Understanding The Impact of CRO

Optimise conversions along the entire user journey

Any successful business knows that Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) is the core of their digital marketing strategy and is essential for increasing the percentage of visitors that convert via your website. Otherwise, what’s the point of having one?

CRO is the process that encourages more of your website visitors to become engaged followers and, more importantly, purchasers, so when you’re working with a digital agency, it’s essential they cover CRO as part of their service. 

However, don’t get confused. Many marketers will associate conversions with a sale, when in fact, it’s any desired action that takes place on your website that moves the user further along the sales funnel toward making a purchase.

Types of conversions
  • Clicking a banner ad or a text ad
  • Clicking through to a webpage
  • Subscribing to a newsletter
  • Completing an online form
  • Signing up to a service
  • Sending an email
  • Phoning from a website
  • Clicking through to book online
  • Adding a product to the cart
We Fix Your User Journey

CRO marketing strategy

First, we need to begin by defining a good conversion rate. Your conversion rate will be the percentage of visitors who complete a conversion, so if all users convert, then you’ll have a conversion rate of 100%. But what’s the industry standard?

Larry Kim, founder of WordStream claims the average conversion rate across industries is 2.35%, but the top 25% of companies in the world will have a conversion rate of 5.31% or higher. But it depends on your product or service. For example, many of our dental clients enjoy a conversion rate of 10%.

Following a clear, CRO strategy can help double and even triple your current conversion rate quickly. But first, you’ll need to begin by monitoring and improving your website’s overall performance using tools like Google Analytics to oversee key areas.

Key areas to monitor
  • Device type (mobile, tablet etc)
  • Traffic sources
  • Location of your users
  • Exit pages (last seen pages of a user)
  • Engagement rate per visit
  • Cost per conversion
  • Bounce rate
CRO tactics

  • Refine your communication
