Conversion Rate Optimisation campaigns

Service Overview

Why don’t they just convert?

A phrase that can be said by both an ultra-religious leader and a website owner in despair. Yes, why don’t they tho? Well, we don’t care about the religious leader, but if you are a website owner, you need to understand your users and identify friction points in their journey towards conversion.

Conversion rate optimization (CRO) is the practice of increasing the percentage of users who perform a desired action on a website. Desired actions can include purchasing a product, clicking ‘add to cart’, signing up for a service, filling out a form, or making a phone call. What’s the point of running Google Ads, Social Media Ads, and newsletter campaigns if they’re just sending users to your website to peek in and bounce right back out?

 

The CRO process involves understanding how users move through your site, what actions they take, and what’s stopping them from completing not theirs, but your goals. Not unlike a religious leader, you need your audience to be faithful and loyal to you, trust you, and do what you are asking them to do, namely, buy your product (again: not unlike a religious leader).

CRO is a highly valuable, cross-disciplined activity, involving data analysis, design changes and technical implementation. Amen.

Benefits of CRO

Get better control over how your customers interact with your website and the steps they take toward conversion.

  • Higher profits

    If more of your customers are making it to your conversion pages, you pay the same amount to attract customers, but raise the number of actual buyers. This means only one thing: higher profits and Return On Ad Spend (ROAS).

  • Increased traffic

    Higher conversion rates mean customers are finding it easy to navigate your site and head towards a desired conversion. Higher converting visitors spend more time on your site, leave more positive reviews and leave as satisfied customers, sharing their positive experience with others, therefore increasing traffic on your website.

  • Customer-centric decisions

    Filter any proposed changes through the eyes of your customers, not the preferences of your web designer or your own preferences. Customer-centric decisions about design, copy or ad placement have a better chance of increasing your conversion rate.

Some common CRO tactics

It is always important to have a client-centred approach when performing a CRO campaign, in order to:

Quantitative tools to uncover what

Quantitative tools allow you to collect quantitative (numerical) data, to track what is happening on your website. They include:

  • General analytics tools that track website traffic (e.g. Google Analytics).
  • Website heat map tools that aggregate the number of clicks, scrolls and movement on a page (e.g. hotJar, crazyEgg).
  • Funnel tools that measure when visitors drop off from a sales funnel.
  • Form analysis tools that track form submissions.
  • Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) tools that measure customer satisfaction, on a scale from 1 to 10.
  • Tools that use the Net Promoter System to measure the likelihood of people recommending your website/product to someone else, on a scale from 0 to 10.

Qualitative tools to uncover why

Qualitative tools help you collect qualitative (non-numerical) data, to learn why your website visitors behave in a certain way. They include:

  • Website feedback tools (on-page and external link surveys), where visitors are asked questions about their experience.
  • Website session recording/replay tools that show how individual users navigate through your website.
  • Usability testing tools, where a panel of potential or current customers can voice their thoughts and opinions on your website.
  • Online reviews, where you can read more about people’s experience of your brand and product.

Tools to test and measure

There are specific tools to test changes and measure improvements, then make necessary changes and report on them, to make sure that the conversion optimization efforts are in the right direction. They include:

  • A/B testing tools that help you test different variations of a page, to find the best performer (recommended for high-traffic sites), so you can be certain your results are statistically valid.
  • Website heat map and session recording tools that allow you to compare different variations of a page and the behaviour on it.
  • Conversion-tracking analytics tools that track and monitor conversions.
  • Website feedback tools (like visual feedback widgets or NPS dashboards) that help you collect qualitative feedback and quantify it, so you can compare the before/after response to any change you made.

Frequently Asked Questions

All your questions, answered.

  • What is CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization) and how does it work?

    CRO is what turns your website from a digital brochure into a sales machine. It’s all about

    fine-tuning your pages, forms, CTAs, and flows so that more visitors actually convert—into leads, customers, subscribers, bookings, you name it. How does it work? With data, testing, and a pinch of psychology. We test different variations of your content (A/B testing), track how users behave (with tools like Crazy Egg), and make strategic tweaks based on what actually works—not just what looks nice in a pitch deck.

  • Why is Conversion Rate Optimization important for businesses?

