  • CRO Program : Best Practices and KPIs to Track [2024]

    8 mai 2024, par Erin

    Driving traffic to your website is only one part of the equation ; the second part is getting those visitors to convert by completing a desired action — creating an account, signing up for a newsletter or completing a purchase. 

    But if you fail to optimise your website for conversions, you’ll have a hard time guiding visitors further down the funnel and turning them into customers.

    That’s where a CRO program (or conversion rate optimisation) can help. 

    This article will cover conversion rate optimisation best practices and outline key metrics and KPIs to start tracking to see an improvement in your conversion rates.

    What is a CRO program ? 

    In the simplest terms, a CRO program — also called a CRO plan — is a digital marketing strategy. It focuses on implementing different tactics that can lead to an increase in conversion rate and maximising revenue. 

    CRO concept with marketing icons

    One thing to remember is that the definition of “conversion” varies from business to business. The most obvious type of conversion would be a financial transaction or a completed form — but it comes down to what you consider a valuable action. 

    Many different actions can count as conversions, depending on your marketing goals. 

    Besides making a purchase, other common examples of key conversion moments include creating a new account, signing up for a free trial, booking a demo and subscribing to an email newsletter. 

    Another thing worth noting is that while the average conversion rate on e-commerce websites is 3.76%, it might fluctuate across different industries and device types. Case in point — desktop devices have higher conversion rates than mobile devices, clocking in at 4.79% and 3.32%, respectively. 

    So, in addition to defining your key conversion moments, you should also go over conversion insights relevant to your specific industry. 

    The importance of conversion rate optimisation 

    You’d be right to assume that the ultimate goal of a conversion rate optimisation process is to drive revenue through higher conversion rates — but don’t focus solely on the numbers. The core principle of a CRO program is improving the customer experience. Once you’ve achieved that, the increase in conversion rate will follow. 

    Illustration of conversion funnel optimisation

    According to a recent report, global conversion rate optimisation (CRO) software sales are expected to reach $3.7 billion by 2032 — up from $1.1 billion in 2021. 

    This growth indicates the increasing interest in strategies and tools that can help optimise the conversion funnel. Businesses are looking for ways to keep potential customers engaged and improve the average conversion rate — without necessarily increasing their spending. 

    Here are a few reasons why a CRO program deserves a spot in your broader digital marketing strategies : 

    • It can lower your cost per acquisition (CPA) : A CRO program is about optimising your conversion funnel by leveraging existing assets and website traffic rather than increasing your spending — which lowers the costs of acquiring new customers and, in turn, drives ROI. 
    • It can maximise customer lifetime value (CLV) : If you can turn one-time buyers into repeat customers, you’ll be one step closer to building a loyal user base and increasing your CLV. 
    • It can lead to increased sales and boost your revenue : Higher conversion rates typically mean higher revenue ; that’s arguably the most obvious benefit of implementing a CRO program
    • It improves the overall user experience : The goal is to make your site more accessible, easier to navigate and more engaging. Delivering the experience people want — and expect — when navigating your website is one of the core principles of a CRO program.
    • It helps you to get to know your customers better : You can’t meet your customers’ needs without taking the time to know them, create user personas and understand their preferences, pain points and conversion barriers they may be facing. 

    Conversion optimisation gives you a competitive edge in revenue and brand reputation. 

    5 CRO best practices 

    Illustration of different CRO elements

    Here are five conversion rate optimisation strategies and best practices that can make a real difference in the customer experience — and drive potential conversions. 

    Create a CRO roadmap in advance 

    First and foremost, you’ll need a well-defined “game plan” that aligns with and reflects your conversion goals. 

    A CRO roadmap is a detailed manual that outlines how to implement different elements of your CRO-related efforts. Marketing teams can refer to this step-by-step framework for test planning, prioritisation and resource allocation while optimising their marketing strategy. 

    While conversion rate optimisation can be a complex process — especially when you don’t know what to tackle first — we’ve found that there are three things you need to consider when setting the foundations of a successful CRO program : 

    • The “why” behind your website traffic : You’re likely using different online marketing strategies — from SEO to pay-per-click (PPC). So, it’s best to start by gathering channel-specific conversion insights through marketing attribution. Then identify which of these efforts have the biggest impact on your target audience. 
    • The so-called “conversion blockers” that tell you where and why visitors tend to leave without completing a desired action : Funnel analysis might reveal problematic pages — drop-off points where you tend to lose most of your visitors. 
    • Your “hooks” : User feedback can be of great help here ; you can learn a lot by simply asking your customers to fill out a quick online survey and tell you what motivated them to take action.

