Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)

Definition

Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) is the process of improving your website, landing pages, and funnels to increase the percentage of visitors who complete a desired action—usually a purchase.
The core formula:
Conversion Rate = (Purchases / Website Visitors) x 100
CRO uses data, design, and psychology to remove friction and drive more revenue from the same traffic.

Purpose

Acquiring traffic is expensive. CRO makes every click count.By optimizing layouts, copy, product pages, and UX flows, brands can boost revenue without spending more on ads. It’s one of the highest-leverage growth tactics for e-commerce.Creative is the biggest performance lever in paid social. Testing turns it from guesswork into strategy.
Rather than relying on intuition or aesthetics alone, Ad Creative Testing uses platform data to guide design decisions. It’s how brands optimize media spend and maximize return.