    Because getting more traffic is expensive. But converting more of the traffic you already have? That’s ROI gold. With CRO, you squeeze more value from your existing visitors—meaning better performance without spending extra on ads. If you’re paying to get people through the door, shouldn’t the door be working properly? CRO is how you fix the leaky funnel and stop throwing euros into the void.

  • What are the best tools for CRO?

    CRO isn’t a guessing game—it’s a data-driven discipline. And to do it right, you need the right toolbox. Here are the essentials:

    • Crazy Egg – For heatmaps, session recordings, and “aha!” moments when you realise no one clicks your CTA because it’s hiding behind a pop-up.
    • Google Analytics 4 (GA4) – To understand where people come from, what they do, and where they drop off. Bonus: GA4 funnels are finally useful.
    • HubSpot – Not just for CRM. Use it for A/B testing, smart CTAs, forms, lead flows, and behavior-based automations.
    • Surveys (like Typeform or HubSpot Feedback) – Because sometimes, the best way to find out what’s wrong with your site is to ask.

    At Double Dot, we use a blend of these tools depending on the project. But here’s the real secret: tools don’t optimize conversions—people with a plan do. We bring the strategy, the experiments, and the obsessive dashboards. You just sit back and watch the numbers go up.

  • What CRO tactics increase sales without more traffic?

    Start with the basics: shorten your forms, make your CTA buttons louder (and smarter), rework your headlines, and kill anything that looks like 2005. Add an exit-intent popup (yes, they still work), use urgency-based language, and make sure your mobile experience isn’t a tragic mess. And guess what? These changes alone can boost your conversions by 20% or more—without spending a single extra cent on traffic.

  • How do I start a CRO strategy?

    Step one: stop guessing.

    Step two: get data. A good CRO strategy starts with an audit—heatmaps, funnel analysis, bounce rates, scroll patterns, rage clicks (yes, that’s a thing). From there, we form hypotheses (like “What if we removed half this form?”), run A/B or multivariate tests, and double down on what works. At Double Dot, we guide you through all of this—so you’re not just “doing CRO,” you’re doing it with intent.

  • What is a good conversion rate benchmark?

    Ah, the million-euro question. A “good” conversion rate depends on your industry, product, and funnel. But as a rough guide:

    • E-commerce: 2–4% is decent, 5%+ is strong
    • Lead gen (B2B): 5–10% is solid
    • Landing pages: 10–25% is achievable with proper CRO

    The real goal? Beat your current numbers consistently. Benchmarks are cute, but progress is what counts.

  • CRO vs SEO – what’s the difference?

    SEO brings people to your site, CRO gets them to do something once they’re there. SEO is traffic; CRO is action.

    You can have the best rankings in the world, but if your site converts like a potato, what’s the point? The best strategies combine both: drive traffic and make sure it converts.

  • How long does it take to see CRO results?

    It depends on your traffic volume and the complexity of your site—but most clients see early wins within 2–4 weeks of implementing basic changes. For A/B testing and full-funnel optimization, you’re looking at 8–12 weeks for substantial data-driven improvements. CRO isn’t magic, but it’s methodical—and when done right, it compounds.

  • Can CRO work for small businesses?

    Yes. In fact, small businesses often benefit the most—because every lead counts. If you only get 1,000 visits a month, turning 2% into 4% literally doubles your conversions. You don’t need massive traffic to make CRO worth it—you just need the right moves. We help small businesses punch above their weight without bloating their budget.

  • Does Double Dot offer CRO services?

    Absolutely. CRO is baked into how we think. We offer full-service conversion optimization: from audits and hypothesis-building to A/B testing, heatmap analysis, mobile UX improvements, and reporting. Whether you’re using HubSpot or not, we help you turn browsers into buyers—consistently, measurably, and creatively.

  • How much does a CRO campaign with Double Dot cost?

    Depends on your needs. We offer flexible CRO packages—from one-off audits with a list of actionable improvements, to full 3-month optimization cycles with testing, reporting, and implementation. Pricing varies based on traffic volume, number of landing pages, and how deep you want to go. Get in touch, we’ll send you a proposal that makes sense (and money).

  • Can CRO work on mobile sites and landing pages?

    Absolutely—and it should. Mobile traffic often makes up 60–80% of visits, yet most landing pages still treat it like an afterthought. We run mobile-specific tests, track tap zones, adjust button sizes, and simplify form flows. Because if your mobile UX sucks, your conversions probably do too.
