Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) is the organized method of aggregate the percentage of website visitors who take an anticipated action, can be just filling out a form, opting for subscription, request a call back, initiating a discussion over live chat, getting in touch via WhatsApp button on your website, becoming customers, or otherwise. The CRO process includes but not limited to understanding how users browse through your site, what type of actions they take while browsing and what’s stopping them from completing your desired goals.
Any website’s conversion rate is the number of times a user completes a goal divided by your site’s total traffic.
Just imagine as if you own an eCommerce website. A user could make a new purchase with each session (in an ideal scenario). We want to optimize the website to make sure when a user is landing on the website, he should not leave without making as many purchases as possible.
For example: A user visited the site three times, that would be three sessions, and for us there are three opportunities to convert which we should not miss or at least should try our level best not to miss.
CRO is very important for any business having a digital presence. Forget about best practices and quick hacks to increase website conversion rate, your best move is to understand your visitors, users, and customers and give them what they need.
