The Complete Guide to Conversion Rate Optimization

Today you’ll discover how we were able to optimize conversion rates by a whopping 50%.We are going to share actionable steps you can take to achieve the same results and destroy your competitors once and for all.

Let’s get started.

What Is Conversion Rate Optimization?

Conversion rate optimization is the process of optimizing your website for the highest conversion rate.

If done correctly, it can help you to:

• Boost sales
• Decrease acquisition costs
• Improve customer lifetime value

…and so much more.

The most common areas of a website for CRO are landing pages, the homepage, and pricing pages.

How to Calculate Conversion Rate?

Before you can start with the optimization, you need to calculate your current conversion rate so you have a baseline to build upon.

Here is a simple formula for calculating the conversion rate.

You can easily find these metrics inside Checkout Champ or just instantly look for a conversion rate without doing any calculations.

What Is the Average Conversion Rate?

The average conversion rate across all fourteen industries is just 2.9%.

But the best-performing websites have a conversion rate of around 11%. So if you’re not hitting that, there is room for improvement.

(even if you are, you can still make it better!)

The one thing to keep in mind is that higher-value products tend to have lower conversion rates.

Conversion Rate Optimization: The Most Effective Strategies

In this section, we’ll share our hands-on secrets that led us to a massive boost in conversion rate (and customer satisfaction too.)

You’ll also get actionable steps, so you apply these strategies to your business right away.

#1: Make Speed a Priority

Conversion rates are 3X higher for ecommerce sites that load in 1 second.

You have to make your website lightning-fast, or your customers will leave. You might think your site is fast but is that so?

Head over to PageSpeed Insights and check your loading speed.

Hopefully, the results do not look like the ones above.

Every second counts and can make or break your conversions. In fact, one-second delay in page loading time results in 7% loss of conversions.

There are many ways you can speed up your website loading time, such as.

• Lazy loading
• Minimizing JS
• Optimizing images

However, fixing all of these might still not get you the speed you need. Not to mention that the whole process of optimizing is tedious (and incredibly painful.)

And that’s why we created a drag-and-drop page builder that eliminates all of these issues for you. In fact, by using this, we were able to achieve a loading time of under 1 second. And that’s one of the main reasons why we were able to experience such a huge boost in conversions.

#2: Offer Upsells, Cross-Sells & Downsells

73% of marketers say that upsells and cross-sells increase their revenue by 30%.

That’s a crazy boost. These two work great because customers are already in a buying state of mind, which makes them more susceptible to your new offer.

If you can convince customers that for just a slightly higher price, they can get a lot better results, they might as well give it a shot.

And if they don’t or don’t want to continue with a purchase, you can offer a downsell.

The most common objection with buying products is price. If your customers are ready to buy, but they decide to back up at the last second, you have to act.

There is a very high chance you can still sell to them and save a conversion.

You just need to suggest a more reasonable offer.

We allow our customers to create one-click custom upsells to add an extra $20, $40, or $50 per order.

Or save a conversion with downsells.

In fact, that’s one of the main reasons we were able to achieve these incredible results with our customers.

And our customers love it!

Your business deserves the same results too.

#3: Leverage Urgency & FOMO

Countdown timers and limited-time offers create a sense of consequence and fear of missing out. The presence of the timer alone created an 8.6% lift in conversions.

You need to make customers decide as soon as possible and hit that order button.

(or you risk losing them to a competitor.)

There are a couple of ways you can add urgency to your product, such as:

• Limited stock
• Timely discounts
• Offering a bonus for a limited time

In fact, here are some of the best tools for countdown banners:

• Hextom
• Conversion Plus
• Ultimate Scarcity Pro

You can leverage them and make your offers irresistible to your customers.

Quick Tip: Make it believable and real; if customers know you’re faking it, it won’t have any effect. Can we add a few tools in Shopify and Woo that are highly rated for countdown banners?

#4: Recover Abandonment Purchases

The average cart abandonment rate across all industries is 70%. Fortunately, if you know what you’re doing, you can save a large amount of these customers.

There are a couple of reasons why customers abandon a purchase, such as:

• Slow delivery
• High extra costs
• Registration required

You can also recover some of these lost sales by using retargeting campaigns.

Fixing these issues can help you a lot, but there is still room for improvement and changes….

We’ve identified this opportunity to improve a conversion rate and created a CRM data capture feature for recovering these customers.

In essence, it captures the customer’s keystroke, not only clicks like other solutions.

That way, it collects 3X more customer data than any other platform on the market. That’s what helped us really get to the lost customers and further improve user experience.

#5: Add Testimonials

Testimonials can increase conversions on sales pages by 34%.

If a friend recommended a product you need, you’d probably buy it, right? Well, that’s the effect testimonials have on customers.

Customers must trust you to buy from your business.

If there is just a slight doubt in their mind about your products or credibility, they won’t convert. Therefore make sure to include testimonials on your sales pages.

Also, monitor your reviews online and what others say about you to keep your reputation high.

Negative reviews will lead to very poor conversion rates.
