What is Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) and how does it work?
In today’s overcrowded online marketplace, the amount of traffic your website receives isn’t the true measure of success. Don’t get us wrong, you want your digital marketing to drive clicks, but your business growth is determined by how many website visitors actually respond to your call to action, such as buying a product or leaving their contact details. On average, less than 5% of people who visit a website will ever convert. That means you need to get the attention of at least 20 people for just one to do the thing you want them to do. It quickly gets expensive, especially in competitive industries with high customer acquisition costs.
Too many business owners and even professional marketers are killing the power of their digital campaigns by prioritising clicks over customers. There is no prize for getting a click alone; it’s just the first step in the sales process. You only realise the benefit when your traffic converts into a genuine lead. If too many visitors are leaving your website without taking the desired action then you need to figure out why they weren’t interested and how you can do better with the next potential customer. This is where a comprehensive strategy designed by a conversion rate optimisation specialist from BAMBRICK will make all the difference for your business.
CONVERSION RATE OPTIMISATION IS THE PROCESS OF UNDERSTANDING WHAT DRIVES, STOPS, AND PERSUADES YOUR WEBSITE VISITORS SO YOU CAN GET THE BEST ROI FOR YOUR DIGITAL MARKETING SPEND.
The aim of the game with conversion rate optimisation is to work smarter, not harder. There is no sense in burning through your marketing budget chasing entirely new website traffic when you can just optimise what’s already there to generate more conversions. A lot happens before the final step to convert a website click into a customer. Whether you want to turn your SEO rankings into actual online sales or your Google Ads just aren’t getting enough clicks, CRO is about finding opportunities to make the entire sales process shorter, easier and more enjoyable. You can encourage browsers to become buyers – and that means a better return on your investment.
YOUR CRO AUDIT SHOULD BE FOCUSED ON:
- What is bringing people to your website?
- Where and why are they leaving the site?
- What entices them to convert?
- How can you repeat this conversion with future visitors?
Pioneer department store magnate and inventor of the price tag, John Wanamaker, famously said: “Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is, I don’t know which half.” With a full CRO audit, you’ll know exactly where you can improve your digital advertising to propel your business towards sustainable growth.

How Brisbane conversion rate optimisation can transform your business
We’re sure you’ve heard the phrase “You’ve got to spend money to make money,” and that’s certainly true in digital advertising. You can’t just sit on your hands and hope potential customers stumble across your business online. You need to put enough resources into your marketing campaign to get noticed – but just how much value are you getting from that digital spend? It doesn’t matter how many people are visiting your site if you can’t convert that interest into sales which means your ROI is also going to suffer.
Conversion rate optimisation is about getting the most out of the money you’ve already invested in your digital marketing. A specialist conversion agency will analyse the current user experience of your website and use that data to enhance your marketing campaign. You could be missing out on sales opportunities and revenue because you’re not targeting the right audience with the right message at the right time. Using proven CRO techniques such as A/B testing, you can figure out exactly what you need to do to attract more visitors to your site who will also become paying customers.
CRO MIGHT SOUND COMPLEX, BUT THE BENEFITS ARE STRAIGHTFORWARD.
- Let’s assume you need 100 leads
- And your website has a conversion rate of 5%
- To get 100 leads you would need 2,000 clicks
- Let’s assume you pay $5 a click
- Your 100 leads will cost you $10,000
BUT WHAT HAPPENS IF YOUR CONVERSION RATE IMPROVES?
- Let’s say your conversion rate was 15%
- Instead of 2,000 clicks you only need 667
- Instead of $10,000 you only need $3,334
- That’s a saving of over $6,500 per month
IN 12 MONTHS, THAT ONE SMALL CHANGE WOULD SAVE YOU A TOTAL OF $79,992. THEREIN LIES THE VALUE OF CONVERSION RATE OPTIMISATION.

