To understand what Conversion Rate Optimization or CRO means, you first have to start by defining what conversion is. At Media Shield, we refer to conversion as the process in which visitors will go to a partner’s website and takes an action that is desired by the implemented objectives.

This may include subscribing to an email newsletter, creating an account with a username and password, making a purchase, downloading an application, or something else entirely. Whatever action our partners want their visitors or potential customers to take, this action is what is going to be measured and what we are looking to optimize.

There are several features that are associated with optimizing the conversion rate, including for example that it is a structured and systematic approach that aims to improve the performance of our partner’s website. 

It is also considered to be made up of thoughts, especially analysis and user comments. It is also a process defined by the objectives and unique needs of the website, in which the traffic our partners already have is taken and we will get the most out of it. 

It is also important to clarify that the optimization of the conversion rate should not be carried out on the basis of assumptions, hunches, or what others are doing. What our partners are looking to improve, the conversion rate is the total number of conversions.

That is the number of people who did what is defined as a conversion. To obtain the conversion rate, the total number of conversions above must be divided by the number of visitors to the site. For example, a site with 5,000 visitors and 50 conversions has a conversion rate of 1%. 

The amount of time people spend on the site, the exit rate, as well as the average page views, should also be taken into account.

Why do I need to improve the conversion rate?

 Let’s see some advantages that the conversion rate means in most of our partner’s online sales platform.
