Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) is the practice of improving the percentage of website visitors, leads, or users who complete a desired action — such as filling out a form, signing up for a demo, or becoming a customer. In B2B marketing, CRO helps maximize the ROI of existing traffic by optimizing each touchpoint in the buyer journey for better outcomes.
What Is Conversion Rate Optimization?
Conversion Rate Optimization is a data-driven strategy that focuses on increasing the effectiveness of digital assets — such as landing pages, CTAs, forms, and email campaigns — to encourage more conversions. It relies on user behavior analysis, A/B testing, UX improvements, and personalized experiences to reduce friction and guide users toward key actions.
In the B2B world, CRO plays a vital role in lead generation, form completion, and pipeline acceleration.
