Step 1: Identify Funnel Leaks: The first step of our meticulous CRO process begins with identifying the stages in your funnel where traffic leaks occur. Using segmented funnel analysis, event flow analysis, customer journey analysis, and form analytics, we pinpoint the exact areas responsible for significant traffic drop-offs.

Step 2: Understand User Struggles: Moving forward, we strive to comprehend the struggles of your users that drive these funnel drop-offs. Utilizing a variety of methods, including heuristic UX analysis, user testing, user polls and interviews, event map analysis, technical analysis, regression analysis, heat maps analysis, and video session recording analysis, we identify key user struggles, objections, and technical issues that act as barriers to conversion.

Step 3: Hypothesis Development: With a firm understanding of these struggles, we proceed to the third step: hypothesis development. This phase involves developing a solution concept, designing alternative variations, and user testing these alternatives, forming a strong foundation for potential solutions aimed at improving conversions.

Step 4: Variation Validation: To validate our hypothesis, we move onto the fourth step: Variation validation. In this stage, the alternative variation is coded into an experiment, undergoes rigorous QA testing, and is subjected to a post-test statistical analysis. This stringent validation ensures that our proposed solution effectively increases the desired metrics.

Step 5: Deploy Winning Variation: The fifth and final step sees the winning variation being deployed onto your site. This entails coding the winning variation onto the site, performing QA testing of the deployed variation, and measuring its impact on the site's performance. This closing step allows for the implementation of an effective solution that tangibly contributes to improved conversion rates.
