Conversion Rate Optimisation Audit
Conversion Rate Optimisation Audit
Find what stops visitors from buying or enquiring.
Our CRO audit reviews the key pages and steps in your customer journey. We identify confusing information, usability issues and measurement gaps. You receive a prioritised plan for website improvements, with recommendations your team can understand and implement.
Why this may be happening
- The offer, proof or next step may be difficult to understand.
- Mobile layouts, forms, errors or checkout friction may interrupt action.
- Different traffic sources may bring visitors with very different intent.
Relevant delivery experience
Demand, buying experience and operations built together. Explore the team’s decisions, reported outcomes and evidence context.
The case explains coordinated business delivery; it does not publish a standalone conversion rate optimization audit result. We keep that scope clear when discussing evidence for your project.
This experience retains its original brand-side or agency context. Meet the team’s approach to discuss the delivery scope for your business.
How our team helps
We start by finding the cause of the problem. Then we agree the priorities, the work to deliver and who will implement each change.
- Review key landing, product or service pages and the conversion route.
- Use available analytics and qualitative evidence to identify friction.
- Create testable recommendations and agree implementation or experiment scope.
Your deliverables
A customer-journey audit, friction findings and a prioritised improvement plan.
- An annotated journey audit.
- A ranked hypothesis backlog with effort and impact rationale.
- A measurement and validation plan.
How we measure results
Start with a defined journey and the evidence of friction, then record the proposed change and success measure. For experiments, agree eligibility, the primary outcome and stopping rules before launch. If traffic cannot support a reliable test, distinguish usability and implementation improvements from a measured causal conversion lift.
Review the journey people actually use
The audit follows visitors from key entry pages to checkout or enquiry. We check the information, page controls and feedback at each step. Mobile use deserves its own review because a journey that works on desktop may be difficult on a phone.
Analytics can show where visitors leave, but not always why. We combine the data with usability checks and available customer feedback. We separate missing measurement from a genuine drop in customer action.
Make each recommendation actionable
A useful recommendation identifies the page, the problem, the evidence and the change to consider. Priorities reflect the business importance of the journey as well as the effort needed. Screens and examples used internally stay within the agreed access and confidentiality rules.
The next phase may involve design, development or testing. Your proposal identifies who implements each change. A new visual design alone is not the conclusion of an audit; the customer’s decision and next step are the focus.
A practical example
Illustrative situation: visitors click an enquiry button but the form asks for a long brief and sensitive details before explaining what happens next. We simplify the first step and set clear expectations, then measure completed and useful enquiries.

Who works on your project
Customer-behaviour research and measurement support help investigate where the buying journey becomes difficult. Relevant channel leads contribute the acquisition context; design and integration specialists support changes where included in the scope. We agree implementation ownership and the test method before treating a difference as an improvement.

Frequently asked questions
Is a CRO audit the same as a redesign?
No. An audit identifies friction and priorities. A redesign may be one response, but smaller changes can be more appropriate when they address a specific issue.
Can you audit a lead-generation website?
Yes. We can examine service understanding, trust information, enquiry forms and the path to a qualified lead as well as ecommerce journeys.
Do we need high traffic for an audit?
No. Journey inspection and defect checks can still be useful. Reliable controlled experiments usually need enough observations to support a decision.
Will you promise a conversion uplift?
No. Recommendations are evidence-led hypotheses or defect fixes. Outcomes must be assessed after implementation, with traffic quality and other changes considered.
How much does this service cost?
Fees depend on the work, the systems involved and the level of ongoing support. We explain the deliverables, responsibilities and fees in a proposal before you decide. Software, advertising spend and other external charges are identified separately where relevant.
How long does the work take?
Audit timing depends on journey complexity and data access; implementation and testing are scoped separately.
