The idea behind CRO is to look at your website as an actual product, and to encourage visitors to take actions that meet your specific business goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a few ways you can encourage website visitors to convert, some including form fills to collect information, providing an option to subscribe to newsletters, build trust content &#8211; like an \u2018About Us\u2019 page, encouraging in-line CTA\u2019s on landing pages and blog posts, and making sure your content is action-oriented.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How to Measure Conversion Rate Optimization<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CRO involves creative innovation to develop multiple versions of a website or landing page, and tracking which version performs better with users.
