can I get GemMeter?

Note: GemMeter is available only when you design a Landing Page

For first-time use: The moment you drag and drop an element onto the page, the GemMeter icon will automatically show up as a sticky blue gauge button in the bottom right corner of the screen.
 

 

To start using GemMeter, follow these steps:

Step 1: Click on the GemMeter icon to open the onboarding pop-up that gives a brief introduction to the feature.

Step 2: Hit Continue, and you’re all set!

 

 


From the second time onwards: GemMeter will only appear when there is an error found, and there are no further steps required.

 

How to Use GemMeter

After the initial app Onboarding process, the GemMeter icon will only appear when there is an error found on your landing page, following GemMeter Scoring rules.

GemMeter Status
The status of the circle surrounding the GemMeter icon indicates whether there is any error found or not. Only when your page is error-free does a full circle show up. 

 

Click on the GemMeter icon to check the error(s) found when the circle is not complete

When GemMeter is opened, the icon shows emojis that express how satisfying your landing page is.

Steps to use GemMeter

Step 1: Trigger the GemMeter pop-up:

From the editor, click on the GemMeter icon, then you will see a list of errors found on your landing page and suggestions to solve them respectively.

The GemMeter icon isn't moveable, while the pop-up window is.

 

Step 2: Optimize your landing page based on correction suggestions:

CTA buttons:
It’s ok for me”: To skip the suggestion for the error found and all future suggestions of the same type. 

Show it”: To be directed to where the error is, in which the examined element and the exact Settings section that needs fixing are highlighted for you. From there, you can follow GemMeter’s recommendation by accepting the suggested settings, then click Done to confirm the change. After that, you will be taken to the next error found.  

List of checked errors: Click on the bullet list icon to open the list of errors that have been reported by the GemMeter scoring system.


 

 


The errors are listed in priority order: Critical impact > High impact > Medium impact. You can click on each box to see the detailed feedback from GemMeter and optimize your landing page accordingly.


Step 3: Finish:

After checking all errors found, you can click on the Close button or move the pop-up window to another place to continue editing your page. You can also give feedback on GemMeter’s performance by clicking on the Star icon on the top bar.
