Looks good, but does it convert? CRO Specialist James Canter - Marketing Mavericks Show #26 Marketing Mavericks Show

    • Marketing

A lot of businesses have the belief that pretty websites sell more of their product or service.

But does a website need to be optimized for the best visual appearance?

No, says James Canter, Conversion Rate Optimization Specialist who's been in this field for more than 10 years. Working with e-commerce and B2B business on improving lead generation and sales from their websites, he always asked a critical question first:

"Does it convert?"

Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) aims to improve the performance of websites, in terms of generated leads or sales. 

There are no set-in-stone rules on what makes a website convert better, which is why data and testing are so important. James shares his principle of optimizing websites in the e-commerce space as well as for service businesses. 

We chat about the use of quantitative testing, using methods like A/B testing. Also, James talks about the massive importance of qualitative data like surveys, polls and interview to hear more opinions on the website and buying experience.

CRO evolved since James started in this industry more than 10 years ago. He takes an outlook into the future of CRO and the use of automation and artificial intelligence shaping testing and analysis.
