The CRO Process
Research
Hypothesize
Prioritize
Test
Analyze
Phase 1: Research
Quantitative
Analytics, funnel analysis, heatmaps, session recordings
Qualitative
User surveys, interviews, usability testing, support insights
Heatmaps
Click patterns, scroll depth, attention zones
Recordings
User behavior, friction points, rage clicks
Phase 2: Hypothesis Development
"Every CRO test should start with a clear hypothesis: If we [change X], then [metric Y] will [improve] because [reasoning]. Without this structure, you're just guessing."
Phase 3: Prioritization (ICE Framework)
- Impact: Expected effect on conversion rate
- Confidence: How sure are you it will work?
- Ease: Implementation effort required
💡 Pro Tip: Score each factor 1-10, multiply for total. Focus on high-impact, high-confidence, easy-to-implement tests first.

A/B Testing Best Practices
⚠️ Critical Mistakes: Testing too many variables at once, stopping tests early, ignoring segment differences, and not documenting learnings are the most common CRO failures.
- Test one variable at a time for clear results
- Wait for statistical significance (95%+ confidence)
- Ensure adequate sample size before concluding
- Run tests for full business cycles (weekdays + weekends)
- Segment results by device, traffic source, user type
- Document every test—wins AND losses
