What is Conversion Rate Optimisation?
Often abbreviated to CRO, conversion rate optimisation is the process of improving a website so that more visitors become leads or customers. This can be achieved by making changes to design, layout, copy or flow.
Why is it important?
The time and money invested in generating traffic can be quickly undone if there are issues or bottlenecks that cause potential customs to leave early. By increasing the efficiency of your site, you directly impact all traffic, be it via dedicated ad spend or social media engagement.
Our approach
We believe in focusing on and refining the details of your website to best represent the quality and excellence of your business. Every button, menu or pop up should be thoughtfully implemented to enhance the experience, not detract from it.
What we specialise in
Shopify Specialisation
Shopify has a proprietary coding language called Liquid along with guidelines on maintaining site performance. It is important these are incorporated into optimisation work to ensure reliability and speed.
Code meets Creative
CRO is heavily data driven, but a certain amount of creativity is required to envision solutions to the problems that data highlights. We think of ourselves as bridging the gap between the coders and the creatives.
Intuitive backend
We utilise Shopify's powerful schema system to implement settings that are available via your stores backend. Allowing for A/B testing of elements without the need for further code changes.
Google Structured Data
Structured data helps Googles understand your products. As standard the Shopify element responsible for this may not include important information, providing an opportunity to increase conversions from organic search traffic.
Improve the experience, improve the engagement
CRO optimises all traffic. Whether a potential customer is visiting from social media, a dedicated advert or even word of mouth, a well refined site will have an impact on all of them. Our process utilises a variety of methods to ensure every aspect of your site is not only functioning as intended but also incorporates design and development improvements that increase flow and minimise pinch points.
As an outsider to your business we can offer a fresh set of eyes and uncover weaknesses that may not be apparent. Navigation restructuring, pop up timing and personalisation are just some of the implementations we may deploy to deliver a better user experience.
The decline in brick and mortar retail has lead the industry to reimagine itself as more of an experience provider than a transactional one. We believe the same is true for e-commerce. How customers engage with and navigate digital space will become a critical component of online retail moving forward.
