Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) are often seen as separate entities. But there's a surprising amount of overlap between the two: Both aim to improve user experience (UX) and deliver great content, ultimately leading to higher engagement and conversions. 



Google’s document leak made this abundantly clear. In fact, we’re excited about the connection between CRO, SEO, and user experience.



Let's explore how these disciplines intersect and how you can leverage their synergy to boost your online performance.



The Interplay of CRO and SEO



When considering the relationship between CRO and SEO, think of them as two sides of the same coin. CRO is SEO. The things that fundamentally improve your SEO are also the things that fundamentally help you to improve your conversion rate.



Google's recent revelations make this undeniable. The core elements of successful SEO are great content and an excellent user experience. It’s not about keyword stuffing; it’s about quality.



There was a time when SEO was all about exact match domains and keyword stuffing. But those days are long gone. 



Today, SEO is about understanding and meeting user needs, which is precisely where CRO comes into play. 



"It's not just about keyword stuffing. It's about having the best content and a great user experience. Those are the real fundamentals of SEO and CRO."



Fundamental Building Blocks of SEO and CRO



At the heart of both SEO and CRO is a deep understanding of user needs and behaviors. Whether you're offering content, a product, or a service, the key is to provide something valuable that addresses a problem or fulfills a desire.

Conversion rate optimization is the process of improving your website to increase the percentage of visitors who take a desired action. Whether it’s making a purchase, filling out a form, or signing up for a newsletter, effective CRO can dramatically enhance your online performance. Here are your best options for optimizing your website.



The Spectrum of Optimization



Brian and Joel explain that conversion rate optimization can be viewed on a spectrum, ranging from low-volume sites to advanced data-driven strategies. Each stage requires different approaches and considerations. In this podcast, they explore the different conversion optimization techniques that work for each stage of the spectrum.



Optimizing a Low-Volume Site



On one end of the spectrum is the lower volume website. To optimize these sites, you have to turn up your risk tolerance dial. Since you don’t have a big enough sample size to run accurate tests, you run into the optimization paradox: you have less data to understand how to bring about meaningful change, but you have to drive meaningful change in order to find detectable change.



The conversion rate is essentially a ratio. The smaller your sample size, the more subject the ratio is to fluctuation.



The truth is, it’s very difficult to make changes that win on any website. Even for the best in the business, the batting average is three out of ten. Four out of ten are winners to the dollar. Nobody knows exactly what's going to work. That's the puzzle of it. You have to fail systematically to uncover what’s going to work. For smaller websites, that’s even more challenging.
