You already paid for this traffic.
Every other channel makes the funnel busier. This is the only one that makes it worth more. We fix what your analytics is actually measuring, then test the pages that traffic lands on — two structured experiments a month, each with a readout you can act on.
- Every test, readout and tracking fix stays documented and yours
- We report losing tests as plainly as winning ones
- 3-month minimum, then month-to-month with 30 days' notice
Three reasons nobody fixes this.
Conversion work is the highest-return thing most businesses are not doing, and the reasons it gets skipped are always the same three.
Buying traffic feels like progress
More spend produces more sessions, and sessions look like momentum on a chart. Fixing the page produces no new visitors at all — it just makes every visitor you already bought worth more, which is harder to feel and much cheaper to do.
Decisions get made by opinion
The headline changes because someone senior did not like it. There is no record of what was there before, no measurement of what happened after, and six months later nobody can say whether any of it helped.
The data quietly stopped being true
Cookies expire in days, ad blockers eat pixels, consent banners get declined and phones jump networks. Nothing announces this. The dashboard keeps producing numbers, and they keep drifting further from what happened.
Your data is already wrong. Everyone’s is.
This is not a scare tactic and it is not a criticism of whoever set your tracking up. Measurement decays on its own, because browsers and phones keep changing underneath it. The question is only how far yours has drifted — and whether anyone has checked.
Turn on what is true of your visitors:
Every one of these is normal, none of them is your fault, and all of them are quietly subtracting from the number you are using to make decisions.
The percentages above are typical industry ranges used to show how the losses stack, not a measurement of your site. The audit produces your real figure, by comparing what your analytics reports against what your payment or CRM records actually contain.
Move the measurement off the browser.
Server-side tracking records the conversion on your own infrastructure and passes it on from there, instead of relying on a script in a browser that is actively being restricted. It is the difference between asking a stranger to remember something and writing it down yourself.
$600 per platform, one-time, with before-and-after verification so you can see exactly how much the old setup was losing.
Most reported wins are noise.
Anyone can run a test and find a number that went up. The discipline is in deciding, before it starts, what would count as an answer — and then being willing to report that it did not happen. Three readouts, all with a similar-looking uplift.
Three things you can buy, and what each is for.
No tiers here. Conversion work is a diagnosis, a programme and a repair — and most engagements need the first two, in that order.

The programme
The ongoing work. Two structured experiments a month, run to a threshold agreed in advance and reported honestly either way.
- 2 structured experiments per month
- 2 landing-page iterations per month
- A statistical readout on every test
- Monthly insights report with next steps
- Losing tests documented, not buried
If needed
Server-side conversion tracking, when the audit shows the browser is losing your data. Priced per platform because each one is its own build.
- Server-side implementation
- Event mapping and validation
- Before-and-after accuracy verification
- Documented so your team can maintain it
All prices in USD. The programme is invoiced monthly in advance with a 3-month minimum, then month-to-month with 30 days’ notice. Three months is the shortest honest term for testing — two experiments a month means six results, which is the smallest number that tells you anything about a funnel.
Four commitments that make the numbers worth reading.
Conversion work is unusually easy to fake, because the person reporting the result also chooses when to stop the test. These are the guardrails.
The threshold is agreed before the test runs
Sample size and confidence level are set at the start and written down. Nobody gets to stop a test early because the number looked good on a Tuesday.
Losing tests get reported
Roughly two thirds of well-designed tests do not win. That is normal, and a report showing only wins is a report that has been edited. You get all of them, with what we learned.
We check the data before trusting it
The first thing we do is compare what analytics claims against what your payment processor or CRM actually recorded. Optimising against a broken instrument is worse than not optimising at all.
Everything is documented and yours
Every hypothesis, variant, readout and tracking change is written down and belongs to you. If we stop, your next team inherits a record instead of a mystery.
What this makes cheaper.
