CONVERSION RATE OPTIMIZATION

What If Your Website Could Be Doing Even More?

The math is simple – DOUBLE your revenue by increasing your conversion rate from 1 to 2%. The smallest change can make the biggest difference in your bottom line. If attracting website traffic isn’t your biggest problem then perhaps it’s time to consider conversion rate optimization. Let us help turn your visitors into conversions and revenue.

Conversion Optimization – Work Smarter, Not Harder

What are your options when it comes to generating more sales?

You could do “more” – buy more ads, do more SEO, create more content, hire more salespeople, offer more discounts. The list goes on and is quite daunting to even the most experienced and talented marketing professional.

The other smarter option is to take advantage of the traffic your website already generates and get more out of each visitor. Conversion optimization is all about being smarter with what you have. It’s about using data, making small tweaks, watching the result, and building from there.

The reality is that one day spent on Conversion Optimization could result in the same profit as months on SEO or PPC.

BENEFITS OF CONVERSION OPTIMIZATION

What Will Conversion Rate Optimization Do for Your Website?

Let’s cut to the chase. CRO is all about increasing revenue. Who wouldn’t want to make more money? There are several ways our conversion optimization strategies contribute to a stronger bottom line.

  • Leverage Existing Website Traffic

    It’s a problem if you have a lot of website visitors but very few are taking action. What’s the point of having a website if that’s the case? CRO leverages what you already have to create a cost-effective way to generate more revenue.

  • Lower Your Customer Acquisition Cost

    CRO helps move customers through the buying process more efficiently and often much quicker. You likely spend a lot of resources acquiring each new visitor to your website, now let’s make sure they turn into a customer.

  • Strengthen SEO Results

    Google uses visitor behavior when determining how to rank your website. Let’s use CRO to improve your overall visitor experience and show Google that your website deserves top rankings.

  • Get to Know Website Visitors Better

    Since CRO is data driven you will learn more about what motivates your customers, what they will respond to, and how you can better meet their needs.

  • Make Data Driven Decisions

    Missing or incomplete data can lead you to make less than profitable decisions. Since CRO is based on collecting, measuring, and analyzing data you can be sure you make the best decisions in website design, messaging, and performance.

  • Increase Profitability of Paid Advertising

    If you are conducting Paid Search Advertising (PPC) then CRO will have a huge impact on your bottom line. More of your paid visitors will convert which lowers your cost-per-conversion and can also impact your cost-per-click and ad performance.

  • Build Website Trust and Credibility

    A major strategy of CRO is establishing your credibility and expertise through social proof, reviews, awards, certifications. All of these added confirmations help with online and offline trust.

  • Improve Brand and Image

    Overall, conversion optimization gives you a better looking website that better resonates with your visitors. Regardless of an action, each visitor will leave more impressed with your brand and offerings than they did prior to CRO.

    This is the most important step – a conversion optimization strategy is only as sound as how it is executed. We get to work brainstorming and finalizing all the details of CRO opportunities. We combine our finesse and expertise with industry best practices to improve design, user experience, and overall messaging of the website that will ultimately lead more visitors to take your desired outcome(s).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is conversion rate optimization?

Conversion rate optimization (CRO) is the systematic process of increasing the percentage of visitors who take action: filling out a form, becoming customers, click-to-call, and more. This process involves understanding how users move through your site, what steps they take, and what’s stopping them from completing your goals.

How does conversion rate optimization work?

Our basic process for conversion rate optimization is defining our objective (example: get more purchases), taking a baseline measurement of the conversion rate, making strategic changes to the website, and measuring the resulting conversion rate. The process is repeated until we achieve the best result possible. Conversion rate optimization should occur on a regular basis to ensure sustained results.

How do you optimize conversion rate?

There are many proven routes to increase your conversion rate. Based on the exact definition of a conversion and your website’s baseline statistics we will look at components like design, speed, text, layout, use of media, credibility factors and third-party content, as well as other current best practices.

Why is conversion rate optimization important?

Essentially CRO gets your more value (ie. profit or return) from each website visitor already on your website. You can increase revenue per visitor and grow your website and business. In terms of SEO the Search Engines look at user behavior as a ranking signal. CRO helps you get more desirable user behavior and outcomes, which in turn, can improve your Search Visibility and overall website traffic.

What is a good conversion rate?

The average conversion rate is 1 – 3% (2.35% to be exact). Good conversion rates vary based on your industry as well as other factors such as browser type (ex. desktop visitors tend to have a conversion rate double that of mobile visitors) and channel source (ex. sources where consumers have higher intent have a higher conversion rate).

How do I calculate conversion rate?

Conversion rate is calculated by dividing number of conversions by total visitors times 100%. Conversion Rate = (Conversions/Total Visitors) x 100%
