Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)

What is Conversion Rate Optimization?

Conversion rate optimization (CRO) is the systematic process of optimizing your site or landing page experience based on website visitor behaviour to increase the percentage of visitors to a website that converts into customers. The CRO process involves understanding how users journey through your site, what actions they take, and what’s stopping them from completing your goals.

Simply Conversion rate optimization, or CRO, is the process of enhancing your website and content to boost conversions.

Benefits of CRO:

1. Improved customer insights

Conversion Rate Optimization can help you to better understand your target audience and find what language or messaging best speaks to their needs. Acquiring more people doesn’t increase your conversion if they’re not the right kind of people! So CRO looks at finding the right customers for your business.

Google Analytics 4 Vs Universal Analytics

October has been a great month for those in the Analytics domain with Google finally unleashing the truly cross-platform & machine learning based Google Analytics 4(previously App+Web).

AN INTRODUCTION TO GOOGLE ANALYTICS 4 (GA4)

Google recently announced one of the major updates in its analytics domain which has been in beta for over a year Google Analytics 4(previously App+Web). With the rapid increase in the number of new platforms be it apps or the IoT devices there has been a huge increase in the data source in analytics and a need to unify these streams within Google Analytics has always been a challenge.

Until recently, web analytics was different from apps in the sense that the dimension and metrics used for the reporting were atypical even though the end conversion(purchase, form fill or any other action) would be the same across the different platforms.

GA4 allows users to connect app and website data within one property, thereby unifying the interaction across devices and platforms to better comprehend the cross-platform customer journey that led to the conversion. GA4 with its cross-platform and predictive analytics capabilities is surely the next biggie in a cookie-less future in the biggest indicator being that GA4 is now the default property in Google Analytics accounts.
