Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)
Definition
What is Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)?
Conversion Rate Optimization is the ongoing practice of using research, behavioral data, and experiments to increase the share of visitors who complete a valuable action.
Business context
Why does it matter?
Effective CRO identifies friction in comprehension, trust, choice, and checkout. It prioritizes evidence-backed improvements instead of treating isolated visual tweaks as a growth strategy.
Decision prompts
Three questions to ask in practice
- 01
Which business outcome does this metric or practice represent?
- 02
Are data sources and attribution rules consistent?
- 03
What adjacent metric could be harmed while this one improves?
Understanding the term is the start. Making the tradeoff is the work.
