3. What is Conversion Rate Optimization
• It is the process of optimizing your landing pages and overall website
design to increase the number of visitors being converted.
• It can be used to improve any element on your website that’s important
for your business and it is often called key performance indicators
(KPIs)–that you’re trying to improve.
• Conversion Rate Optimization is abbreviated as CRO
• The conversion rate is calculated by the percentage of visitors actually
clicking on the call-to action that might be present on the landing page.
• Conversion-Rate = Number of Visitors Who Performed Desired Action /
Total Number of Visitors
4. Types of Testing for CRO
• There are two types of testing used in conversion rate optimization; one
is A/B testing and other is multivariate testing.
• In an A/B or split test there are two versions of a web page, version A
and version B. Version A is usually the control page, or the existing page
and version B is the alternative treatment or the challenger.

• The traffic is randomly split (50/50 although you can vary the split
percentage) half of the traffic sees version A and the other half sees
version B until each version has enough traffic and enough conversions
for the test to be statistically valid and a wining version to be declared.
• In a Multivariate test there are a combination of variables being tested.
Traffic is also split between the different versions in this type of test as
well.
• Let’s say you have 4 different headlines your testing and 2 different
images and 5 different calls to action buttons on a single page.
• Using a Multivariate test, this would generate 24 different combinations
or treatments. 4 x 2 x 5 = 40 (4 headlines x 2 images x 5 buttons) with
each treatment a visitor would see only one combination of elements.
• Every possible combination (40) would be included in the test.
6. Ways to Increase CRO
• For Increasing CRO there are different ways and it follow as:
Test your landing page design: Conduct testing to find the right
layout that push the highest percentage of site visitors to fill out your
form, call in, or otherwise convert into actual buyer.

landing page of website should be optimize so that visitors do not
fickle.
Optimize the heading or sub-heading: Heading should be catchy
and in proper location.
Optimize button text: Location of button should be proper because it
is very important for call-to –action.
Testing call-to-action: Test different calls to action and track which
one performs better