    Before working on that “game plan,” perform a pre-test analysis. 

    Matomo combines web analytics and user behaviour analytics with features like Heatmaps, Session Recordings, Form Analytics, Funnel Analytics, A/B Testing and User Flow. It can give you those initial benchmarks for measuring progress and a potential increase in conversion rate. 

    Validate your ideas with A/B and multivariate testing 

    Conversion rate optimisation is an iterative process. So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that A/B testing variants of page layouts, CTAs, headlines, copy and other elements is a big part of it.

    Multivariate and A/B testing allows you to test a wide range of elements across your site and identify what works — and, more importantly, what doesn’t — in terms of driving conversions.

    On that note, Matomo’s A/B Testing feature can support your conversion rate optimisation process by identifying variants that perform better based on statistical significance.

    Get to know your website visitors 

    Driving conversions comes down to understanding potential customer’s pain points and needs — and delivering an experience that positions you as the solution and gets them to take action. 

    Here are a few things that can help you understand your website visitors better : 

    • Collecting customer feedback through surveys and using it to identify main areas for improvement 
    • Creating detailed customer personas and optimising your website design and messaging based on your target audience’s pain points, needs and wants 
    • Using heatmaps — colour-coded data visualisation tools that illustrate user interactions — and scroll maps to get a comprehensive overview of online sessions and identify the most engaging elements and those that stand out as potential conversion barriers 

    Matomo’s Heatmaps can help you identify the most-clicked elements on the page and show how far users scroll — providing powerful user insights you can use to optimise these pages.

    Remove friction points 

    As we previously discussed, identifying friction points and barriers to conversion — issues that prevent visitors from converting — is one of the crucial aspects of developing a CRO plan. 

    Many different “conversion blockers” are worth looking into, including : 

    • Lengthy or otherwise complex checkout processes 
    • No guest checkout feature 
    • Device type, browser and OS compatibility issues 
    • Slow site speed and other technical issues
    • Lack of free shipping and limited payment methods 
    • Absence of social proof (customer reviews and testimonials) and trust badges

    Once you’ve identified what’s slowing down or completely discouraging users from reaching key conversion moments, take the time to address it. 

    Switch to text-based CTAs 

    Calls-to-action (CTAs) play a crucial role in guiding customers from interest to action. However, sometimes they fail to do their job — encouraging website visitors to proceed to the next step — effectively. 

    The most obvious reason is that your CTAs aren’t visually engaging or clear enough. In that case, you can try using action-oriented language and stronger visual elements and aligning the CTA copy with the context of the page. 

    But more often than not, the issue comes down to a phenomenon called “banner blindness” — the tendency of website visitors to ignore (either intentionally or unintentionally) elements on a page that resemble banner ads. 

    And if that’s what’s preventing visitors from converting, consider switching to text-based CTAs. 

    Conversion rate optimisation metrics and KPIs 

    At this point, you should know the outcomes you hope to achieve. Your next step should be to figure out how you’re going to measure and analyse results — and identify the changes that made the most impact on your conversion funnel. 

    After all, your CRO action plan should be based on data — assumptions and “gut feelings” will rarely lead to a notable increase in conversion rates

    Illustration of the conversion funnel

    That brings us to key performance indicators (KPIs) : 

    Tracking CRO metrics and website KPIs can help you understand the customer’s journey and path to purchase, identify opportunities for improving the user experience (UX) and determine how to optimise conversions.

    That said, you shouldn’t try to track every metric in the book ; think about your ultimate goal and identify the metrics and KPIs most relevant to your business. 

    We’ll assume that you’re already tracking macro- and micro-conversions. However, we’ve outlined a few additional key conversion rate optimisation metrics you should keep an eye on to make sure that your CRO program is performing as intended : 

    • Cost-per-conversion : By measuring how much you spend on each successful conversion — again, completed forms, sign-ups and sales all count as key conversion moments — you’ll be in a better position to assess the cost-effectiveness of your online marketing strategies.
    • Starter rate : This metric tells you the number of people who start filling out the form, after seeing it. This metric is particularly important for companies that rely on getting leads from forms. 
    • Average order value (AOV) : This metric is important for e-commerce sites to understand the value of their transactions. AOV calculates the average monetary value of each order.

