4 Beginner Tips To Increase Your Website Conversion Rate

Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) is the process of improving user experience in order to increase website visitors into potential customers and leads. Conversion rate refers to the number of visitors who do what you want them to do, like purchasing a product from your website, requesting a quote, subscribing to a service, etc. Any online business thrives only when it has the great conversion ratio. Higher conversion rate = better Return on Investment (ROI).

4 Proven Ways To Improve Your Website Conversion Rate

Call to Action (CTA)

CTA is an image or line of text that prompts on a website that tells the visitor to take some specified action. Call-to-Actions are a necessity in every web page to provide customers with compelling reasons to buy their product or service. The Call to Action (CTA) that you use must create a sense of urgency or interest, such as limited time onlyoffer ends soon or special, in the minds of the customers. CTA provided must encourage the customer to take the desired action; it may be a subscription, a purchase, or any other kind of advertisement. Creating an effective call to action that will increase your website conversion rate and leads.

Create Value

Acquisition of customers is the main goal, but having repeated visitors can really boost up your sales and website popularity. Attracting repetitive purchase from the same customers can be a tricky task as it needs you in differentiating your brand and product from your competitors and demonstrating that your site offers more value and reasonability to them, thereby creating loyalty in them.

Improve The User Experience

Customers purchase only if they feel good about the website and its products or services. The first step in achieving this is to create a positive ambiance on your website that creates a good customer experience. Some pointers for a better user experience are:

  1. Good website navigation makes it easy for your users to find what they want.
  2. Providing a strong call-to-action makes the process easier
  3. Use catchy phrases in titles and subtitles to make the customer read on
  4. Perform user testing and cross-browser, platform, and device testing
  5. Optimize your website for mobile
  6. Pay attention to site speed and page loading. Analyse your website speed using Google PageSpeed insights, GTmetrix, and Pingdom
  7. Use hyperlink differentiation to make your offers stand out
  8. Avoid any occurrence of errors while the customer is browsing your site

Build a Landing Page

Every website needs a good landing page to make the first impression a memorable one. The landing page must have a logical connection from the online advertisement, search link or backlink. Landing pages determine the rate of conversion factor of the customers from visitors into sales or leads. A landing page differs from a home page as it focuses and prompts the visitors to take an action. It can be a temporary set up and has very few navigational options. A landing page acts as a platform to convert website visitors into leads and drive more conversions with A /B testing and user testing.
