New Quarterly Report from ForeSee Ranks the Top 50 Websites in U.S. on Digital Experience

Netflix, PayPal, and Amazon Rank in Top Three, With Major Retailers and Banks Close Behind

ANN ARBOR, Mich.--()--ForeSee, the leader in Voice of Customer (VOC) solutions, today announced the results of its Digital Experience Index (DXI) for Q3 2018. The DXI chronicles the customer experience of the 50 most popular websites in the U.S., revealing who’s winning and why, and aims to be the benchmark for businesses in every industry as they sharpen their digital customer experiences strategies. In the report, Netflix ranked first with a Net Promoter ScoreSM (NPS®) of 64, followed by PayPal (63), Amazon (54), Google (53) and Apple (49).

Digital transformation is widely recognized as a top strategic initiative for leading companies. Traditional, non-digital-native brands Best Buy and Capital One, which ranked 9th and 13th on NPS respectively — against digital heavyweights from YouTube to Apple — are both seeing the benefits from their decade-long investments in web and mobile to augment their physical channels. Findings in the study also support that a good experience on web and mobile influence a customer’s overall likelihood to recommend a brand and correlate to improved NPS.

“Customers are filtering their experience through an increasingly digital lens,” said Shannon Latta, Vice President of Marketing, ForeSee. “Our Digital Experience Index underscores that people expect and demand a seamless experience across all channels and touchpoints. Customers want to move easily from stores to mobile to web chat, and they’re loyal to businesses that give them consistent, personalized experiences. We’re seeing investment in digital accelerate customer experience transformation.”

As the first digital experience ranking of its kind, the ForeSee DXI measures four key drivers that impact a visitor’s overall satisfaction with their experience: navigation, look and feel, site information, and site performance.
