## Frequently Asked Questions


### What is conversion rate optimization (CRO)?

Conversion rate optimization (CRO) is the systematic process of increasing the percentage of website visitors who take a desired action. This includes signing up for a service, making a purchase, filling out a form, or any other goal. CRO uses data analysis, user feedback, and A/B testing to improve website performance and maximize ROI from existing traffic.

For more details, see our article on [How to Build a SaaS Pricing Strategy That Converts](/blog/how-to-build-a-saas-pricing-strategy-that-converts).


### How do you calculate conversion rate?

Conversion rate is calculated by dividing the number of conversions by the total number of visitors, then multiplying by 100. For example: (100 conversions / 2,000 visitors) × 100 = 5% conversion rate. This metric helps measure the effectiveness of your website or landing page at turning visitors into customers.

A good conversion rate varies by industry, but typically ranges from 2-5% for most websites. E-commerce sites average 2-3%, while SaaS companies average 3-5% for trial signups. B2B lead generation sites often see 2-4%. The key is to continuously test and improve your baseline conversion rate regardless of industry benchmarks.
