Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) is the process by which visitors to a site become paid customers. Consider the following. When visitors land on your Home Page, three things occur:
– moment of orientation (where am I?)
– moment of conversation (what can I do here?)
– moment of value exchange (what benefit does it have for me?)
Conversion Formula:
Conversion Index C = 4m + 3v + 2(i-f) – 2a
Where:
m = motivation
v = value proposition
i = incentive
f = friction
a = anxiety
Find the most trafficked pages on your site that also have the most business value. Then place a conversion mechanism (webinar, blog, email opt-in) to drive people to landing pages that generate the most revenue. Also find pages with a high bounce-rate and optimize the content on these pages.
Customer flow across site:
-Visit site
-Checkout blog
-Make purchase
Set up custom reports in Google Analytics – channel segmenting and custom messaging. Run A/B testing but be sure to avoid traffic spikes/false positives/prevent errors. Also run Run A/A split tests – add a “,” to the page, and run for 400 conversions. If testing does not converge use this to record a baseline for future A/B tests. Understand what visitors are clicking on, What they intend to do; what objections they have; And where they are falling out of the funnel.
