What is conversion rate optimisation (CRO)?
Conversion rate optimisation (CRO) means raising the share of website visitors who become customers. They may also complete the action you want. Done properly, it can lift an eCommerce store’s sales.
Conversion rate optimisation strategies
Speed
If your site takes more than a couple of seconds to load, you risk losing customers. Make sure your website’s speed is decent. Optimise the videos and images on your product pages properly. An eCommerce marketing agency can help with this.
Product page
Most people now shop online, so think like a customer when you design product pages. Show an HD image of the product from several angles, so the shopper can picture it. Add detailed product information, reviews and a place for questions.
SEO
Use relevant keywords in your store’s content so search engines can rank it higher. That brings more traffic and more conversions. Do on-page and off-page SEO (search engine optimisation) work and upload quality content. An eCommerce digital marketing agency can help with this.
Google Search Central lists Largest Contentful Paint, or LCP, as a measure of loading performance. It says to aim for the LCP to happen within the first 2.5 seconds of the page starting to load.
Videos for complex products
If buyers may be confused about how a product works, a single video can clear it up. A short demo lets customers see the product in use. If you want to make an impact, include videos.
Google says its systems aim to put the most helpful content first. Google Search Central asks you to write for people first, not to change search rankings. Ask whether your target visitors would find the content useful if they came straight to you.
Shopify Help says media such as video and 3D models on a product page can make shoppers feel more sure about a product. It says this can mean a better experience and more sales. Your store theme must support videos and 3D models for them to show.
Shopify Help explains predictive search. It shows suggested search words and products while a shopper types. This helps shoppers narrow their search without going to a separate results page.
Better internal search
If your site search does not work well, customers will leave. When shoppers can find what they want easily, conversion rates go up. Aim for a smooth, easy experience. If you would like a team to make these changes on your store, see our ecommerce marketing service.
