Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) is one of the most important aspects of any search engine optimisation campaign. Using CRO and SEO, especially with most marketing channels, can greatly improve a company’s rankings and sales. Unfortunately, many businesses do not include this strategy in their SEO campaigns, and they tend to miss out on its benefits.
SEO and CRO both have their own defined roles to play, but there are several reasons why successful businesses combine these two in their strategies. When done correctly, such a combination can provide a company with outstanding results.
SEO is used to reach and attract a broader audience that is interested in your products and services and redirect them to a web page that’s relevant to their queries and search intention, whether they want to purchase something or seek information. Understanding the user’s search behaviour is a must so that SEO experts can reach potential buyers and boost their marketing sales.
On the other hand, CRO maximises each website interaction to improve the value that the user gains. This means that the goal of CRO is to increase the value of what a business already has.
SEO agencies and website owners tend to leave their CRO inactive for the required amount of traffic to make meaningful decisions or paused as they wait for resources to be available; for instance, developer time to implement changes on the website.
But having SEO and CRO work separately is a huge mistake, as they are far more useful when used together. For instance, a significant amount of search opportunities happen even before a user clicks. The notion of conversion can happen in digital marketing even before the audience is redirected to the website.
Many untapped opportunities in search marketing happen between making positive impressions and clicks. This means there is a huge gap between when users see a business’s advertisements and clicking the link to visit the website.
Click-through Rate (CTR) has always been a part of SEO, and it can be supported with the call to action (CTA) of combined CRO and SEO.
A CTA is something that keeps the audience engaged with products and services before they even make the decision to buy or use it. For instance, this could be free trials, content downloads, webinar and email signups, and more.
When it comes to digital marketing, the biggest reason why customers do not purchase a product or a service is that companies could not get over the challenge of persuading a user to click through their advertisement and visit their website in the first place.
Generally, SEO is one of the largest sources of traffic for a website, and if it has a low cost per visit, it becomes an amazing partner for CRO. SEO can increase the number of people visiting relevant web pages on a website, but CRO has a role of constant iterative testing, experiential refinement, and ongoing learning.
By having CRO and SEO working together, businesses can make more efficient use of their resources and also share insights with each area, allowing them to work harder and achieve business goals.
