Conversion Rate Optimization
Improving the percentage of visitors who act, using evidence rather than opinion.
What is conversion rate optimization?
Conversion rate optimisation is systematically improving the share of visitors who complete a desired action. It works by diagnosing where people drop out, forming a hypothesis about why, changing one thing, and measuring the result. It is a research and testing discipline rather than a collection of layout tricks.
The problem this solves
Most conversion advice is a list of generic tactics. Applied without diagnosis they change things at random, and without enough traffic to measure, nobody can tell whether anything improved.
Signs this applies to you
- Traffic is adequate but enquiries are not.
- Visitors reach the form and do not submit it.
- Design changes are argued about on opinion.
- Tests are called after a few days on tiny samples.
How we approach it
- Find the drop-off points with analytics and session recordings.
- Understand why through user feedback rather than assumption.
- Prioritise by expected impact and implementation effort.
- Test where traffic supports it; implement directly where it does not.
- Run tests to adequate sample size rather than to a deadline.
- Document what was learned, including what failed.

Conversion Rate Optimization — frequently asked questions
Enough conversions, not enough visitors. With few conversions per month, direct improvement based on diagnosis beats A/B testing you cannot resolve.
Until it reaches the sample size planned beforehand, covering full weekly cycles. Stopping early on a promising result is the most common way to reach a false conclusion.
Clarity of offer, removal of form friction, and page speed. Colour and button-copy changes are usually marginal by comparison.
