    What is conversion rate optimization (CRO)?

    Reviewed by Taylor Moses, Co-Founder, Strategy & Web·

    Direct Answer

    CRO is the practice of getting more visitors to take a desired action (call, form, purchase) without spending more on traffic. It combines analytics, heatmaps, session recordings, A/B testing, and qualitative research to reduce friction. For service businesses, the highest-ROI CRO usually starts with form fields, mobile click-to-call, and page speed.

    CRO is getting more visitors to take action without spending more on traffic. Start with form fields, click-to-call, and page speed.

    Most service-business sites have 3–5 quick CRO wins worth 30–80% lift each. Low-hanging fruit dominates the program for the first 6 months.

    Run one A/B test at a time. Multiple simultaneous tests muddy attribution.
