CRO agency FAQs

What is a CRO agency?

A conversion rate optimization agency, otherwise known as a CRO agency, is a marketing agency whose primary purpose is to improve your website’s conversion rate. 

For example, maybe you run an ecommerce website and you’re looking to increase the number of orders you receive through your website each month. Using a range of techniques – such as UX research and a/b testing – a CRO agency like ours will be able to progressively optimize your website to increase the number of orders you receive month-on-month. (If you’d like to see an example of this kind of CRO, take a look at the work we did with Clarks and Buyagift).

Alternatively, maybe you run a media website and you’re looking to increase engagement and retention rates on your platform. Using advanced CRO techniques, an agency like ours will be able to progressively optimise your website to generate consistent uplifts in these metrics. (In fact, this is the exact kind of work we’ve done with The Times and The Guardian).

What does a CRO agency do?

As discussed in the answer above, CRO agencies are responsible for improving a website’s conversion rate, but how they achieve this can vary quite widely from one agency to the next.   Having said this, most data-driven CRO processes share a number of commonalities:
  1. Using a variety of research methods – including competitor analyses, data analytics, UX research, user testing, heuristic reviews, and others – CRO teams attempt to diagnose the issues that are limiting the number of conversions you receive on your website. 
  2. Once these issues have been diagnosed, CRO teams will then ideate, design, and develop solutions that are geared towards solving these issues. 
  3. Without testing, it’s impossible to know which solutions are going to be successful. That’s why all serious CRO programs place a/b testing at the heart of their process. By testing the solutions developed in the previous stage, you can gain a scientific understanding of precisely what works on your website and what doesn’t.
  4. With the information and insights gleaned from a/b testing, your CRO team will then be able to develop further a/b test concepts and flesh out an experiment roadmap that deliver results long into the future. 

Why should you hire a CRO agency?

Investment in a good CRO agency will often provide a stronger return on investment than any other kind of marketing or product spend.

For example, we were able to provide an 18x ROI for Gousto (case study here), we tripled Buyagift’s revenue target with only our first experiment (case study here) and we helped Shaw Academy increase their revenue by 500% (case study here). 

These results are far from out of the ordinary. 

In fact, we’ve even worked with clients who have had to temporarily suspend their CRO programs because their warehouses couldn’t handle the increase in demand generated by our work. 

How does this work? To oversimplify things somewhat,

Traffic x conversion rate = revenue

If you increase your conversion rate, you improve the efficiency of all of your marketing channels. Your Google ads become more effective, as do your Facebook ads, your Linkedin ads, your organic traffic, your direct traffic, etc. 

By investing in a CRO agency, you are effectively improving the performance of every other channel at the same time.

What differentiates Conversion from its competitors?

While many agencies include CRO as one service among many that they offer, we’ve made the conscious decision to put all of our efforts exclusively into CRO.   This specialization, paired with our focus on continuous R&D, has allowed us to develop a number of game-changing, value-adding innovations that put us far ahead of our competition:
  • We’ve implemented a system for storing and categorizing experiments that allows us to draw upon past experiment results to inspire and inform current programs.
  • We’ve developed an approach to behavioral science that combines eye-tracking and biofeedback – among other techniques – to unearth profound insights about your users’ motivations.
  • We’ve evolved a mixed-methods approach to CRO that blends the qualitative depth of UX research with the scientific rigor of a/b testing.
  • We’ve developed and optimized frameworks that allow us to take a structured, iterative approach to CRO that delivers compounding results with startling consistency.
  • We’ve automated many of our processes, allowing our team to spend more of their time focussing on what matters – the success of your program.
Combined, these innovations are allowing us to hit targets that only a couple of years ago would have seemed unthinkable.

How quickly can Conversion generate a positive return on your investment?

Though this can vary a little from one program to the next, we’re typically able to achieve a positive ROI for our clients within the first 12 weeks of a program’s start date.

Can Conversion work effectively alongside your internal CRO & product teams?

Absolutely. We regularly work alongside our clients’ internal teams to help maximize the impact of their existing experimentation programs. In fact, we often find that the synergies arising from this kind of collaborative effort allow us to achieve some of our best results.

Should you hire an agency or build out your own in-house team?

Deciding whether to hire a CRO agency or to build out an in-house team is a complex and nuanced problem. To help you solve it, we decided to interview our consultants, many of whom have worked in both settings, to try and give an honest an impartial comparison of the two approaches.
