In present days of digital marketing business, Conversion Rate Optimization or CRO is very important for the conversion of web visitors to take the desired action for the materialization of business. Visitors visit the web page but leave without taking the desired action, just because the CRO factor has not been paid due importance to the web page and a suitable CRO Strategy has not been made.

The desired conversion action on a website needs a suitable CRO strategy for the website. It includes purchasing of the product by the visitor. It also includes clicking “Add to Cart”. The visitor can sign up for service by filling up a form or the visitor may click on the desired link.

A suitable CRO Strategy helps in making the online traffic to the web page consistent. The chances of a visitor to the web page repeating his visit to the same web page are totally dependent on the CRO Strategy adopted by that web page. The chances of the visitor taking the desired action become very less under such a situation.
