Drive Business Growth with Our CRO Expertise

The average global website conversion rate is just 3.68%, but top-performing sites achieve more than 11.45%1

Imagine the potential impact on your business if you could boost your conversion rates to these levels. 

Your website's performance is crucial for turning visitors into loyal customers, and our CRO services are here to help you unlock that potential.

 

Your business is investing time and resources to attract website visitors, but if they aren't converting, those efforts are going to waste. A low conversion rate can stem from various issues:

Conversion Rate Optimization
  • Unclear calls to action (CTAs)
  • Poor user experience (UX)
  • Ineffective landing pages
  • Misaligned messaging

These problems not only frustrate potential customers but also cost your business revenue and growth opportunities.

Our holistic approach combines advanced analytics, user experience enhancements, and rigorous testing to boost your website's performance. Here’s an outline of our CRO process, which follows our companywide standard process framework:

O8 Process - Alignment, Strategy, Discovery, Design, Implement, Optimize

Our 6-Step CRO Process

1. Alignment and Research

We start by conducting a thorough analysis of your website, industry, and specific business problems and goals. 

2. Strategy Development

Based on our research, we develop a tailored CRO strategy that aligns with your business goals. This includes:

  • Goal Setting: Defining clear, measurable objectives for your CRO efforts.
  • Hypothesis Creation: Formulating hypotheses about potential changes that could improve conversion rates.
  • Prioritization: Ranking the hypotheses based on their potential impact and implementation feasibility.
3. Discovery

This phase involves:

  • Site Audit: We perform a comprehensive audit to identify existing issues affecting conversions.
  • Competitor Analysis: We analyze your competitors’ websites to understand what’s working in your industry.
  • User Research: Gathering insights from user behavior, feedback, and heatmaps to pinpoint bottlenecks and opportunities.
4. Test and UX Design

We validate our hypotheses through rigorous test design. This stage involves planning and test design for:

  • A/B Testing: Comparing two versions of a webpage to see which performs better.
  • Multivariate Testing: Testing multiple variables simultaneously to find the optimal combination.
  • User Testing: Conducting usability tests to gather qualitative data on user interactions.
  • UX and Graphic Design: We design mockups for any page changes we intent to test.
5. Implementation

In this phase we implement any page changes and carry out our tests.

6. Optimization, Analysis, Reporting, Insights

After testing, we analyze the results to determine the effectiveness of the changes. This step includes:

  • Data Analysis: Reviewing metrics such as conversion rates, bounce rates, and user engagement.
  • Report Generation: Creating detailed reports to summarize the findings and provide actionable insights.
  • Continuous Optimization: Implementing the winning variations and continuously seeking further improvements.

We provide you with comprehensive reports and insights to keep you informed about your website’s performance. Our reports include:

  • Performance Metrics: Tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure success.
  • Actionable Recommendations: Offering insights and recommendations based on the data collected.
  • Regular Updates: Keeping you informed about ongoing optimizations and their impact.

Our process is iterative, allowing us to continually refine and improve your website’s performance over time. By focusing on data-driven insights and user-centric strategies, we ensure that your website is always optimized for maximum conversions.

 

Brain-Based CRO

How does Neuromarketing Improve CRO?

Neuromarketing is a technique that uses insights from neuroscience to enhance marketing strategies, including conversion rate optimization (CRO). Here’s how neuromarketing can play a crucial role in boosting CRO:

  1. Understanding Consumer Emotions: Neuromarketing helps decipher the emotional responses of consumers to marketing messages, website design, and product offers. By identifying what truly resonates on an emotional level, you can tailor your content and design to evoke the right feelings, encouraging more conversions.
  2. Optimizing Website Design: Eye-tracking technology and brain imaging can reveal how consumers navigate through a website, showing what attracts attention and what gets overlooked. This data allows for precise tweaks to the layout, color scheme, and call-to-action placements to make the website more engaging and easy to use.
  3. Improving Product Presentation: Insights into the subconscious preferences of consumers can inform more effective presentation of products and services. For instance, understanding how certain colors or imagery can affect purchasing decisions enables you to design marketing materials that trigger positive responses.
  4. Enhancing Persuasiveness of Messaging: Neuromarketing can identify the specific words, phrases, and types of images that trigger the desired neural responses associated with trust and pleasure. This knowledge helps in crafting compelling messages that can lead to higher conversion rates.
  5. Personalization and Segmentation: By understanding different neural responses among various segments, neuromarketing enables more accurate customer segmentation. This allows for highly personalized marketing strategies that are more likely to convert due to their tailored approach.
  6. Reducing Friction in Decision Making: Neuromarketing research can pinpoint where potential customers might experience decision fatigue or confusion on a website. Streamlining these processes based on neuroscience can reduce bounce rates and increase the likelihood of conversion.

Incorporating neuromarketing into your CRO strategies not only makes your marketing efforts more effective but also ensures that the user experience is pleasant and emotionally engaging, leading directly to higher conversion rates.
