Answer: a conversion rate optimization audit!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thegood.com\/insights\/cro-audit-optimization-process\/#h-what-is-a-conversion-rate-optimization-audit\">Thegood.com<\/a> says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>With conversion audits, you force yourself to step outside of the jar and see your customer\u2019s purchasing experience for what it truly is, not what you\u2019ve been hoping to create over the last few months or years.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>An audit is a deep look at your conversion rate optimization that enables you to pick it apart and put it back together to make it the best it can be. Asking qualitative and quantitative questions will provide you with answers that can boost your website\u2019s efficiency in converting prospects to clients.<\/p>\n<p>New to conversion rate optimization? Here\u2019s an informative video to help you out from Neil Patel:<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"The Anatomy Of A High Converting Landing Page | Conversion Rate Optimization Tips\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hcPxMuxh5Tc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Quick Takeaways:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><em>Conversion rate is the ultimate metric when evaluating your overall <a href=\"https:\/\/marketinginsidergroup.com\/content-marketing\/how-to-define-and-measure-the-roi-of-content-marketing\/\">return on investment (ROI)<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><em>Auditing your efforts and figuring out where your strengths and weaknesses are will help you build a better website overall<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><em>Setting an effective call to action (CTA) is the perfect ending to your content and can dramatically increase your conversion rate<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But how do you know when it\u2019s the right time to perform a CRO audit? Setting deadlines based on overall conversion progress is a good way to start. For example, you might not audit until you\u2019ve hit 500 website conversions or a certain number of impressions.<\/p>\n<p>These goals are different for every business, so decide what success looks like to you before scheduling your conversion rate optimization audit.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2962179 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/marketinginsidergroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/unnamed-2-2-3.png\" alt=\"CRO performance based on number of methods used\" width=\"512\" height=\"285\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Source: Marketing Charts<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>The basics of conversion rates<\/h2>\n<p>Your <a href=\"https:\/\/marketinginsidergroup.com\/content-marketing\/lead-conversion-rates-average\/\">conversion rate<\/a> tells you how many visitors actually become customers. This is the money metric, if you will. What is marketing without conversions? (Here&#8217;s a hint: a failure!)<\/p>\n<p>Having a grasp on your content conversion rates is key in future strategizing. You need to utilize <a href=\"https:\/\/marketinginsidergroup.com\/content-marketing\/how-web-analytics-can-help-you-improve-content-marketing\/\">analytic tools<\/a> to better understand your conversion rates across platforms.<\/p>\n<h2>Get the easy stuff out of the way first<\/h2>\n<p>Go onto your website and click around. You don\u2019t have to have a real purpose other than making sure everything is working like it should. Little bugs make a lot of difference in user experience online, and finding them to send to your IT department can clean up your website pretty dramatically.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotjar.com\/conversion-rate-optimization\/audit\/\">Hotjar.com<\/a> includes a fantastic list on the bugs and general formatting things to look for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><em>An attention-grabbing headline\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><em>A clear value proposition<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><em>High-quality images<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><em>Liberal use of white space\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><em>Social proof through testimonials, case studies, and user-generated content on <a href=\"https:\/\/marketinginsidergroup.com\/content-marketing\/why-social-media-is-important-for-business-marketing\/\">social media<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><em>Easy ways to get in touch with you either via live chat or a contact form<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><em>Clear, consistent CTAs<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You know when you click on someone\u2019s link or page and there&#8217;s a broken link or empty page?

