What is a CRO audit?
A CRO audit is a structured review of a website's ability to turn visitors into leads or customers. It analyses funnels and analytics, user behaviour through heatmaps and recordings, page content and design, forms and checkout, page speed, and tracking accuracy, ending with prioritised recommendations.
Most sites lose visitors at a few critical points. An audit finds those points with data and explains the likely causes.
You get practical recommendations your team can implement, or we can test and build them.
