Conversion rate optimization or \u201cCRO\u201d is the strategic method of improving a website to encourage a higher percentage of visitors to take an ideal action when they visit the site. For example, a web page can be designed and set up in a way that makes it more likely for the visitor to subscribe to an email list, fill out a contact form, buy a product, or book a call.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

CRO is all about first understanding how the average internet user moves around a website. What do they like to see? What do they find confusing or distasteful? How do they interact with the website? What actions are they likely to take first, or even last? What could be stopping them from completing the goal that you– the business owner or web designer or both– set out?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Do Conversions Matter?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cConversion\u201d is a fancy word for when a potential client who visits your website completes the actual goal you want them to complete. Every site, page, and even the company has its own unique goals, both big and small.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Big conversions are things like (say, you\u2019re an e-commerce website) a visitor placing an order or a client booking you to vend for a special event.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Smaller conversions, called Micro-conversions, include someone subscribing to your email list, downloading your free e-book, or following your blog. Many micro-conversions end up leading to big conversions if done well!<\/span><\/p>\n
