# Personalize one page for a known audience

In this guide, you'll change a page's message for one audience, keep the original for everyone else, and track the next step you want visitors to take.

Available on the Scale and Pro plans.

Make an existing page speak to a need someone has already shared with you. You'll change its headline, supporting message, and button text for one audience. Everyone else keeps the original page, and a conversion goal helps you see what people do next.

Our example business, [WorkForge](https://workforge.rightmessage.com), could tailor its homepage for visitors who answered "Coordinate my team" in a survey. You can use an on-site answer even when the visitor hasn't shared their email address.

## 1. Pick your page and audience

Choose a real page on your website and an existing question or segment that identifies the people you want to speak to. For this example, use the `Coordinate my team` answer from [your welcome survey](https://rightmessage.com/help/first-win-welcome-survey), or a segment whose rules you've checked.

You'll need RightMessage [installed on your website](https://rightmessage.com/help/getting-started-with-rightmessage) and access to campaigns and conversion goals. Website personalization and conversion goals require **Scale** or **Pro**. The optional A/B comparison requires **Pro**.

If your segment uses data from an email platform or CRM, the browser needs to be identified first. Connecting the integration alone isn't enough.

Write the changes you'd like that audience to see. WorkForge could use:

- A headline saying "Give every team handoff a clear owner".
- A supporting paragraph saying "Agree who owns the next step before work moves between people".
- Button text that describes the existing destination in terms of team work.

Keep the button destination, form, price, and offer terms unchanged. Compare your copy with the real page it links to. Don't add a testimonial or performance claim without evidence.

Visitors with another answer, no answer, or missing provider data should keep the original content. So should visitors on other pages. You don't need an **Everyone** variant for that.

## 2. Create the campaign

A campaign holds the page changes and the rules for who sees them.

1. Open **Campaigns** and choose **New campaign**.
2. Enter `WorkForge team page` in **Campaign name**.
3. In **Which page should it personalize?**, enter your actual page URL.
4. Under **Create a variant for these segment groups**, select your survey's group.
5. Deselect every answer except `Coordinate my team`. Check that the preview lists one variant.
6. Choose **Create campaign**. The visual editor opens after the draft saves.
7. Choose **Leave editor**, open the campaign, and keep its status switch off while you build.
8. In **Experiences**, choose **Open in visual editor** to return to the page.

Select your intended segment rather than leaving the group selection empty. An empty selection creates an **Everyone** variant. [Creating a personalization campaign](https://rightmessage.com/help/create-a-personalization-campaign) covers the other campaign options.

## 3. Change the message

1. Select the team audience in the editor, rather than **Default**. Check that its rule uses the right survey group and `Coordinate my team` answer.
2. In **Personalize** mode, click the headline on the page.
3. Under **General**, find **Content**, choose **Replace all**, and enter your new headline.
4. Open **Target** and choose **CSS Selector**. Keep the selector from the element you clicked, and check that it identifies only the intended headline.
5. Open **Pages** and restrict this change to your domain and exact page path.
6. Repeat for the supporting paragraph and main button text. Keep the button's URL and target unchanged, and set the page restriction for each change.
7. Select **Default** to compare the original page. Use **Show original** on an action to compare its source content.

The starting URL doesn't limit every change to that page. Each action needs its own page restriction. Keep **CSS Selector** for this guide, because **Smart Match** hides the **Pages** tab.

Any additional audience rules must all match. Check the saved actions for wrong-page, hidden-element, or missing-element warnings before continuing. Also check separate mobile elements, such as a mobile version of the main button.

## 4. Track the next step

Choose what you'd like visitors to do after reading the page. If your form sends people to a unique confirmation page after a successful request, use that real page for a conversion goal.

1. Open **Conversion Goals** and start a new goal.
2. Under **What should count as a conversion?**, choose **Page view**.
3. Under **Which pages?**, select your domain and **Path is**, then enter the confirmation page's path without UTM parameters.
4. Set **Goal name** to something that describes the visit, such as `Walkthrough confirmation page visited`.
5. Under **Measure it in these campaigns**, select your campaign and choose **Create goal**.
6. Return to the campaign's **Conversion Goals** tab and check that the goal is attached with **Tracking** on.
7. If other goals are attached, use **Make primary** for this goal and check **Judge this campaign on**.

Check that a successful submission reaches the page and a failed submission doesn't. The goal records a visit, so someone who opens a public confirmation URL directly can count too. The historical match preview helps you check your rule. It doesn't add past conversions.

If you don't have a suitable confirmation page, use a supported **Click** or **Form submission** goal instead. Name the action it records. A click on a demo button isn't a booked demo.

Open **Split Tests** and review the holdback setting. New campaigns start with testing enabled and a 10% holdback, so some matching visitors can see the original page. [Comparing personalization with a holdback](https://rightmessage.com/help/a-b-testing-your-website-personalization) explains the options.

## 5. Preview it on your site

Use the built-in preview to try the draft on your real page before publishing.

1. Choose **Preview on your site** in the bottom bar. Use **Choose preview URL** to start on the page you're changing.
2. Preview the team audience and the original page on desktop and mobile.
3. Check text wrapping, button wording, destinations, and the form's validation and confirmation page. Use test submissions you've approved.
4. Use the debugger docked at the bottom to inspect the audience match and any holdback assignment.

Then try the survey normally, without forcing a segment. Check the team answer, another answer, no answer, and a returning visit. Visit an unrelated page too, so you can confirm the changes stay on the intended page.

If the answer comes from your CRM, test the real identification path. When a matching visitor sees the original content, check the debugger for holdback before changing your audience rules. [Testing your changes](https://rightmessage.com/help/best-practices-for-testing) covers these checks in detail.

Keep any check you can't complete marked as unverified. Don't publish just to get a screenshot of an inactive campaign.

## 6. Publish

Once you're happy with the page and its matching rules, activate the campaign in the draft. Choose **Publish** and [review all pending changes](https://rightmessage.com/help/publishing-your-changes), including other campaigns, widgets, and System Flows.

Visit the published page without forced segments and repeat the matching and original-page checks. Confirm that the goal is published, attached, and records the intended next step. Seeing the new headline and completing the form are separate checks.

When your audience sees the matching message, everyone else keeps the original, and your goal records the action you chose, it's working. Next, use the campaign's **Results** tab to see how it's doing. Wait for real visits and conversions before drawing conclusions about whether the new copy helps.
