CONVERSION RATE OPTIMISATION

Definition: Conversion rate is the ratio of visitors who complete a desired action to the total number of visitors. It’s usually expressed as a percentage.
Formula: Conversion Rate = (Number of Conversions / Number of Visitors) × 100

Maximize ROI: Improving conversion rates can lead to better return on investment by increasing the effectiveness of existing traffic.
Cost Efficiency: It’s often more cost-effective to optimize the performance of a website than to acquire new traffic.
User Experience: Enhancing the user experience can lead to higher satisfaction and loyalty, contributing to better conversions.

A. Analytics and Data Collection
Traffic Analysis: Understand where your visitors come from, what pages they visit, and how they interact with your site.
User Behavior: Tools like Google Analytics, Hotjar, or Crazy Egg can provide insights into user behavior through heatmaps, session recordings, and click tracking.

B. Identifying Conversion Goals
Primary Conversions: These are direct actions like purchases, sign-ups, or downloads.
Secondary Conversions: These might include activities like social shares, time spent on site, or page views.

C. Testing and Optimization:
A/B Testing: Compare two versions of a page or element to see which performs better.
Multivariate Testing: Test multiple variables simultaneously to determine which combination yields the best results.
Split URL Testing: Test different versions of entire pages to assess performance differences.

D. Enhancing User Experience:
