This is called “conversion rate optimization” (CRO). Simply put, conversion rate optimization transforms relevant traffic into measurable growth.

CRO can be known as “split testing.” In split testing, you carry out special tests to improve your website. These tests are carried out on parts of a site where goals can be measured.
Examples of website elements that can be split tested:
- Menus, forms, and buttons
- Headlines and descriptions
- Pictures and videos
- Calls to action
- Registration pages
- Signup forms
For example, Content Verve performed a split test to figure out which button will appeal more to visitors.
You can see that the changes made to the button, specifically the color and style, generated a 35.81% increase in conversion rate.
