CRO, also known as conversion rate optimisation, is the process of enhancing your website and its content in order to boost conversions. As a business, your site should be designed so that it converts the maximum number of visitors into paying customers. Even if you have an incredibly popular product or service and invest in efficient marketing campaigns, poor conversion rates can kill off sales.

In short, for every 100 people who visit your site, how many actually reach the goal for that particular page? The goal might be for them to subscribe to a newsletter, place an order, leave their contact details, or whatever you choose. Conversion rate optimisation techniques allow you to increase revenue, lower your acquisition costs, obtain better value from your current users and, simply, grow your business.

Our CRO methodology

CRO consultation

Our team of experts will meet with you, virtually or in person, to discuss your current challenges and marketing performance, analyse your customers and funnel and understand your strategic goals, growth timeline, and KPIs. We’ll answer all the questions you might have and work together to find the right solution for your business.

Analytics setup

As more businesses continue their digital transformation journey, it’s essential that the correct tools are in place to grow and retain website traffic. We use software such as Google Analytics to really get to grips with the data from your site. Analytics software reveals a wealth of insights that can help increase conversion rates. The insights we gather help us find opportunity areas for testing, as well as reasons for test prioritisation.

Conversion rate analysis

Are your online sales and enquiries growing at a healthy rate? One of the biggest benefits of conversion rate analysis is that it removes the guesswork and gives you a straight answer.

Reviewing anonymous recordings of users exploring the site can further validate real-time issues. It could be something simple like a user not being able to perform a successful search because the results are not being presented correctly, or the landing page is not pushing people to explore the website further. Being able to visualise the matter at hand helps us to derive possible solutions.

CRO test setup & monitoring

Testing and monitoring lie at the heart of our conversion rate optimisation service. Analysis alone can only tell you so much - it’s only by testing page version A versus page version B (and other multiple variables) can you know for sure what’s working better for users.

Ascensor’s experienced CRO services department combine cutting-edge technology, knowledge and techniques with their own expertise to study how users engage with your site, create tests and prove conclusively which changes to your site will improve performance and conversions.

Conversion rate optimisation action recommendations

We’ll provide comprehensive and clear recommendations designed to improve your conversion rate in short order. We may need to redesign parts of your site to improve the user journey, or perhaps we’ll recommend blogs or other content to optimise key landing pages.

Whatever actions we suggest, we’ve got the expertise to implement any changes quickly and efficiently, in order to boost your conversion rates and help your business grow.

A/B testing

A/B testing helps us understand how changes on the site impact conversion and it’s an ideal way to determine future implementation on the site.

Also known as split testing or multivariate testing, it’s a cost-effective and smaller-scale way of testing changes before you allocate large resources to site-wide development, and all tests that we undertake are backed up by data and user information to give them the best possible chance of succeeding.

From our hypotheses, we’ll create a series of variations to test on your users and find out which one is the best for your business. The tests might be wholesale changes in design, copy and images, or perhaps smaller tweaks to elements such as CTAs that our research has shown potential customers are struggling with.

Heatmapping

Want to know if a CTA button is doing its job?

Start with a heatmap. Heatmapping tools allow us to visualise where your visitors are clicking for different test variations, and track user journeys across your site. Your report will explain exactly how your customer base are interacting with each targeted page and which elements they focus on. It also shows us where they’re getting frustrated or stuck. Put simply, heatmapping allows us to view the quality of user experience as visitors navigate your site. With this information, our CRO campaigns can be tailored to audience behaviour and increase conversions.

Google Analytics audits & behaviour tracking setup

Ascensor’s Google-certified analysts will take a deep dive into your Google Analytics account to audit performance and identify the weak points on your site, and areas of additional opportunity.

Our CRO team are experts at examining the essential CRO metrics and detecting patterns in data that suggest where users are having trouble converting. When Google Analytics is set up correctly with multiple goals and events functioning, it can provide amazing insights - not just on website performance but also on user behaviour.

User journey optimisation

User confusion and frustration are often key reasons for poor conversion rates - and understanding your user journey path is integral to CRO.

We understand that alongside conversion optimisation services, the customer journey funnel really is the cornerstone of making your marketing efforts convert.

If your website doesn’t follow the best practices of UX design, then site visitors will often act differently to how you were intending and by conducting tests to review the orientation of content we can best determine the ideal design for your user journey.

Navigation optimisation

A good CRO strategy should always focus on making your website as easy as possible to navigate. Our team will test different navigation configurations in order to provide an improved user experience, develop detailed customer insights and boost conversion rates. We’ll optimise key areas of your site such as landing pages and product pages to enhance the number of conversions.

Transparent reporting

We understand that conversion rate optimisation data needs to be presented so that decision-makers and stakeholders can understand the results. Ascensor’s CRO specialists provide transparent documentation of our multivariate tests and display the data simply, to help you zero in on points of interest and see where your money is going.
