CRO.
CRO audits, A/B testing and AI-powered conversion optimisation. Convert more of your existing traffic into revenue.
Conversion rate optimisation (CRO) is the systematic process of increasing the percentage of website visitors who take a desired action. Unlike SEO which drives more traffic, CRO makes your existing traffic work harder. I combine nearly 30 years of SEO experience with AI-powered analysis to convert your visitors into customers.

What is Conversion Rate Optimisation?
Conversion rate optimisation is the practice of improving your website so a higher percentage of visitors complete a desired action. If 1,000 people visit your landing page and 20 complete the form, your conversion rate is 2 per cent. CRO aims to move that number to 3, 4 or 5 per cent without spending more on traffic.
- Quantitative analysis: GA4 funnel reports, goal tracking and drop-off identification
- Qualitative research: heatmaps, session recordings, scroll maps and surveys
- Hypothesis formation based on data patterns, not opinions
- Statistical significance testing to ensure results are real, not random
CRO and SEO: How They Work Together
CRO and SEO are not competing priorities. They are complementary disciplines that multiply each other's impact. SEO drives more qualified traffic to your site. CRO converts a higher percentage of that traffic into leads and revenue. If you invest in SEO without CRO, you are paying to fill a leaky bucket.
- Organic traffic conversion analysis: which landing pages convert best from search
- Search intent alignment: matching page content with what users actually searched for
- Core Web Vitals improvements that benefit both rankings and user experience
- Content optimisation for both featured snippets and conversion CTAs
AI-Powered Conversion Optimisation
AI transforms CRO from a slow, manual process into a continuous optimisation engine. I use AI for user behaviour analysis, test hypothesis generation and dynamic personalisation. Machine learning models analyse thousands of user sessions to identify patterns that human analysts miss.
- AI-driven user behaviour analysis: pattern recognition across thousands of sessions
- Automated test hypothesis generation based on conversion correlation data
- Dynamic content personalisation by traffic source, device and user behaviour
- Predictive conversion scoring to identify high-intent visitors in real-time
How Much Does CRO Cost?
A focused CRO audit with recommendations typically costs between £1,500 and £5,000 as a one-off project. An ongoing CRO programme with monthly testing, analysis and implementation ranges from £2,000 to £8,000 per month. CRO ROI is often the highest of any marketing investment because you are improving the return on traffic you already have.
- CRO audit: £1,500-£5,000 one-off project with prioritised recommendations
- Ongoing CRO programme: £2,000-£8,000/month with monthly testing and analysis
- ROI compounds: even small conversion improvements generate significant revenue
- No long-term contracts: prove value month by month with measurable results
Common questions about CRO.
What is conversion rate optimisation?
Conversion rate optimisation (CRO) is the systematic process of increasing the percentage of website visitors who take a desired action, whether that is making a purchase, completing a form, signing up for a trial or requesting a consultation. It combines user research, A/B testing, analytics and design improvements.
How does CRO work with SEO?
CRO and SEO are complementary disciplines. SEO drives more qualified traffic to your site. CRO converts a higher percentage of that traffic into leads and revenue. If you invest in SEO without CRO, you are paying to fill a leaky bucket. The smartest approach is to run both in parallel.

What tools are used for CRO?
CRO uses Google Analytics 4 for funnel analysis, heatmap tools like Hotjar or Microsoft Clarity for click and scroll data, session recording tools, and A/B testing platforms like Google Optimize, VWO or Optimizely.
How long does CRO take to show results?
Initial audit findings are typically delivered within 2-4 weeks. A/B test results depend on traffic volume: high-traffic pages can reach statistical significance in 1-2 weeks, while lower-traffic pages may need 4-8 weeks.
Do I need a lot of traffic for CRO to work?
You need sufficient traffic to reach statistical significance in A/B tests, typically at least 1,000 monthly conversions per page being tested. For lower-traffic sites, I focus on qualitative research like heatmaps, session recordings and user interviews.
