Conversion Rate Optimization
Conversion Rate Optimization Services
I run a funnel audit first, then test the hypothesis it points to.
Conversion Rate Optimization Services Start With Your ZIP
Here, that means testing what changes a visitor's mind. A funnel audit comes first, then a stated hypothesis. I measure the test and give you a straight read. Give me your ZIP and I'll tell you what's realistic first.

What it means
What Conversion Rate Optimization Services Means When It's Measured, Not Guessed
I test each change against the page that's live now before anything replaces it.
- You get a funnel audit that shows the exact step where visitors drop off.
- Before each test I write down a hypothesis that the result could prove wrong.
- I split A/B when traffic supports it, and run sequential tests when it doesn't.
- The winner only ships once it beats what's live.
I moved the phone number on the ZIP form above to a later step, and two weeks of split traffic picked the shorter screen in my marketing analytics services dashboard.
What's included
What's Included in CRO Services
Engagements include the work described below.
Funnel Audit and Drop-Off Mapping
I map the step or click where a visitor stalls before I test anything.
A Hypothesis for Every Test
I write the reason down before each test, like the ZIP form that asked for a phone number too early.
The Test Itself, Run Correctly
Traffic decides the method. An A/B split runs when there's enough to split cleanly, or a sequential test runs instead, matched to the same time-of-week pattern.
The Read, and a Straight Report Either Way
I read each test by its statistical confidence, and I report a losing test straight.
Landing Page and Form Review
I review the page and form where your traffic lands for length and question order, and I flag anything above the fold that costs you conversions.
Tracking and Attribution Setup
Numbers behind a test have to hold up before it means anything. So the tracking gets set up, or confirmed, before a result counts.
Monthly Test Report
Reports name what won and what's queued next, since testing never finishes and stays a running list ranked by what's likely to move the number.
The process
How I Deliver CRO, Step by Step
One step only works once the step before it is done.
- I run a funnel audit using your analytics data to find where visitors drop off.
- I rank the hypothesis list by likely impact, never by which one's easiest to build.
- I build the test to prove or disprove one hypothesis, never a redesign wearing a test's name.
- I run it to actual statistical significance, not a preset number of days on a calendar.
- I write up the plain-language read: what won, what lost, and why.
- I ship the winner, and I retire the loser with a note on what I learned.
- I send a monthly report on what ran, what moved the number, and what's queued next.
Where I draw the line
What CRO Does Not Include
Names for this work vary, CRO services or CRO agency among them. Here's what's included, and what isn't.
No Test I Can't Explain
I won't ship a button-color guess as a test unless I can explain the reason for it before it runs.
No Guaranteed Lift
No increase gets promised before a test runs. What ships is a straight test, scored identically every time.
Not a From-Scratch Landing Page Build
Testing an existing page is this service. Designing a brand-new page for a campaign is landing page design, a related, separate service I'll point you to.
Not a Full Website Redesign
I'd rather test one page, one form or one step at a time against your data than change the whole site's architecture at once.
No Invented Numbers
I don't publish a client's before-and-after lift as a case study with the name filed off, so a winning test shows up in your own report.
Doesn't Replace Traffic Generation
This improves what happens to traffic you already have; it doesn't create new traffic. Too few visitors, not too few conversions? Lead generation services is the fix.
Who this is for
Who the Work Is for, and What Changes Either Way
You already have traffic that isn't turning into calls, and that's who this work fits.
- The first week goes to reading your data, and I don't change a single pixel.
- By the end of month one you usually have a finished test and an answer.
- Once a test wins, I use it as next month's baseline and add to the list.
- A slow page loses visitors before a test even gets the chance to run.
Week one, I pull whatever analytics data exists and run the funnel audit before touching a single pixel. By the end of it, you'll know which step is losing the most people. It's the same rigor I've brought to the SEO and web design work I've done since 1998, and, at least in my experience, a page tested beats a page redesigned on a hunch, every time. If a page on your site has been quietly losing visitors, tell me which one, and I'll show you the opening move I'd make on it.

