Why do you need Conversion Rate Optimization tools in your website

Have you ever heard about Conversion Rate Optimization(CRO)?

Okay, so you have a website, a landing page to sell an idea, an e-commerce site to sell online products, or a web app to sell online services.

It is safe to say the purpose of a website is to sell something, that’s why you need tools like Google Analytic or SEO tools to help you succeed by acquiring more users.

Cool but was that enough?

Analytic does not provide you outside of the general page view counter and referrals, for example, you can't tell if your visitors got stuck in the process of signing up, or did your visitors even read your website content at all?

Without proper tools, you’re just blindly guessing your way to improving your website, and this is where Conversion Rate Optimization steps in to save the day!

Understand that conversion rate optimization does not directly increase your current website's traffic but primarily working on your existing traffic by closing more deals.

Feedback Widget

Feedback Widget should always be ready on your website where it’s most accessible by visitors. Giving feedback through email or contact form is often not a preferred communication medium, as visitors need to take extra steps to reach you.

So, it’s important for you to lower down the bar for visitors to reach you with constructive feedback, a simple optional alternative way to leave feedback easily and anonymously if concerned.
