An Action-Oriented Conversion Optimization Agency

What can a CRO agency like WebFX do for my business?

If you’re curious about what exactly a CRO agency help you make more money, read on.

To give you an idea, here are a few strategies that you should look for when hiring a conversion rate optimization company:

• A/B testing capabilities
• Money-saving features
• Top-notch software
• Time-saving features
• Process-oriented strategy
• Monthly CRO reports

A/B test site elements

How can A/B testing help improve your website? It essentially puts two different versions of the same site element next to each other and determines what version gets better results.

When you work with a conversion rate optimization agency like WebFX that performs lots of A/B tests, you can rest assured that you are utilizing the best version of each site element, which means you’re set up to receive more conversions than ever before.

We’ll save you money

If you already have a marketing campaign in place, an agency like WebFX can help you make the most of your existing campaign without spending money to revamp it.

Often, if an element on your site, like a button or a landing page, isn’t driving conversions, it simply needs to be optimized. Very rarely is it necessary to reinvent the wheel — although some agencies will suggest that you do so, just to entice you to spend more money on their services.

At WebFX, we’ll run A/B tests as we talked about earlier in order to help you determine how to optimize your existing strategy in order to save money and drive more conversions.

We’ll use top-notch software

You might want to think twice about performing conversion optimization on your own. Although the principles are relatively simple, hiring a conversion rate optimization agency like WebFX to do the job ensures that your campaign is backed by industry-leading software.

WebFX conversion rate specialists will use heatmap software, A/B testing software, and even our proprietary software like VisitorRecorderFX to ensure that your website has all the features that entice conversions.

This IBM Watson-powered technology can help better your campaign by providing data that you wouldn’t otherwise have access to.

We’ll save you time

Do you have someone on your team that is familiar with conversion optimization? If not, you’ll likely spend a lot of time training them, or training yourself, to handle what WebFX can already do.

When you hire WebFX as your conversion rate optimization company, you’ll be able to free up your time to take care of your business in other ways and execute on other objectives.

Conversion rate optimization takes time but working with us will save you time, so you can focus on running your business.

We’ll implement a killer CRO process

Conversion rate specialists that work at WebFX know the ins and outs of conversion rate optimization. Although every business is different, we have a process in place that stays the same across all of our client campaigns.

Because of our process, you can rest assured that your conversion team at WebFX is making the most of every minute that they have to work on your campaign — and the process is allowing them to drive the greatest results for you.

Having a process means that we’ll also be able to keep you up to date with your campaign since we’re well aware of where your campaign is at in the CRO process.

We’ll provide custom data reports

A CRO agency like WebFX bases all of their decisions on data and analytics that they pull from tests that they’ve run on your site.

We’ll share this data with you so that you can fully understand the information behind our decisions.

For example, we’ll provide website conversion path tracking reports for your leads when you opt for the MarketingCloudFX suite, as well as site visitor reports, lead reports, traffic reports, and so much more. This information will not only help us craft the best campaign for you, but also give you peace of mind that your campaign is driving results.

In addition, we’ll analyze the results of the changes that they’ve implemented in order to show you progress on your campaign and monitor your SEO closely.

How to choose the right CRO agency for you

With so many conversion rate optimization agencies out there, it can be hard to find one that fits your business perfectly. Here are a few tips:

• Always talk to them on the phone: Talking on the phone is more important than you may think it is. Not only can talking on the phone allow you to ask all of your burning questions, but it also helps you get to know an agency’s personality and give you an idea of what it would be like to work together. If you only opt to contact an agency via a contact form, you don’t have a chance to get to know them on a more personal level before hiring them to be your conversion rate specialists.

• Always talk about the results they've driven: Conversions are a results-based metric, and in order to decide if an agency is right for you, it’s crucial that you know their track record. A truly amazing conversion optimization agency will be able to tell you the amazing results that they’ve driven for customers just like you.

• Consider how long they've been in the business: CRO takes a lot of testing to dial in on the perfect, most successful campaign for any given client. That’s why conversion agencies who have been in business longer tend to be a better fit. The longer they’ve been in the business, the more campaigns they’ve run — which means the more knowledge they’ve been able to pick up from previous campaigns.

• Determine your budget and stick with it: Nobody likes to set budgets, but it’s crucial that you decide on how much you’d like to spend on CRO and stick to it. Setting a budget early on in your search allows you to cross off any agency that is too expensive.

Why hire a CRO agency, anyway?

There are many benefits of performing CRO, and better yet, hiring a CRO agency to help you. These are three of the biggest impacts that CRO can have on your company’s success.

