What is CRO?

Conversion Rate Optimization

These are improvements made to increase the rate of visitors to a website becoming customers or subscribers.

Overview

Conversion rate optimization is the art of using traffic to your site more efficiently. The aim is for visitors to click a button, fill out a form or make a purchase, rather than just looking at the site and leaving. At TreScout, we see this as constantly arranging your store's display to draw customers in.

Analogy: If only 1 in 100 people entering the door of a store makes purchases, it is like trying to increase this number to 5 by changing the store layout.