Frequently Asked Questions
These only live on this page. If yours isn't here, ask me below.
What Conversion Rate Optimization Means
What Is CRO, in Plain Terms?
CRO means testing what gets a visitor to take the next step, a call, a form, a booked appointment, instead of redesigning a page on a guess about what should work better. Every change starts as a hypothesis, gets tested against what's live now, and only replaces the original once the numbers say it won.
What's the Difference Between CRO Services and Lead Generation Services?
Lead generation builds and runs the whole funnel: traffic, capture, follow-up. Conversion rate optimization tests and improves one piece of what's already running, the page, the form, the offer. So no traffic yet? Start with lead generation. Traffic's arriving and too much of it leaves without converting? That's this.
Does Conversion Rate Optimization Replace SEO or PPC, or Work Alongside Them?
It works alongside them, because SEO and PPC bring the visitor to the page and I work on what happens once they're there.
What Counts as a Conversion If I Don't Sell Products Directly Online?
Whatever the actual next step is for your business: a phone call, a form submission, a booked estimate, a quote request. I define the conversion event with you before anything gets tested, so the number we're optimizing, at least the way I see it, is the one that matters to your business, not a generic default.
Is a CRO Agency Different From a CRO Consultant, or Does the Label Matter?
You get the same person on the account either way, which matters more than the label on the door. Both describe someone doing this specific testing work instead of general marketing, and what matters is whether every change ships as a test with a hypothesis behind it. I work under my own name, so that's who you get, whichever word you searched.
The Audit, the Hypothesis, and the Test
What Happens During a Conversion Rate Optimization Audit?
I map your analytics data to find exactly where visitors drop off: which step of a form, which paragraph, which click that never happens. That map becomes the prioritized list of what to test first, ranked by how much fixing it is likely to move the number.

What Is a Hypothesis in Conversion Optimization, and Why Does It Matter?
A hypothesis is a falsifiable, stated reason for a change. One was a form asking for a phone number too early.
Can You Run an A/B Test If My Site Doesn't Get Much Traffic?
Your low-traffic pages just get a different method: a sequential test, measuring a change against the same page's own past performance, matched to the same time-of-week pattern. That beats splitting thin traffic two ways and waiting months for either version to mean anything.
How Long Does a Conversion Rate Optimization Test Need to Run Before It Means Anything?
As long as it takes to reach actual statistical confidence, not a fixed number of days. A high-traffic page might get there in a week. A low-traffic page needs longer. So I'll give you an estimate once I've seen your traffic, not a generic number before I know what I'm working with.
What Tools Do You Use to Test and Measure Conversions?
Tracking already on the site gets confirmed and cleaned up first. The tool matters less than whether the read behind it holds up.
Does Page Speed Affect How a Conversion Test Reads?
Yes, a slow page loses visitors before a test runs, so I check load speed before I trust a result that may only reflect a faster week.
Results, Reporting, and What Happens Next
How Much Can Conversion Rate Optimization Improve My Results?
I won't hand you a number before running the test. A tested page beats a redesigned-on-a-hunch page, every time.
What Happens If a Test Doesn't Win, Do I Still Pay for It?
A losing test still counts, because it rules out a hypothesis and I put it in your report straight, with what I'd try next.
Is Conversion Rate Optimization the Same as Redesigning My Whole Website?
Your whole site's architecture and design get touched in a full redesign. CRO works differently: it tests one page, one form, one step at a time, against actual data, and only expands what's proven to work.
How Often Should Conversion Rate Optimization Testing Happen?
As an ongoing practice, not a one-time project. Once the current hypothesis list is worked through, the next round comes from that same month's data. A page tested once still has more to learn from visitor behavior.
Do You Test Mobile and Desktop as One Experience, or Separately?
I test them separately when the data shows visitors behave differently, because a form that works on a laptop can fail on a phone.
What's Usually the First Thing You Test on a New Engagement?
Whatever the funnel audit shows is losing the most people, almost always a specific step in a form, not the whole page. Starting with the biggest, clearest drop-off point gets you an answer fastest, instead of spending the first month testing something small because it was easy to build.