    That’s not all ; you can also use a web analytics tool like Matomo to gain granular insights into visitors : 

    • Unique, new and returning visitors : Tracking the number of new and returning visitors your website gets within a given timeframe will help you understand your user base and determine if your content resonates with them. While you want a constant stream of new traffic, don’t overlook the importance of returning visitors ; they’re the foundation of a loyal customer base.
    • User flows : By analysing the user flows, you’ll have a visual representation of how visitors use your website, which will help you understand their journey and the specific path they take. 
    • Bounce rate : This metric tells you how many users viewed a single page on your site and ended up leaving before they took any kind of action. As such, it’s a clear indicator of how good your content, CTAs and website layout are at keeping users engaged.
    • Exit rate : Another key metric to track is the exit rate — the percentage of users who drop off at a specific page. High-exit pages usually lack important information and CTAs, cause frustration or otherwise fail to meet users’ expectations. Keep in mind that there’s a difference between bounce rate and exit rate — the latter involves users who viewed at least one other page. 

    There are many other user engagement metrics you should keep an eye on in addition to the ones mentioned above — including time on-page, actions per visit, scroll depth and traffic source. You’ll find all this information — and more — in Matomo’s Page Analytics Report

    Conclusion 

    Implementing a CRO program can be a time-consuming and iterative process. However, it’s vital for guiding your marketing efforts and making data-driven decisions that’ll ultimately help you drive growth and reach your business goals. 

    It’s best to start by identifying where your website visitors come from and what contributes to — or prevents them from — taking further action. But that’s easier said than done. You’ll need to leverage web analytics tools like Matomo to gather powerful user insights and monitor your website’s performance.

  • Introducing Crash Analytics for Matomo

    30 août 2023, par Erin — Community, Plugins

    Bugs and development go hand in hand. As code matures, it contends with new browser iterations, clashes with ad blockers and other software quirks, resulting in the inevitable emergence of bugs. In fact, a staggering 13% of all pageviews come with lurking JavaScript errors.

    Monitoring for crashes becomes an unrelenting task. Amidst this never-ending effort to remove bugs, a SurveyMonkey study unveils a shared reality : a resounding 66% of individuals have encountered bug-ridden websites.

    These bugs lead to problems like malfunctioning shopping carts, glitchy checkout procedures and contact forms that just won’t cooperate. But they’re not just minor annoyances – they pose a real danger to your conversion rates and revenue.

    According to a study, 58% of visitors are inclined to abandon purchases as a result of bugs, while an astonishing 75% are driven to completely abandon websites due to these frustrating experiences.

    Imagine a website earning approximately 25,000 EUR per month. Now, factor in errors occurring in 13% of all pageviews. The result ? A potential monthly loss of 1,885 EUR.

    Meet Crash Analytics

    Driven by our vision to create an empowering analytics product, we’re excited to introduce Crash Analytics, an innovative plugin for Matomo On-Premise that automatically tracks bugs on your website.

    Soon, Crash Analytics will become available to Matomo Cloud users as well, so stay tuned for further updates and announcements.

    Say goodbye to lost revenue – never miss a bug again

    Even if you put your website through the toughest tests, it’s hard to predict every little hiccup that can pop up across different browsers, setups and situations. Factors such as ad blockers, varying internet speeds for visitors and browser updates can add an extra layer of complexity.

    When these crashes happen, you want to know immediately. However, according to a study, only 29% of surveyed respondents would report the existence of the site bug to the website operator. These bugs that go unnoticed can really hurt your bottom line and conversion rates, causing you to lose out on revenue and leaving your users frustrated and disappointed.

Seamlessly combining Matomo’s traditional and behavioural web analytics features—like segments, session recordings and visitor logs—with crash data, this integrated approach unveils a wealth of insights so you can quickly resolve bugs. 

    For instance, let’s say a user encounters a bug while attempting to complete a purchase on your e-commerce website. Crash Analytics reveals the exact point of failure, but to truly grasp the situation, you delve into the session recordings. These recordings offer a front-row seat to the user’s journey—every click and interaction that led to the bug. Session recordings are especially helpful when you are struggling to reproduce an issue.

This helps you understand their activity leading up to the bug, such as pages visited, actions taken and devices used. Armed with these multifaceted insights, you can confidently pinpoint the root causes and address the crash immediately.

    With segments, you have the ability to dissect the data and compare experiences among distinct user groups. For example, you can compare mobile visitors to desktop visitors to determine if the issue is isolated or widespread and what impact the issue is having on the user experience of different user groups. 

