Get more from the traffic you already have
Doubling conversion rate has the same effect as doubling traffic, and it’s usually cheaper and faster. We research why people are leaving, test fixes properly, and keep what works.
Most “CRO” is just guessing with extra steps
Changing a button colour is not conversion rate optimisation. Neither is applying a list of best practices from a blog post, most of which were derived from a single test on somebody else’s audience.
Useful CRO starts with finding out what’s actually happening — and that requires research, not opinion:
Quantitative: where exactly are people dropping out, on which devices, from which sources, on which steps. The answer is frequently narrow and specific: mobile users abandoning at the address field, or traffic from one campaign converting at a fraction of everything else.
Qualitative: session recordings, heatmaps, on-site polls, and asking recent customers what nearly stopped them. This is where you find the reason, as opposed to the location.
Only then do you have a hypothesis worth testing. And a hypothesis is a statement with a prediction attached — “moving the pricing above the fold will increase demo requests, because the top exit-survey response is confusion about cost” — not “let’s try a different headline.”
What’s included
Research
- Analytics deep-dive: funnel, segment and device analysis
- Session recordings and heatmaps
- Form analytics — where exactly people abandon
- On-site polls and exit surveys
- Customer interviews
- Usability review
- Technical friction audit: speed, errors, mobile behaviour
Testing
- Prioritised hypothesis backlog, scored by expected impact and effort
- Test design with an agreed success metric and decision rule set in advance
- Build and QA across devices
- Statistical analysis — including being honest when a result isn’t significant
- Documented learnings, including from tests that failed
Implementation
- Winning variants shipped permanently
- Page redesigns by Saif where testing shows the whole approach is wrong
- Copy rewrites
- Form and checkout optimisation
A note on traffic volume
A/B testing needs traffic to reach statistical significance. Below roughly 100 conversions per month, you will not get reliable test results in a sensible timeframe, and running tests anyway produces confident conclusions from noise.
Low-traffic sites should do CRO differently: research, usability review, and fixing the obvious problems that research reveals — without pretending a test validated it. We’ll tell you which category you’re in at the outset, and we’d rather do that than sell you a testing programme that can’t work.

FAQ
How much does CRO cost?
A one-off conversion review starts at $600. A full research sprint costs $1,200. Ongoing CRO retainers, including research, testing and implementation, start at $1,500 per month. Single-page optimisation starts at $400.
How much traffic do I need for A/B testing?
Roughly 100 conversions per month as a practical minimum for tests to reach significance within a reasonable timeframe. Below that, A/B testing produces confident-looking conclusions drawn from noise. Lower-traffic sites get better value from research-led improvements — usability review, exit surveys and fixing what those reveal — without the false precision of a test.
What is a good conversion rate?
The only useful benchmark is your own previous rate. Published averages span a huge range and depend entirely on traffic source, offer type, price point and industry — a 2% rate might be excellent for one business and poor for another. The question worth asking is whether this month is better than last month, and whether you know why.
How long does a CRO test take?
Typically two to four weeks per test, depending on traffic and effect size. Tests should run for full weeks to cover day-of-week variation, and shouldn’t be stopped early because an early result looks good — stopping at the first significant-looking moment is the most common way testing programmes generate false wins.
What if the test doesn’t win?
Most don’t, and that’s normal — a commonly cited figure is that only around one in five to one in seven tests produces a clear winner. A losing test still tells you something true about your audience, which is why we document learnings from every test rather than only the successful ones. A programme with no failed tests is testing things too safe to matter.
Do you redesign pages or only test changes?
Both. Incremental testing improves a page that’s fundamentally sound. Where research shows the whole approach is wrong — the page is answering a question nobody asked — we’ll redesign it with Saif and test the new version against the old. Iterating on a broken premise wastes months.
