Ask 100 individuals responsible for conversion optimization what they do and you will receive 100 different answers.
What makes the practice of conversion rate optimization (CRO) as a professional specialty so interesting and intriguing (not to mention meaningful) is that it encompasses such a variety of different disciplines, from digital design and business strategy to Web analytics and online marketing. It's necessary to know just as much about the nuances of personalization as the science of development. Combined, that leads to complexities which are difficult for most enterprises to wrap their collective head around.
Fortunately, there are a near infinite supply of software tools, platforms and solutions that address the primary challenges of increasing and improving the rate of conversion for the benefit of a business.
What many are shocked to discover is not only how much overlap there is between many of the services, but just how different the myriad tools are that are used by CRO professionals; there are marketing automation systems, analytics platforms and pure-play A/B testing solutions, as well as personalization solutions and heat mapping products.
