Conversion Rate Optimisation And Your Business

Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) is a process in which the layout of your website is custom-designed for visitors to complete an action. This process is making sure that possible customers are not simply visiting – but also engaging with your website. An optimised website encourages more interaction between your business and your online visitors.  This process leads to more people finding the service they need and more money for your business. Win, win for everyone – right? WHAT IS THE AIM OF CRO? A common misunderstanding of a ‘converted’ visitor is one who has completed a transaction. While this may sometimes be the case – it is not the only way in which a visitor can ‘convert’. It is important to decide the action […]