1. Increase revenue

When you hire a conversion rate optimization company, they can help you increase your company's revenue year over year.

CRO helps you identify opportunities to increase your conversions and revenue. Some of the changes you make will be designed to directly increase sales, while others can help you identify long-term strategies for increasing revenue over time.

For example, changing the location of a form on your website may earn you three extra leads each month. While that may not seem like much, it equates to 36 new leads each year. If your close rate on leads is 20%, and new customers spend an average of $10,000 that can amount to $72,000.

2. Outrank competitors

CRO agencies understand the importance of outranking your competitors, and they can help you do just that.

CRO doesn’t have a direct impact rankings or traffic, but testing elements on your website can reduce bounce rates and improve the amount of time visitors spend on your site. Since bounce rates are a ranking factor for Google, a CRO strategy can improve your rankings over time.

As you increase conversion rates, you may also see an increase in website traffic and social media activity.

3. Learn more about visitors

Finally, a CRO agency can help you learn more about the people who visit your website. For example, do certain offers and calls to action appeal to them particularly well? Would they like to see a contact form right away or wait until later?

CRO can reveal valuable insights about your target audience. And it provides you with hard data about your customers’ preferences. Instead of “thinking” that your visitors prefer certain elements, CRO allows you to “know.”

This information allows you to make smarter decisions, and you can use it to tailor your communication and offerings to best resonate with customers.

Bonus: 3 CRO tips for your website

Here are three CRO tests you can implement on your website to maximize your marketing spend and increase conversions.

1. Conduct A/B tests

A/B tests allow you to take elements of your website or pages, make variations of them, and test performance of the variations against the original. Then, if the one of the variations performs better or leads to more conversions, you can permanently implement the change.

For example, you could test different colors for your call to action (CTA) buttons, or different images on your homepage. These simple A/B tests can help you identify changes that have a significant impact on your overall success.

To perform A/B tests, you’ll need a platform that divides incoming traffic between your variations to compare user metrics and determine a winner. Most people use Google Analytics Experiments or a testing software like Visual Website Optimizer.

2. Optimize your CTAs

If your website attracts consistent traffic, but you have poor conversion rates, you can start by investigating your CTAs. This is a great way to practice CRO since it’s simple and measurable.

A CTA is any element on your site that encourages visitors to take action. For example, they might be buttons that invite people to “buy now!”, links to learn more, or opt-in forms for free downloads.

When optimizing your CTAs, it’s important to consider three things.

• CTA copy: Typically, CTA copy that instructs visitors to take a certain action performs better than general CTA copy. This means that if most of your CTAs include generic commands like “Click Here,” “Learn More,” or “Download Now,” you can experiment with adding more specific language. It’s also helpful to frame your CTAs as benefits. So if you want people to sign up for a download about email marketing, you could test a CTA like “Learn how to grow your email list!” instead of the generic “Download Now.”
• CTA visuals: The visual element of your CTAs is what grabs visitors’ attention in the first place. And you can test many different aspects from the color of your buttons to CSS animation and images. When designing your CTAs, you can test various combinations of colors, fonts, and sizes to maximize conversions on your site.
• CTA placement: Finally, the location of your CTAs can impact conversions. Are all of your CTAs at the bottom of your pages? Try adding a large CTA above the fold and one at the bottom of the page. You can also try implementing CTAs throughout your website copy. Just be careful that you don’t bombard visitors with CTAs encouraging them to buy every two sentences, or they might get annoyed or overwhelmed and leave your site.

3. Optimize your headlines

In addition to CTAs, you can also test and optimize your headlines.

CTAs encourage people to take an action at the end of the sales process, headlines invite people to visit your site from search results in the first place. With the right headlines, you can grab browsers’ attention and get more people on your website.

Here are some tips for improving your headlines to increase conversions:

1. Add numbers: Adding numbers to your headlines is a great way to get readers to pay attention to your content, and it can improve click through rates. In addition, adding numbers to headlines shows readers that your articles are definitive and actionable instead of something more generic. Would you rather read “7 Ways to Improve Your CRO” or “CRO Tips”? Go ahead and test it out. See what works for you!
2. Use negative words: According to Outbrain, adding negative words like “never” and “worst” result in higher click rates. For example, you could have a headline that reads “5 Things to Never Feed Your Dog” or “Worst Date Ideas.” The next time you’re writing a headline, try giving it a negative spin, and see what happens.
3. Test other elements: When it comes to headlines, there are many elements you can test. Consider experimenting with headline length, humor (depending on your industry), level of sensationalism, and other elements to determine what has the greatest impact on engagement rates.
