We all know what SEO is, but many business owners in Sydney still do not really understand CRO or why it’s one of the most important factors to consider when marketing your business online.
Firstly, what is CRO?
CRO is an anacronym for Conversion Rate Optimisation and it’s basically consumer behaviour once they reach your website. What do they do? How do they behave on the site? Do they exit the site without buying or inquiring for it? Do they land on the home page, search for a couple of minutes and simply leave the page? Is the user experience unpleasant? Does your potential lead land on a particular page, purchase go through the motions of buying a product and then abandon the shopping cart right before they hit the buy now button?
All of these above consumer traits are part of the CRO process and as a SEO & digital agency it’s our job at SEO Sydney Experts to eliminate any on page negative experiences and maximise conversion rates. Simply put and the really makes perfect sense; if you are going to go to the trouble and effort of ranking a website you MUST make sure that when the customer finds the site, the experience they have is nothing less than perfect. If there are any hurdles in the way of making a purchase or they simply look at the site and can’t figure out what the hell is going on there they will look elsewhere.
If you take a look at all the major brands websites such as Harvey Norman, Qantas, Nike, Hilton Hotels etc, these companies have got the CRO formula perfect. When you land on their sites you know exactly what’s happening and know where to go to make the inquiry. You are left with no doubt in your mind that you are on a trustworthy, professional website and these factors will motivate and encourage you to engage with the company online.
Simply put ,the better the CRO, the better the customer experience and journey and therefore the more likelihood of a sale.If your conversion rates are down then you need to act and act fast. The longer you leave it the better you are making it for your competition so; STOP HELPING YOUR COMPETITORS TODAY!

Our conversion rate optimisation service we have a team of web designers that can undertake a complete audit of your current website, take a look into your Google analytics ( to see the nitty gritty facts about your websites performance), and make recommendation on ways to improve performance. Sometimes it’s a quick fix and in other cases, unfortunately it’s a matter of ditching the website and starting again. Sometimes, sites are just beyond repair and anything we do will just wont help CRO rates.
We also look at your business from the customers perspective and see what your unique selling points are and focus our design and SEO efforts on promoting and pushing these. What are you trying to say, what is your business message? We do not want any ambiguity when consumers come to your site. Our aim is to really hit them hard with your message and make sure that they buy from you.

CRO will boost sales leads very very quickly!
It’s now a matter of being constantly pro active with your website. Fine tuning it and tweaking it on a regular basis for better performance and CRO rates . It’s not a set and forget scenario any longer. If you think this is the case then you are going to pay dearly for this mind set very quickly in terms of lost business.
Nowadays, Google and the consumer set the rules and it’s up to companies like us here at SEO Sydney Experts to make sure you are not left behind wondering: ‘what just happened’. I often hear business say, we were busy last year but now it’s gone really quiet. This is the fall out from being negligent with your online presence. The steps you should have taken 3-6 months ago (but didn’t) have now come back to haunt you. Being complacent is a formula for seriously BAD CRO RATES, under performing Google rankings and ultimately lost business opportunities.
Basically, high ranking websites with poor conversion rates must now achieve a higher level of sophistication and creativity, devising more compelling options for consumers to engage and interact with the website content and calls to action. Staying current is really key to survival in this shifting digital world.