Your personalised conversion rate optimisation strategy
Let the expert team at BAMBRICK show you how to get more from your digital advertising with our holistic approach to conversion rate optimisation. The traditional sales funnel has four steps: awareness, interest, desire, action. We’ll examine how your marketing campaign performs at every step to determine exactly when and why you’re missing out on conversions. We’ll also provide detailed reports and recommendations for what you can change to start generating more leads right away without increasing your budget.
The key to successful CRO is thorough research before you start user testing. If your decisions are based on gut feelings instead of quantifiable data then your conversion optimisation efforts are going to fall flat. We use tools such as Google Analytics to track website activity, including session times and bounce rate, so we can learn how users are navigating your pages. A/B testing (also called split testing) then allows us to see how any changes to the design and content influence conversions. Once you have data on exactly what works for your target audience it will be much easier to build a loyal customer base.
We’re a results-driven CRO marketing agency, which means all of our strategies are specifically tailored to your business goals. If it doesn’t directly make our clients money, or it can’t be tracked, we don’t do it. Book your free strategy session today to learn how you can make the most out of every dollar spent on digital advertising with our specialist conversion optimisation services.

Conversion Rate Optimisation FAQs
There are so many variables when it comes to conversion rates which makes it tough to give a definitive benchmark that you should be trying to achieve. The average conversion rate for digital marketing campaigns convert is around 2.35% according to research by WordStream, but that’s only a rough guide. Whether or not that number is profitable depends on your industry, target audience, conversion goals… the list goes on. Rather than comparing yourself against everyone else, you should focus on how you can do better with conversion rate optimisation.
CRO provides you with an in-depth understanding of what actually matters to your potential customers. When you take this data and use it to enhance your digital campaign, conversions will naturally follow. It might require some experimentation before you find the most effective strategy, but even small changes can have a big impact on your website’s conversion rate. A bump from 2% to 4% doesn’t sound like much, but that still means you’re getting double the results from your existing traffic which also equates to double the profits.
Our goal as a specialist CRO agency is to help our clients refine their digital marketing strategies and increase conversions regardless of the starting point. Your conversion rate could already be above the industry benchmarks, but any opportunity to make your marketing even more profitable is worth your time. Book a free strategy session with our CRO experts at BAMBRICK today. We’ll guide you on everything from data analysis to A/B testing so you can start seeing conversion rate improvements for your business.
The goal of every business is to make money. Conversion rate optimisation is a tactic to help you achieve that goal in the most efficient way possible. In most cases, a conversion means a sale, but it depends on your business and what you’re hoping to gain from your digital marketing efforts. Maybe you’re a tradie and just want people to pick up the phone and call after finding your business through local SEO. If you’re running a restaurant, you might count dinner reservations. Email and newsletter sign ups can also be a conversion when you’re trying to build a customer base.
No matter how you define conversions, you need to generate as many as possible to be successful. The better your landing pages or website then the more likely you are to have the edge over your competitors with a high conversion rate. By the same token, if you offer a poor user experience then you’ll have a low conversion rate as customers look elsewhere. CRO is about understanding the variables that affect your website conversion rate so you can remove any barriers and persuade more visitors to take action. As long as your business has an online presence, you have something to gain from a CRO audit.
Both digital marketing strategies are important because they have different objectives. SEO helps generate organic traffic by showing Google that your website is the most relevant for a particular query. Ranking on the first page of search results is a sure-fire way to put your website in front of the right audience, but what are you doing with all that attention? The aim of CRO is to get more visitors to take action when they browse your website, whether that’s making a purchase, filling out a contact form or signing up for your newsletter.
CRO and SEO should go hand-in-hand when you’re developing your digital campaign so you can drive search traffic that also converts into customers. For example, the technical SEO factors that can harm your search rankings, like site speed, broken links, and mobile friendliness, can also affect conversions through a poor user experience. If your website takes too long to load then it’s unlikely visitors are going to wait around and convert. Even if a page is ranking highly, it may not be getting enough clicks. A dedicated CRO analysis can help learn why, which will both increase conversions and improve your SEO efforts.
Getting the best results from search engine marketing is about more than just ranking in the top position for the right keywords. Your approach needs to include CRO strategies so you can be confident that users will take the desired action after they find your website in search results. Speak with our industry experts at BAMBRICK today to learn more about how SEO and CRO can work together to boost rankings, increase conversions, and grow your business.