    The combination of crash data with Matomo’s comprehensive web analytics equips you with the tools needed to elevate user experiences and ultimately drive revenue growth.

    Start in seconds, shape as needed : Your path to a 100% reliable website

    Crash Analytics makes the path to a reliable website simple. You don’t have to deal with intricate setups—crash detection starts without any configuration. 

    Plus, Crash Analytics excels in cross-stack proficiency, seamlessly extending its capabilities beyond automatically tracking JavaScript errors to covering server-side crashes as well, whether they occur in PHP, Android, iOS, Java or other frameworks.

  • Segmentation Analytics : How to Leverage It on Your Site

    27 octobre 2023, par Erin — Analytics Tips

    The deeper you go with your customer analytics, the better your insights will be.

    The result ? Your marketing performance soars to new heights.

    Customer segmentation is one of the best ways businesses can align their marketing strategies with an effective output to generate better results. Marketers know that targeting the right people is one of the most important aspects of connecting with and converting web visitors into customers.

    By diving into customer segmentation analytics, you’ll be able to transform your loosely defined and abstract audience into tangible, understandable segments, so you can serve them better.

    In this guide, we’ll break down customer segmentation analytics, the different types, and how you can delve into these analytics on your website to grow your business.

    What is customer segmentation ?

    Before we dive into customer segmentation analytics, let’s take a step back and look at customer segmentation in general. 

    Customer segmentation is the process of dividing your customers up into different groups based on specific characteristics.

    These groups could be based on demographics like age or location or behaviours like recent purchases or website visits. 

    By splitting your audience into different segments, your marketing team will be able to craft highly targeted and relevant marketing campaigns that are more likely to convert.

    Additionally, customer segmentation allows businesses to gain new insights into their audience. For example, by diving deep into different segments, marketers can uncover pain points and desires, leading to increased conversion rates and return on investment.

    But, to grasp the different customer segments, organisations need to know how to collect, digest and interpret the data for usable insights to improve their business. That’s where segmentation analytics comes in.

    What is customer segmentation analytics ?

    Customer segmentation analytics splits customers into different groups within your analytics software to create more detailed customer data and improve targeting.

    What is segmentation analytics?

    With customer segmentation, you’re splitting your customers into different groups. With customer segmentation analytics, you’re doing this all within your analytics platform so you can understand them better.

    One example of splitting your customers up is by country. For example, let’s say you have a global customer base. So, you go into your analytics software and find that 90% of your website visitors come from five countries : the UK, the US, Australia, Germany and Japan.

    In this area, you could then create customer segmentation subsets based on these five countries. Moving forward, you could then hop into your analytics tool at any point in time and analyse the segments by country. 

    For example, if you wanted to see how well your recent marketing campaign impacted your Japanese customers, you could look at your Japanese subset within your analytics and dive into the data.

    The primary goal of customer segmentation analytics is to gather actionable data points to give you an in-depth understanding of your customers. By gathering data on your different audience segments, you’ll discover insights on your customers that you can use to optimise your website, marketing campaigns, mobile apps, product offerings and overall customer experience.

    Rather than lumping your entire customer base into a single mass, customer segmentation analytics allows you to meet even more specific and relevant needs and pain points of your customers to serve them better.

    By allowing you to “zoom in” on your audience, segmentation analytics helps you offer more value to your customers, giving you a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

    5 types of segmentation

    There are dozens of different ways to split up your customers into segments. The one you choose depends on your goals and marketing efforts. Each type of segmentation offers a different view of your customers so you can better understand their specific needs to reach them more effectively.

    While you can segment your customers in almost endless ways, five common types the majority fall under are :

    5 Types of Segmentation

    Geographic

    Another way to segment is by geography.

    This is important because you could have drastically different interests, pain points and desires based on where you live.

    If you’re running a global e-commerce website that sells a variety of clothing products, geographic segmentation can play a crucial role in optimising your website.

    For instance, you may observe that a significant portion of your website visitors are from countries in the Southern Hemisphere, where it’s currently summer. On the other hand, visitors from the Northern Hemisphere are experiencing winter. Utilising this information, you can tailor your marketing strategy and website accordingly to increase sells.

    Where someone comes from can significantly impact how they will respond to your messaging, brand and offer.

