Conversion optimisation: How managers can increase their success

The importance of targeted conversion optimisation for managers

Conversion optimisation is a crucial tool for managers to increase the success of their company. Especially in times when digital processes are becoming increasingly important, it is no longer just a matter of bringing visitors to a website or platform. Rather, it is about guiding visitors specifically to a desired action - be it a purchase, a registration or making contact. This is where conversion optimisation comes in, by using existing resources more effectively and thus enabling sustainable success.

Many managers are looking for ways to make existing projects relating to digital products, websites or online campaigns more effective. Clients often report that they would like support in analysing user behaviour or deriving measures to increase the conversion rate. Conversion optimisation helps to tackle these challenges in a structured way and to accompany them with concrete action steps.

First steps in conversion optimisation: analysis and user understanding

Conversion optimisation begins with a precise analysis of user paths and page behaviour. Managers support teams here by identifying typical hurdles that make it difficult for users to take the desired action. These are often overly complex forms, confusing navigation or a lack of appeal to the target group.

In the retail sector, for example, it has been shown that products with too many options often lead to customers cancelling their purchase. Focussing on the most important features and a clear ordering process have a positive effect here. A clear structure also helps service providers to better address target group needs and increase the conversion rate through targeted user guidance.

As part of a conversion optimisation project, KIROI supported the team of a medium-sized software provider. Detailed user analyses and targeted A/B tests were used to adapt the landing pages so that clear call-to-action elements and customised content significantly increased the completion rate within six months. The constant support of the decision-makers in evaluating and prioritising the measures was particularly important.

Conversion optimisation through content and technical adjustments

The effect of conversion optimisation is often based on a combination of content quality and technical implementation. Managers therefore often support the customisation of texts, images and user experiences on websites. Good content should always be tailored to the needs of users and find their search intention. For this reason, it is advisable to regularly measure content against the top competitors and surpass them with your own added value.

Another important topic is the technical performance of the website: A fast loading time and a clear page structure not only improve the user experience, but also visibility in search engines. Technical measures therefore contribute directly to conversion optimisation, as they increase trust in the site and reduce bounce rates.

With the support of KIROI, an online retailer optimised the loading time of its website and at the same time differentiated the content for different target groups. This not only increased the dwell time, but also significantly improved the number of purchases within a few months. This combination of technology and content was decisive for sustainable success.

Targeted measures to increase the conversion rate

Managers use conversion optimisation to identify clear levers for success. These include designing clear call-to-action buttons, improving user-friendliness and incorporating trust-building elements such as customer reviews or certificates. Such signals create security and encourage visitors to take action.

Incentives are also a proven means of increasing conversion rates. Among other things, managers support projects in which discounts, time-limited offers or free additional services are introduced. Such measures are particularly appealing to customers who are in a decision-making phase and are still hesitant.

As part of a project in the service industry, customer loyalty programmes were introduced with KIROI that included time-limited discounts and bonuses. Managers were given ideas on how to communicate these offers in a targeted manner and link them to sales campaigns. As a result, a significantly higher rate of contracts was achieved with existing customers.

Why continuous support is important for conversion optimisation

Conversion optimisation is not a one-off project, but an ongoing process. Managers therefore rely on close support for the teams in order to carry out successive tests and continuously adapt the measures. In this way, weak points are eliminated step by step and new opportunities are discovered.

This iterative approach also adapts to changing customer needs and market conditions. Managers who accompany this process with the necessary eye for detailed data and user feedback create stable long-term success and strengthen their company's competitiveness.

My analysis

Conversion optimisation is an effective tool for managers to improve the success of digital projects. However, it requires a combination of analysis, content quality, technical implementation and continuous support. Managers often report that such a holistic approach helps them to recognise and sustainably leverage potential. KIROI coaching accompanies precisely these processes and provides valuable impetus so that companies can implement projects relating to artificial intelligence and digital transformation in a targeted manner.
