otherwise, you won&#8217;t know exactly what works best \ud83d\ude09.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heatmaps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Heatmaps are heat maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They show you the &#8220;hot&#8221; spots on your page: where visitors click the most, where they move their mouse the most, how far they scroll, etc&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This gives you a good idea of your visitors&#8217; behavior and can help you understand what might be blocking them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If, for example, you see that the scroll rate down to the price is very low, it might be that your copywriting isn&#8217;t effective enough (to convey what you&#8217;re selling, convince that it&#8217;s useful, etc&#8230;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Screen Recordings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As their name suggests, they record the screen of your visitors when they are on your landing page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, this is not a real screen recording but rather a recreation of your visitors\u2019 navigation (individually) so you can see and understand their complete journey on your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This allows you to understand precisely what your visitors are doing and clearly see if there are any blockages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The downside is that it takes time to analyze each visit \ud83d\ude09.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Analytics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is surely the most common tool. It will provide you with graphs on the progress of your conversion rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also allows you to segment to understand the differences that may exist between various types of visitors (geographic area, device used, origin before arriving on your page, etc&#8230;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Analytics only give you overall numerical data that can help you understand when your conversion rate is no longer good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will have a harder time really understanding your visitors&#8217; behavior with analytics. For that, I rather recommend the previous tools \ud83d\ude09.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Surveying Your Visitors Directly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It may seem simple, but it\u2019s actually one of the most effective tools: contact your visitors and ask them directly why they did or did not convert \ud83d\ude09.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversion rate optimization (CRO) is a very effective technique and less expensive than acquisition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is therefore important to devote time and resources to it if you want to improve your business&#8217;s profitability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover advanced CRO techniques to effectively boost your conversions without complications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":728,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[61,62,63,53,67,54,55],"class_list":["post-962","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cro-en","tag-61","tag-62","tag-63","tag-conversion-en","tag-cro-2","tag-landing-page-en","tag-marketing-en","post-wrapper","thrv_wrapper"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heropage.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/962","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heropage.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heropage.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heropage.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heropage.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=962"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/heropage.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/962\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":981,"href":"https:\/\/heropage.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/962\/revisions\/981"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heropage.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heropage.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=962"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heropage.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=962"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heropage.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
