What exactly is conversion optimization?
Matt kicked things off by explaining that conversion optimization is all about turning more of your website visitors into paying customers. It's not just about more sales – optimizing your conversion rate not only boosts revenue but also significantly enhances a company’s valuation by improving its operational efficiencies and profitability.
The Metrics that Matter
Austin then walked us through the three KPIs that make or break a company's valuation:
- Data-driven growth: Numbers don't lie! Potential buyers want to see steady growth backed by solid data.
- Strong EBITDA Margins: He explained that businesses with EBITDA is a key measure of profitability. Aim for margins above 15%, but over 20% is where things get really exciting.
- Spread the Risk: Don't put all your eggs in one basket! Diversify your customers and suppliers to show buyers your business is built to last.
How Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) Impact Your Business
Matt jumped back in to show how conversion optimization directly fuels these KPIs:
- Reducing Marketing Costs: Effective CRO strategies can optimize your website to get more out of your existing traffic, and potentially lower your marketing costs.
- Enhancing Profit Margins: By improving the user experience and operational efficiency, CRO leads to increased conversions and happier customers mean lower costs and higher profits.
- Demonstrating Growth Potential: CRO provides data-backed insights that gives you the evidence to prove to investors that your growth potential is huge.
