Discover how our effective CRO strategies work:
CRO audit
We review your key pages through the eyes of your customers and compare your site against competitors and proven best practices. This allows us to pinpoint exactly where friction exists, whether it’s due to unclear messaging or misaligned calls to action. You’ll come away with a prioritised set of recommendations that show you what to change, why it matters, and how it will improve your results.
Heatmaps
We set up user behaviour tracking at the start of our ongoing SEO services. This includes heatmaps that show how potential customers interact with your website – how far they scroll and where they do or don’t click. We then review this data to uncover patterns and make changes that improve the customer journey and boost conversions.
A/B testing
Instead of relying on assumptions, we can compare different versions of your pages to see what your audience responds to best. This could be changes to messaging, layout, imagery, or calls to action. Over time, these small improvements compound, helping you steadily increase conversions without risking what already works.
On-page element changes
We make sure your key message on every page is instantly clear by refining the details visitors notice first, such as headings, imagery, page structure, and calls to action. We tweak these areas to make your website feel clearer, more relatable, and easier to engage with.

Why WordPress websites benefit from CRO
CRO is one of the most effective ways to improve performance while making use of what you already have. If your website already attracts traffic, whether through SEO, paid media, or other digital marketing channels, conversion rate optimisation helps you convert more of those visitors into leads and sales.
This means you can:
- Generate more enquiries from your existing traffic without increasing spend
- Make your website easier to use so visitors find what they need faster
- Guide users clearly and quickly towards getting in touch or making a purchase
- Build trust with your audience through clearer messaging, structure, and social proof
- Make your website more engaging so users stay longer
- Increase the return on your SEO, making every visitor more valuable
Why technical understanding of WordPress matters for CRO
Conversion rate optimisation isn’t just about how your website looks or the words on the page. It also relies on how your website is built. WordPress gives you flexibility, but without the right technical setup, even the best ideas can be difficult to implement properly.
That’s where our 360° combined SEO and development expertise makes a difference.
We understand how WordPress themes, plugins, and page structures work behind the scenes. This means we can make meaningful changes without disrupting your site. For you, that means faster improvements, fewer limitations, and a website that performs as well technically as it does visually.
Why traffic alone isn’t enough
More traffic doesn’t always mean more customers. You could be investing in SEO, Google Ads, or other marketing channels and still feel like your website isn’t bringing the results you expected.
That’s usually because traffic is only one part of the equation.
If your website isn’t clear, easy to use, and built to guide users towards a desired action, even high-quality visitors can leave without converting. Over time, this can increase your acquisition costs and reduce the return on your marketing efforts.
But CRO helps you close that gap. It ensures your existing traffic works harder and has a much better chance of turning into real leads and sales.
Talk to us about CROOur approach to conversion rate optimisation
At Targeted SEO, everything we do is focused on giving your website the best chance of success when it reaches your target audience. Because our SEO strategies build robust website foundations, conversion rate optimisation becomes a natural extension of what we already do.
-
We start with real data
We’re a data-driven team, and that largely comes from our deep SEO expertise. Data is at the heart of our CRO strategies. It determines where we should start and provides the information we need to make focused, practical improvements.
-
We align your pages with user intent
CRO works best when it’s aligned with SEO. We ensure your landing pages match what users expect based on how they search. For example, if a page targets commercial-intent keywords, we include trust signals, such as customer testimonials, higher up on the page to build trust.
-
We prioritise the changes that matter
We focus on the areas that are most likely to improve your conversion rate. This could mean moving your most-read sections higher up the page so users can access them faster or adding social proof where readers commonly drop off to build trust.
-
We test, refine, and improve over time
CRO is an ongoing process of learning what works and building on it. Once we’ve implemented changes, we monitor how users respond and assess what works best. We then refine and improve based on real data.

Learn moreWhat is conversion rate optimisation in simple terms?
CRO simply helps you get the most conversions possible when people land on your website. The key things to consider are making your website feel instantly trustworthy and easy to follow, and ensuring that visitors can buy or reach you in as few clicks as possible.
How do you measure conversion rate improvements?
Our CRO process tracks how your website performs as a whole, including things like form submissions, enquiries, user engagement, and how people move around your pages. More importantly, we connect those changes back to real outcomes – are you getting more leads? Better quality enquiries? More sales? That way, you can clearly see what’s improving and why it matters for your business.
How long does CRO take to show results?
Like SEO, conversion rate optimisation works best as an ongoing process. While some improvements can happen quickly (particularly with minor UX changes), the real value comes from testing, learning, and refining over time. That’s how you go from “small wins” to consistent business growth.
Is CRO only for eCommerce websites?
Not at all! While eCommerce brands often focus on CRO to boost sales, it’s just as important for service-based businesses. If your goal is to generate enquiries, sales, bookings, or leads, CRO helps make it easier for the right people to take action on your website. It’s often about gaining better-quality enquiries, not just more of them.
Can CRO improve SEO rankings?
CRO doesn’t directly improve your position in search engines, but it can support SEO performance. Better engagement, clearer structure, and improved user experience can directly impact the number and quality of leads generated when your website reaches the right people.
What results can you expect from CRO?
CRO is about making steady, meaningful improvements. When done properly, it gives you a clearer understanding of how your website performs and where the biggest opportunities lie. From there, you’ll start to see continuous improvements over time.
