Conversion rate optimisation, end to end

CRO Audit

A CRO audit looks at the full path from ad click or search result to conversion — message match, page experience, friction points and trust signals — and turns findings into a prioritised testing roadmap.

1. What's included

What a CRO Audit Covers

Every Contextread cro audit reviews these six areas in detail.

MM

Message Match

Whether ad/search promise matches the landing experience.

PF

Page Friction

Form length, load time and distracting elements.

VH

Visual Hierarchy

Whether the page guides the eye to the conversion action.

TR

Trust & Proof

Reviews, testimonials, guarantees and social proof placement.

MB

Mobile Experience

Conversion path specifically on mobile devices.

TP

Testing Roadmap

A prioritised list of what to test first and why.

2. Signs you need one

Do You Actually Need a CRO Audit?

Conversion Rate Below Industry Benchmark

Your rate lags what's typical for your category.

Never Run a Structured A/B Test

Changes happen on gut feel, not tested hypotheses.

High Ad Spend, Weak Landing Pages

Paid traffic hits pages that were never optimised.

Mobile Conversion Rate Much Lower

A clear device-level performance gap exists.

Redesign Didn't Move the Needle

A recent redesign didn't improve conversion as hoped.

Want a Testing Culture, Not Just Opinions

Leadership wants decisions backed by data, not HiPPO.

What Happens After the Audit

An audit is only useful if the fixes get implemented. Here's what that looked like for one client.

Fixing message match from ads

Paid search ads promised a specific outcome the landing page never mentioned above the fold. Rewriting the hero section to match ad copy directly lifted conversion without any traffic change.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between CRO and Website Conversion audits?

They overlap heavily — a CRO audit typically also covers ad-to-page message match, while a website conversion audit is scoped purely to on-site funnels.

Do you run the A/B tests too?

The audit produces a testing roadmap; running tests is available as a separate ongoing engagement.

How much does it cost?

₹13,000 for a single page, up to ₹1,90,000+ for enterprise programs with ongoing testing.

How long does it take?

4 to 24 days depending on scope.

What tools do you use?

Analytics, heatmaps and session recordings — we can set these up if you don't already have them.
