However, CRO differs from SEO in that it aims at increasing the percentage of web traffic that converts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Our eCommerce store owner may use SEO strategies to get more website traffic to her landing page. However, increased website visibility does not always translate to more conversions.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The magic of more organic conversion happens when SEO and CRO strategies are combined.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This answers the question, &#8216;Why is conversion rate optimization important?&#8217;. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is not enough to have great strategies for increasing web traffic. You must also have strategies that can convert those visitors to leads generated and then those leads generated to paying customers, all at a reduced acquisition cost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we go on exploring conversion rate optimization (CRO) strategies, we must first understand what conversion rate is and how to calculate your eCommerce store conversion rate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Conversion_Rate_CVR\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><b>What is Conversion Rate (CVR)?<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/glossary\/conversion-rate\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conversion rate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is simply the percentage of website visitors that complete a desired action. This desired action may be to fill out a web form, make a purchase, or simply click a link.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Different pages of an eCommerce website have different calls to action that take web visitors further down the website conversion funnel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The home page seeks to get visitors to explore other pages, the product listing page would want users to &#8216;view more&#8217; about a product, while the product page elements work together to get users to &#8216;add to cart&#8217;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eCommerce store owners can use website analytics tools to track conversion on the different web pages. This is then used to calculate the conversion rate of a web page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To calculate the conversion rate of any web page, you use the formula below<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Conversion Rate:<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Number of people that take a specific action\/number of visitors)*100<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To calculate the total conversion rate of your website, divide the total number of conversions into your different web pages by the total number of visitors to your website. Then multiply by 100.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_a_Good_Conversion_Rate\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><b>What Is a Good Conversion Rate?<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.speedcommerce.com\/insights\/ecommerce-benchmarks-conversion-rates-by-industry-over-by-year\/#htoc-average-e-commerce-website-conversion-rates\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by Speed Commerce, the average conversion rate for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/best-ecommerce-stores\/\">eCommerce stores<\/a> ranges from 2% to 4%.

These conversion goals should then be reviewed from time to time and raised to meet up with or even exceed the average conversion rate of your industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is an example:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the current conversion rate of my product page is 0.5%, and I run an eCommerce store in the home decor industry, my conversion goal will be to raise the conversion rate of my product page to 1% within 6 months. If, after 6 months I can achieve this, I can then make another goal to improve conversion by another 0.5% in 6 months.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Setting conversion goals this way ensures that the growth of your eCommerce store is gradual but steady.

What is the average conversion rate for eCommerce?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The average conversion rate range for eCommerce is 2% to 4%. This varies depending on the industry. This global average range gives you a clue on how your eCommerce store is performing. Knowing this, you can set a conversion goal that allows you to improve on your current conversion rate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><b>2. Is conversion rate optimization important?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, conversion rate optimization is very important for businesses. This is because it helps business owners get the best out of their website traffic, driving more revenue at reduced acquisition and marketing costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><b>3. How often should I conduct A\/B testing on my eCommerce site?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For large eCommerce stores with the resources, A\/B or split testing can happen once every 1-2 months. However, for smaller eCommerce stores, A\/B testing can happen when a need is identified.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The test should run for about two weeks. This time is long enough for your test to reach statistical significance and short enough to prevent sample pollution.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><b>4. What are the best CRO tools for measuring conversion rate optimization (CRO) success?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To measure conversion rate optimization success, eCommerce store owners simply need to measure the conversion rate and determine if there was an increase from the last time. This involves measuring the key metrics we listed in the guide. Tools like<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/marketingplatform.google.com\/about\/analytics\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Google Analytics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotjar.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Hotjar<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/convertbox.com\/?gad_source=1&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiArKW-BhAzEiwAZhWsIGjCQRQKhfgIKUjYsIs8eKou7aJORBEY1C74efyRLLQb-p6xeqqAKhoC-uoQAvD_BwE&amp;affiliate=keyd\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ConvertBox<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> EngageBay<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can help you measure these metrics and determine CRO success.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><b>5. Can improving website speed significantly impact my conversion rates?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, it can. Thanks to technological advancements, users expect websites to load faster. According to a study by Portent, eCommerce stores with 1 1-second load time get 2.5x more conversion than those with 5 5-second load time. Walmart also recorded a 2% increase in conversion rate for every 1-second improvement in load time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><b>6. How do I use social proof effectively to increase conversions?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using social proof to effectively increase conversion involves strategically placing the social proof in your landing pages and product pages.
