8. CRO is the methodof
creating an experience fora
website or landing page
visitor with the goalof
increasing the percentageof
visitors that convertinto
customers.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_optimization

10. • Reason 1 : Not much has yet been done in
Pakistan Yet
• Reason 2: There is always room for
improvement.
• Reason 3: Paid advertising is only getting
more costly and competitive.
• Reason 4: Optimization is about getting more
of the right kind of customers.

11. • Reason 5: It’s essentially free.
• Reason 6: It lowers your customer acquisition
costs (CAC).
• Reason 7: CRO helps maximize profits.
• Not only that, but your profit is intimately tied to
your conversion rate. Because you aren’t paying
more to acquire these conversions, that profit
goes straight to your bottom line.

12. • Reason 8: It gives you more money to spend on
additional acquisition.
• Reason 9: It makes you more valuable to
affiliates and partners (Competitive Edge to sell
your product)
• Reason 10: CRO circumvents the limited
attention span of the average visitor…
• By giving them what they’re looking for sooner
(before they have a chance to find it somewhere
else).
• Reason 11: It can mean winner take all.

13. • Reason 12: CRO creates momentum.
It creates a powerful flywheel of momentum that
will increase your market share. The better your
conversion rate, the more traffic you can afford, the
more customers you get, and so on. You’re
dominating your market before you know it.
“It’s not just converting anyone. You are looking
for people who will love your product and help
your marketing efforts by telling everyone they
know how great you are.”

14. Is CRO For You?
• All Business's having online
presence.
• Web Masters who are
managing/running websites
for there self or clients.
• Service Provider
• Product Seller
• If you want to build
relationship with your
audience.
• FreeLancers (Can even apply
to proposals, your website
etc,)
• If you are doing re-marketing
for your business.
• If you are a start up
• If you are an SEO, SEM or
Digital Marketing Expert
• Or any sort of online presence,
you need to learn CRO.

on your page (or missing from
your page) that create
uncertainty in your customer’s
mind?
• 5. Distraction—What is the first
thing you see on the page?

purpose? What does the page
offer that is conflicting or off-
target?

visitors take action now? What
incentives, offers, tone, and
presentation will move them to
action immediately?
