Converting your audience with a CRO approach?
Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) is about maximizing the number of visitors who complete a desired action on your website, like making a purchase, subscribing to a newsletter, or booking a meeting. In short, it means making the most of the traffic you already have, instead of endlessly spending on acquiring new visitors.

But how can you implement a concrete and effective CRO strategy? Here are the key steps, and how FlowFinder directly supports each one.
Step 1: Understand your users’ real behavior
What does that mean?
Precisely understand how your visitors interact with your site: pages viewed, time spent, clicks made, early exits.
How does FlowFinder help?
FlowFinder records each visit in video. You know exactly how users browse your site, where they click, and why they leave.
Concrete example:
A visitor adds a product to the cart but suddenly leaves. FlowFinder shows in video that the form was too complex, allowing you to adjust immediately.
Step 2: Clearly identify friction points
What does that mean?
Pinpoint what’s stopping your visitors: technical errors, unclear content, mobile compatibility issues.
What does that mean?
FlowFinder helps you easily spot these issues with video replays and detailed technical analysis (404 pages, slow loading, mobile problems).
Concrete example:
You notice that a specific field in your form causes users to leave. You adjust it right away and boost conversions.
Step 3: A/B testing to validate your assumptions
What does that mean?
Test multiple versions of a page to determine which converts better.
What does that mean?
FlowFinder allows you to run intuitive A/B tests without technical skills, helping you validate your ideas quickly.
Concrete example:
You test two different buttons ('Buy Now' vs. 'Order Now'). FlowFinder clearly shows the winning version, directly increasing your revenue.
Step 4: Precise form optimization
What does that mean?
Simplify your forms to reduce abandonment.
What does that mean?
FlowFinder analyzes every form interaction, precisely identifying problematic fields.
Concrete example:
You discover with FlowFinder that asking for a phone number causes 50% of users to drop off. Making that field optional instantly increases sales.
Step 5: Instant user feedback
What does that mean?
Gather user opinions directly to understand their real needs.
What does that mean?
FlowFinder offers one-click surveys, ideal for getting fast insights on specific product pages.
Concrete example:
A quick survey reveals your product description is unclear. You rewrite it immediately, and sales go up.
Step 6: Funnel optimization
What does that mean?
Clearly see where visitors drop off and optimize every stage of the journey.
What does that mean?
FlowFinder provides intuitive graphs and video replays so you can quickly spot weak points in the funnel.
Concrete example:
You notice a drop in conversions at the payment step. After improving it with FlowFinder insights, your sales increase by 15%.
Step 7: Value micro-conversions
What does that mean?
Micro-conversions (clicks, video views, cart adds) are key signals that deserve attention.
What does that mean?
FlowFinder measures these actions precisely and identifies which ones increase your chances of final conversion.
Concrete example:
FlowFinder shows that visitors who watch your product video are 3x more likely to buy. You increase its visibility and raise your conversions.
Step 8: Continuous monitoring and improvement
What does that mean?
CRO never ends! Effective strategy means constantly tracking changes and optimizing based on evolving user behavior.
What does that mean?
FlowFinder offers a clear, interactive, and intuitive dashboard that lets you monitor results in real time. You can measure the impact of changes and adjust your strategies continuously.
Concrete example:
After tweaking your signup form, you use FlowFinder to monitor conversion improvements daily. The data shows a 25% increase. FlowFinder confirms your choices and helps you improve continuously.