Conversion work is the multiplier. Every channel that sends traffic gets better the moment the page it lands on converts more of it — which is why this is usually the highest-return thing to fix first.
Media Buying
A lift in conversion rate cuts your cost per acquisition by the same proportion, on every campaign, immediately. The cheapest way to make paid media affordable is usually not in the ad account.
SEO & AI Visibility
Search takes a quarter to compound. When it does, it delivers into the same pages — so the work here decides whether that traffic becomes enquiries or sessions.
Website Development
Sometimes the audit finds a page that cannot be fixed by testing, because the template itself is the problem. Then the honest answer is a rebuild, not another experiment.
What you keep, and what you are committing to.
The uncomfortable questions are the ones worth answering before you sign, not after. Here are ours, unprompted.
- You own the record. Every hypothesis, variant, readout and tracking change is documented and yours — during the engagement and after it.
- No test is stopped early to make a report look better. The threshold is set before it starts and we hold to it, including when that is inconvenient for us.
- Your testing and analytics tools stay on your billing, in your name, so the data history is never hostage to the relationship.
- 3-month minimum on the programme, then month-to-month with 30 days' notice. Six results is the smallest number that says anything about a funnel.
- We will tell you when testing is the wrong tool. Below a certain traffic level you cannot reach significance, and we will say so rather than sell you a programme that cannot work.
Everything worth asking before you sign.
How much does CRO cost?
Three things, bought separately. The CRO & Tracking Audit is $950 one-time. The ongoing CRO Programme is $1,200 a month for two structured experiments, two landing-page iterations and a statistical readout on every test. Server-side tracking, if the audit shows you need it, is $600 per platform as a one-time build.
How much traffic do we need for this to work?
Enough to reach statistical significance in a sensible window. As a rough guide, a page needs a few thousand visitors and a reasonable number of conversions a month before A/B testing can answer anything. Below that we would focus on the audit, tracking accuracy and evidence-led redesign instead of split testing — and we will tell you which situation you are in before you commit to anything.
What if the tests do not win?
Many will not, and that is normal — roughly two thirds of well-designed tests fail to beat the control. You still gain from them, because each one removes a wrong assumption and narrows where the real problem is. What you should not accept from anybody is a report that only ever contains wins.
Why do we need to fix tracking first? Ours was set up properly.
It probably was, and it has decayed since. Browser cookie limits, ad and tracker blocking, declined consent and cross-device journeys all subtract from what your analytics can see, and none of them announce themselves. The audit compares what analytics reports against what your payment processor or CRM actually recorded, so you get your real gap rather than an assumption.
What is server-side tracking, in plain terms?
Instead of a script in the visitor’s browser trying to report a conversion — where it can be blocked, expired or stripped — your own server records it and passes it on. It is more reliable, more private-by-design and considerably more accurate. It is $600 per platform, and it is only worth doing where the audit shows the losses justify it.
Who decides what gets tested?
The audit produces a ranked list of test ideas scored by expected impact against effort, and you approve the order. Anyone on your side can propose a test at any time. What we will not do is change something because of a strong opinion and then report the next month’s numbers as if it were a result.
Will you change our site without asking?
No. Experiments run as variants shown to a share of traffic, and nothing becomes the permanent version until it has beaten the control and you have approved it. Tracking changes are agreed and documented before implementation.
Do we need a developer on our side?
Usually not for testing itself. Server-side tracking sometimes needs access to your hosting or tag manager, and for a small number of platforms it is easier if your developer is in the room for an hour. We will tell you at the audit stage rather than discovering it halfway through.
What is the minimum commitment?
The audit is a one-off with no commitment attached. The programme has a 3-month minimum and then runs month-to-month with 30 days’ notice.
How is this different from a designer redesigning our page?
A redesign changes everything at once, which means that if the numbers move you cannot say what caused it — and if they fall you cannot undo the part that hurt. Testing changes one thing at a time against a measured control, so what you end up with is a page you can explain rather than a page you happen to have.