CRO audits are a chance to go in and track down those mistakes to maximize your overall conversion rates.<\/p>\n<h2>Look deeper at your pages that convert the most<\/h2>\n<p>Ok, this is a bit of a loaded statement. Yes, you want to dive deep on the articles and pages that harvest the most conversions, but you also need to take care of the pages viewers will see the <em>most<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Things like your landing page and contact page may seem trivial, but first and last impressions make a world of difference in the online user experience. We commonly refer to these pages as <em><a href=\"https:\/\/marketinginsidergroup.com\/content-marketing\/understanding-stages-sales-funnel\/\">top of the funnel<\/a><\/em> and bottom of the funnel.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2962183 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/marketinginsidergroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/unnamed-3-1-3.png\" alt=\"the marketing funnel\" width=\"512\" height=\"374\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Source: Visual Paradigm Online<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Ask your visitors what they think<\/h2>\n<p>A little bit of awareness goes a long way. Find out what your audience is interested in, what kind of content they respond to. Then apply their thoughts and opinions to how you market your products or services.<\/p>\n<p>Asses where your company resides on the internet. What communities do you engage with? Where is your voice heard the most? Or the least? Take inventory of your online presence to understand where you have access to potential customers. Once you know where you are, you can better figure out how to stay there and keep putting your content in front of prospective eyes.<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t forget the most obvious way of listening to your clients comments and concerns! Surveys! Sending out surveys via <a href=\"https:\/\/marketinginsidergroup.com\/content-marketing\/10-brands-show-us-email-marketing-done\/\">email blast<\/a> and your social channels is a great way of getting directly to the people that use your website the most.<\/p>\n<p>If you really want results, you should sweeten the pot with a discount or freebie upon completion. This enables both parties to walk away satisfied, as you get the data for a more enriching experience, and they get money back on their next purchase.<\/p>\n<p>Love efficiency? You can double this up as a prospect and client audit too. Asking for general information like demographics and psychographics is a good way to get your marketing and sales departments a little extra data to work with.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, it\u2019s a great time for qualitative research. Take the time to read the comments you get from surveys. Some might not be great, but being able to read exactly what your clients and prospects are thinking about is a gift. Even with a small sample size, it\u2019s important to keep your finger on the pulse of your audience.<\/p>\n<h2>Check your mobile optimization<\/h2>\n<p>This seems like an obvious one, but when was the last time you opened your website on your phone? Mobile viewability is not only necessary but a <strong>must have<\/strong> when publishing content. More than <em>half<\/em> of all content is viewed on a phone.<\/p>\n<p>If your website isn\u2019t optimized for it, you\u2019re only making yourself look bad! This is one of those things that is perfectly acceptable to hire contractors or consultancies for. This includes things like videos on your website being optimized for mobile and making sure your site doesn\u2019t run slow on a phone.<\/p>\n<p>It should go without saying that this doesn\u2019t mean you should neglect your traditional online website in favor of mobile. There should be a balance between the two, and both should have the same content and presentation with appropriate formatting.<\/p>\n<h2>A\/B Testing<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/marketinginsidergroup.com\/marketing-strategy\/4-ways-marketing-automation-takes-the-uncertainty-out-of-a-b-testing\/\">A\/B testing<\/a> is one of the easiest ways of identifying what changes you should make to your website. By comparing one version to another, you can see plain and simple what is working more efficiently for your brand.<\/p>\n<p>To conduct an A\/B test, you change a webpage slightly and monitor the performance of each against each other. The change can be as simple as changing the color of your CTA button in your task bar, or even moving it around on the page.<\/p>\n<p>Then you make sure to send half of your visitors to version A and half to version B. (A\/B testing is a pretty creative name, huh?)<\/p>\n<p>Using analytics tools (like Google Analytics) you&#8217;ll quickly be able to see which page is bringing in more bacon, aka conversions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2962186 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/marketinginsidergroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/unnamed-4-1-1.png\" alt=\"split testing visual\" width=\"512\" height=\"316\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Source: Pitstop Media Inc<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The glory of A\/B testing is that the options are limitless.

Content optimization inadvertently leads to conversion rate optimization down the line, as organic search is crucial to converting prospects into customers.<\/p>\n<p>Organic search is for the prospects you haven\u2019t made contact with yet. When they\u2019re searching for general terms related to your product or service, it\u2019s your aim to be one of the very first things they see on the page.

CTAs are the get up and do this part of your article, and are crucial to getting shares and engagement from your readers.<\/p>\n<p>Content optimization IS conversion rate optimization!
