Does Your Website Convert? Join Me at @Unbounce Roadtrip Toronto & Learn About CRO

By Robert Clarke | Conversion Rate Optimization, Convert, Website Optimization | Comments are Closed | 25 May, 2015 | 0

Doubling your website’s Conversion Rate has the same effect as doubling its traffic.

That’s the key message I tried to deliver a few weeks ago at a Silicon Halton event (slidedeck below).

A conversion is the action you want people to take on your website or landing page.

Conversions can be either “primary” or “secondary” and should speak to those at different stages of the buying cycle, for example:

Primary Conversion Goals
  • Call a number
  • Start a live chat
  • Get a quote
  • Request an appointment/call-back
  • Start a free trial
  • Make a purchase

Secondary Conversion Goals

  • Download a white paper
  • Subscribe to an email
  • Attend a webinar
  • Follow on Facebook/Twitter
  • Share or subscribe to blog

The purpose of any conversion is to get users to take action so you can engage them.

And most websites fail pretty miserably at this.

According to Hubspot, the average site wastes 75% of its traffic due to lack of persuasion or “sales-ability”.  In other words, for a lack of “conversion”.

And so many businesses either underspend or outright ignore conversion (also known as Conversion Rate Optimization, or CRO).

In fact, $92 is spent attracting visitors to a website for every $1 spent on converting them (Source: Redeye).

So How Do I Learn More About Optimizing My Website for Conversion?

There’s lots of great resources for learning about CRO.

A couple of my favourites include Unbounce, ContentVerve, Usability Geek, and Neuroscience Marketing.

Or, for those local to Toronto, there’s the upcoming Unbounce Conversion Roadtrip (note the special offer at bottom)…
