Doing a CRO and how it can lead to the attainment of your website’s goals
You might be wondering, what kinds of conversion are there? Unlike popular knowledge, conversion doesn’t necessarily have to be in the form of a purchase. To put it simply, conversion is when the traffic from your effective SEO, paid search, social or content strategy gets transformed into something you hold of value. This conversion can either be:
- an email sign-up
- the creation of an account
- the completion of a survey
- an app download
- other similar forms of client interaction
This means a conversion is the successful completion of the kind of interaction you want with a potential client. The one that reveals the percentage of your website’s total traffic and success in completing the specific goals you have set is called the Conversion Rate (CR).
