Conversion Rate Optimization 101: 
Converting Visitors in to Buyers 
What? Why? How?
Conversion Rate Optimization is…….. 
“a method of continuous 
improvement of the website 
experience with an objective of 
converting visitors into buyers.”
Why Conversion Rate Optimization?
Because…….
Because…. 
Avg CPC = 30 
It Reduces Cost of user acquisition. 
Traffic X Conversion Rate = No of Customers 
10000 X 1% = 100 
To create the same number of customers 
at a conversion rate of 2% 
5000 X 2% = 100 
At Average CPC of 30 INR CAC in first case 3000 
while for the second case is 1500.
Because……. 
• It directly impacts the top line. 
Traffic X Conversion Rate = No of Customers 
10000 X 1% = 100 
To create the same number of customers 
at a conversion rate of 2% 
10000 X 2% = 200 
100 More Customers without improving 
traffic.
Because…. 
Driving traffic to your site will only get more 
expensive.
Because….. 
Your competitor is not doing it. 
Your competitor is interested in beating you in traffic 
as he doesn’t know your conversion rate. 
You kill him silently by improving your site conversion 
rate.
