Conversion rate optimisation helps you get more value from the traffic you already have. Instead of spending more to acquire visitors, CRO focuses on improving the parts of your website, landing pages and digital journeys that influence whether people convert, enquire, purchase, or progress to the next step.
At Kraken Data, we deliver full-service conversion rate optimisation programs designed to improve revenue, lead generation, and customer journey performance. We combine analytics, UX, psychology, experimentation, development, QA and reporting to identify what is causing friction and validate what actually improves results.
Our role is to act as an extension of your digital team. We identify opportunities, prioritise them, write hypotheses, design and build test variations, complete QA, launch experiments, and analyse the results so your team can focus on decisions and business outcomes.
What is conversion rate optimisation?
Conversion rate optimisation, or CRO, is the process of improving a website or digital experience so a higher percentage of visitors complete a desired action. That action might be a sale, lead submission, quote request, signup, checkout completion, or any other meaningful business goal.
Effective CRO is not about guesswork or cosmetic changes. It is about using evidence to understand where users are dropping off, where friction exists, and which changes are most likely to improve performance.
What does a CRO program include?
A successful CRO program usually includes a combination of strategy, analysis, design, testing, implementation and reporting. Rather than treating experimentation as a one-off task, we run it as a structured and repeatable process.
- analytics review and opportunity analysis
- test ideation and prioritisation
- hypothesis development
- test planning and approval workflows
- variation design and build
- quality assurance across devices and browsers
- experiment launch and monitoring
- results analysis and recommendations
- ongoing roadmap and program reporting
This gives clients a more complete CRO capability without needing to assemble strategy, design, build, QA and analysis across multiple teams or agencies.
What we optimise
We work across the parts of the journey that have the biggest impact on conversion performance.
- landing pages
- lead generation forms
- quote funnels
- checkout flows
- product and proposition pages
- mobile experiences
- calls to action and messaging
- trust, reassurance and navigation elements
In many cases, the most valuable gains come from improving flow, clarity, and confidence rather than redesigning everything at once.
How our CRO process works
Our process is designed to take an idea from opportunity through to validated result.
1. Discover opportunities
We review analytics, behavioural patterns, funnel performance and existing experience data to identify where friction may be affecting conversion performance.
2. Prioritise the right tests
Not every idea deserves to be tested first. We focus on the opportunities most likely to improve key business metrics based on impact, evidence and delivery effort.
3. Write the hypothesis and test plan
Each experiment starts with a clear hypothesis, success metrics, targeting logic, and a documented test plan so stakeholders know what is being tested and why.
4. Design and build variations
We create and implement the required variations, including changes to content, layout, calls to action, navigation, forms, or other journey elements.
5. Complete QA and launch
Every test is quality assured across relevant devices and browsers before launch, then monitored to ensure tracking and experience delivery are working as expected.
6. Analyse the results
After the test reaches conclusion, we provide analysis, insights, and recommendations so the learnings can be applied to future experiments and broader digital decisions.

Who CRO is right for
CRO is most valuable for businesses that already have meaningful traffic and want to improve the performance of key digital journeys. It is especially useful when:
- you are investing in acquisition but underwhelmed by conversion performance
- your forms, landing pages or funnels have visible drop-off
- you want more evidence behind UX and content decisions
- you need a structured experimentation program rather than ad-hoc testing
- you want to improve revenue or lead generation without relying only on more traffic
What results can CRO improve?
A strong optimisation program can improve a wide range of commercial and behavioural metrics, depending on the business model and goals.
- sales and completed purchases
- lead submissions
- quote starts and completions
- checkout completion rate
- form completion rate
- click-through rate to key next steps
- engagement with important journey elements
- overall funnel progression
Just as importantly, a structured program builds a growing library of learnings about what works for your customers, devices, and journeys over time.
Our approach to experimentation
We believe experimentation should be practical, measurable, and continuous. That means focusing on tests that are aligned to business outcomes, executed properly, and analysed in a way that leads to better future decisions.
Rather than chasing superficial wins, we aim to uncover the experience changes that make a meaningful difference to how users move through your site and complete valuable actions.
