CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization)
Category: Growth
The systematic practice of increasing the percentage of visitors who take a desired action.
CRO is the operating system that turns traffic into revenue. It combines quantitative analytics (funnels, heatmaps, session recordings) with qualitative research (user interviews, on-page surveys) to form hypotheses, then validates them with controlled experiments. Great CRO teams ship 4–8 tests a month and treat losses as data — not failure.
