It's actually more like 80% for Google. I spent a lot of time running various experiments on Search.

I'll point out a major difference, though: Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are already highly optimized. They've had millions of man-hours put into optimizing everything from product design to UI to UI element positioning to wording to colors to fonts. When you get a new, beneficial result in a change to Google, it's usually because the environment has changed while you weren't looking, and the user is different.

That doesn't apply to a new business that's just learning how to sell their product. In a new business, by definition, you've spent zero time micro-optimizing your message & product. You can get really big wins almost by accident, if you happen to have stumbled into a product category where users actually want what you're building.
