A conversion rate optimisation consultant should start with arithmetic: how much traffic you have, and therefore which improvements are detectable.
We do that sum in the first hour, then pick the method that fits the answer. Both routes produce changes worth shipping.
What a Conversion Rate Optimisation Consultant Does at Low Traffic
Watch people use it. Session recordings and a handful of moderated sessions find more in a week than a quarter of testing on thin traffic. Four people in five missing the same button is a defect, not a hypothesis.
Fix the things that are simply wrong. A form that fails silently on a validation error. A price that appears only at step three. A mobile layout where the primary action sits below three screens of preamble.
Measure the funnel properly first. Where people leave, in order, with the drop-offs quantified. The answer is often not the page anybody suspected.
Reduce the number of decisions. Fewer fields, fewer options, fewer competing calls to action. This is close to the only change that reliably wins across sites.
When Testing Is Genuinely Right
High traffic, a change worth the effort of testing, and a hypothesis with a reason behind it.
We run to a sample size and a metric declared before the data arrives, so the result stands up when somebody asks. That discipline is what makes a win repeat when you roll it out.
Where the sums say testing is available to you, we will say so and set it up properly.
The Sums, Written Out
A page converting at three per cent, looking for a realistic relative improvement, needs roughly a few thousand visitors per variant before the result means anything.
We work that figure out from your own numbers and show it to you, so the decision between testing and diagnosis is arithmetic rather than opinion. It takes an hour and it is the most useful hour in the engagement.
Where the figure says wait, the diagnosis route usually finds enough to lift the rate past the point where testing becomes available.
How the Work Runs
A paid diagnostic first: funnel measurement, recordings reviewed, and a prioritised list of findings with the effort and expected effect against each.
Then fixed price per deliverable, working down that list. You get the analytics configuration, the findings document and the test plan, all of which stay useful after the engagement.
We report changes against the metric agreed at the start, and where a change coincided with a campaign we say the effect cannot be separated.
What We Build Into Every Recommendation
Consent that is genuinely optional, cancellation that is as easy as signing up, and scarcity messages that reflect real stock.
Those choices hold up under consumer protection rules and they keep the gains, which is the practical argument for making them.
