Tester Jobs Requirements (VIDEO GAME)

Businesses often have one big question for us: How can they better understand their website visitors and deliver more relevant, engaging experiences?

To help businesses test and take action, last spring we launched our enterprise-class A/B testing and personalization product, Google Optimize 360. We saw great demand, so we made it more accessible with a free beta version last fall � and that response also exceeded our expectations, with over 250,000 users requesting an Optimize account.

Today were very excited to announce that both Optimize and Optimize 360 are now out of beta. And Optimize is now immediately available to everyone � for free. This is not a test: You can start using it today.


A recent survey showed 45% of small and medium businesses don�t optimize their websites through A/B testing.¹ The two most common reasons given were a "lack of employee resources" and "lack of knowledge to get started."

If youre part of that 45%, Optimize is a great choice for you. Optimize has many of the same features as Optimize 360. Its just right for small and medium-sized businesses who need powerful testing, but dont have the budget or team resources for an enterprise-level solution. Optimize is easy for anyone to set up. Early users of Optimize have been happy with how easy it is to use. In fact, its built right on top of Analytics, so if youre already an Analytics user youll add just a single line of code to get Optimize up and running. With just a few clicks more, you can start using your Analytics data to design experiments and improve the online experience for your users.

Easy to use

Worried about having to hire someone to run A/B tests on your site, or frustrated about not knowing how to do it yourself? Dont be. The Optimize visual editor allows for WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) editing so you can change just about anything on your site with a drag and a drop. And more advanced users will enjoy the ability to edit raw HTML or add JavaScript or CSS rules directly in the editor.


Powerful targeting capabilities within Optimize allow you to serve the right experiences to just the right set of users. And you have flexible URL targeting capabilities to create simple or complex rules for the pages where you want your experiment to run. To find out if a targeting rule youve set will apply to a specific URL on your site, use the new Optimize URL tester. Just enter a URL and the tester will immediately tell you if that page is a match for your targeting rule.

Easy to understand

Optimize calculates results based on your existing Analytics metrics and objectives using advanced Bayesian methods, so the reporting shows you exactly what you need to know to make better and faster decisions.


We�ve also upgraded the improvement overview (see image above) to help you quickly see how an experiment affects the metrics you care about most, whether that means purchases, pageviews, session lengths, or whatever else you�re tracking in Analytics.

Easy to try 

Leading businesses are building a culture of growth that embraces the use of data and testing to improve the customer experience every day. We�re delighted to offer Optimize to everyone to help deliver better user experiences across the board.

As of today, Optimize is available in over 180 countries. (A special note for our European users: We�ve added a new data processing amendment to the Google Optimize Terms of Service that you may review in the UI and accept if you wish.) And were not done yet: Keep an eye out for more improvements and announcements in the future.

What are you waiting for? Try it right now!

Happy Optimizing!

So Diver Ed was a blast, but we got off the boat in sore need of some facilities and some grub. The boat tour departs from the College of the Atlantic--what you havent heard of it?--a small liberal arts school with an environmental focus in Bar Harbor, Maine.

We wandered into the Dorr Museum on campus, desperately searching for a bathroom. Instead we found the most stunning, touching taxidermy exhibit I have ever seen. Caught you off-guard on that one, right? I am dead (ha-ha) serious. The individual exhibits, all created by students, are arranged to be representative of the natural world in Maine and thus have multiple animals in scenes that are arrestingly honest. I could have spent much more time there, wandering around and saying interesting things like, "oh my god, look at that porcupine," but unfortunately there was a swivel stool and a computer behind a curtain...a setup that made the little campers just about lose their minds with inappropriate glee.

We got out of there fast but not before asking the volunteer at the desk about nearby lunch options. She recommended the on-campus cafeteria and, I will be honest, I kind of smirked in a self-possessed kind of way. However, I have two-year olds and it was lunch time and how miserable do you want to get, really? So we ambled on over to the mess hall where every educational decision I have ever made in my life was called into question.

Honestly, if you go to Acadia and eat any meal at any other place, you are making a very silly decision. In fact, the next time we are up there we may just park the pop-up in one of their parking lots and see what happens. They focus on the use of local, organic, and sustainable food and all baked goods are made from scratch. Great, right? Now the awesome part-- three adults and two children went through the line and got fajitas with fresh guacamole and arugula salad and seafood chowder for a grand total of $11.50. Say, what? It gets better. The cashier told my husband if we spend twelve dollars then we could get unlimited drinks and baked goods for free. My husband was practically throwing singles at the woman.

You know when you have those what would my life be like if I had... moments? This was definitely one of those for me. But dont worry--I have a plan and it centers around my very malleable children. Regardless of the fact that my boys seem most at home swinging wiffle bats at each others heads, I have formed the vision of future parent weekends at the College of the Atlantic. However they might feel, it would suit us very well indeed.