    Geographic segmentation typically includes the following subtypes :

    • Cities (i.e., Austin, Paris, Berlin, etc.)
    • State (i.e., Massachusetts)
    • Country (i.e., Thailand)

    Psychographic

    Another key segmentation type of psychographic. This is where you split your customers into different groups based on their lifestyles.

    Psychographic segmentation is a method of dividing your customers based on their habits, attitudes, values and opinions. You can unlock key emotional elements that impact your customers’ purchasing behaviours through this segmentation type.

    Psychographic segmentation typically includes the following subtypes :

    • Values
    • Habits
    • Opinions

    Behavioural

    While psychographic segmentation looks at your customers’ overall lifestyle and habits, behavioural segmentation aims to dive into the specific individual actions they take daily, especially when interacting with your brand or your website.

    Your customers won’t all interact with your brand the same way. They’ll act differently when interacting with your products and services for several reasons. 

    Behavioural segmentation can help reveal certain use cases, like why customers buy a certain product, how often they buy it, where they buy it and how they use it.

    By unpacking these key details about your audience’s behaviour, you can optimise your campaigns and messaging to get the most out of your marketing efforts to reach new and existing customers.

    Behavioural segmentation typically includes the following subtypes :

    • Interactions
    • Interests
    • Desires

    Technographic

    Another common segmentation type is technographic segmentation. As the name suggests, this technologically driven segment seeks to understand how your customers use technology.

    While this is one of the newest segmentation types marketers use, it’s a powerful method to help you understand the types of tech your customers use, how often they use it and the specific ways they use it.

    Technographic segmentation typically includes the following subtypes :

    • Smartphone type
    • Device type : smartphone, desktop, tablet
    • Apps
    • Video games

    Demographic

    The most common approach to segmentation is to split your customers up by demographics. 

    Demographic segmentation typically includes subtypes like language, job title, age or education.

    This can be helpful for tailoring your content, products, and marketing efforts to specific audience segments. One way to capture this information is by using web analytics tools, where language is often available as a data point.

    However, for accurate insights into other demographic segments like job titles, which may not be available (or accurate) in analytics tools, you may need to implement surveys or add fields to forms on your website to gather this specific information directly from your visitors.

    How to build website segmentation analytics

    With Matomo, you can create a variety of segments to divide your website visitors into different groups. Matomo’s Segments allows you to view segmentation analytics on subsets of your audience, like :

    • The device they used while visiting your site
    • What channel they entered your site from
    • What country they are located
    • Whether or not they visited a key page of your website
    • And more

    While it’s important to collect general data on every visitor you have to your website, a key to website growth is understanding each type of visitor you have.

    For example, here’s a screenshot of how you can segment all of your website’s visitors from New Zealand :

    Matomo Dashboard of Segmentation by Country

    The criteria you use to define these segments are based on the data collected within your web analytics platform.

    Here are some popular ways you can create some common themes on Matomo that can be used to create segments :

    Visit based segments

    Create segments in Matomo based on visitors’ patterns. 

    For example :

    • Do returning visitors show different traits than first-time visitors ?
    • Do people who arrive on your blog experience your website differently than those arriving on a landing page ?

    This information can inform your content strategy, user interface design and marketing efforts.

    Demographic segments

    Create segments in Matomo based on people’s demographics. 

    For example :

    • User’s browser language
    • Location

    This can enable you to tailor your approach to specific demographics, improving the performance of your marketing campaigns.

    Technographic segments

    Create segments in Matomo based on people’s technographics. 

    For example :

    • Web browser being used (i.e., Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc.)
    • Device type (i.e., smartphone, tablet, desktop)

    This can inform how to optimise your website based on users’ technology preferences, enhancing the effectiveness of your website.

    Interaction based segments

    Create segments in Matomo based on interactions. 

    For example :

    • Events (i.e., when someone clicks a specific URL on your website)
    • Goals (i.e., when someone stays on your site for a certain period)

    Insights from this can empower you to fine-tune your content and user experience for increasing conversion rates.

    Campaign-based segments

    Create segments in Matomo based on campaigns. 

    For example :

    • Visitors arriving from specific traffic sources
    • Visitors arriving from specific advertising campaigns

    With these insights, you can assess the performance of your marketing efforts, optimise your ad spend and make data-driven decisions to enhance your campaigns for better results.

    Ecommerce segments

    Create segments in Matomo based on ecommerce

    For example :

    • Visitors who purchased vs. those who didn’t
    • Visitors who purchased a specific product

    This allows you to refine your website and marketing strategy for increased conversions and revenue.
