What is Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)?
Conversion rate optimization is a data-driven process that results in website modifications to boost your conversion rate. By analyzing user behavior and identifying areas for website improvement, we implement changes that increase the likelihood of website visitors taking a desired action, such as making a purchase or filling out an online form. These desired actions are called conversions and are typically tracked in software such as Google Analytics 4 and in more detail on our proprietary tool, LOOP Analytics.
In reviewing your website, we look at:
- Bounce rate and time-on-page to understand how users are interacting with the site and where they are dropping off
- Ease of use and navigation for users, or website usability improvements
- Items that may inhibit the user experience or keep visitors from converting
Our CRO experts will then recommend tactics such as redesigning a page layout, testing different calls-to-action (like buttons, headlines, etc.), or adding social proof (ratings and reviews) to increase trust and credibility.
A/B Testing
A/B (or split testing) involves creating two versions of a page, one control and one variable, then running 50% of traffic to each over a period of time and comparing their performance. By analyzing which version produces the highest conversion rate, businesses can identify the elements that are most effective in driving conversions.
To do this we use Convert, a cloud-based tool to run A/B tests and measure results. From A/B testing to more advanced development, our in-house staff of more than 50 engineers, designers, and strategists can handle the technical lift.
