January 16, 2020 Conversion Rate Optimization

Conversion rate optimization is a tool which has long been used in B2C enterprises to encourage a higher rate of conversions from the leads which the company is able to bring in.

In terms of B2B companies like those in the industrial sector however, understanding conversion rates is a lot more complex and far less reliable, mainly due to the fact that business buyers invest much more time in research than consumers, which leaves it more difficult to identify a benchmark for companies in the industrial sector in terms of a conversion rate. With this being said however, improved metrics and better research have more than indicated that businesses can still count on many benefits when they invest the and effort into conversion rate optimization, and here are just some of those benefits which industrial companies can expect.

Get Ahead of the Competition

As mentioned in the intro, it had been difficult to nail down true conversion rates based on the amount of research and comparison that businesses make.

If your competitors are not using CRO, you can get the jump on them and eat up some valuable market share.

Lower Cost Per Lead

Count on Some Free SEO Advertising

Growing a Customer Base

Furthermore conversion rate optimization will not only help to secure clients, but as word of mouth travels you may find that customer base growing exponentially.

Increased Brand Perception

Landing on a page which directs you to exactly what you are looking for really gives the indication that this is a company which has grasped how best to help its clients. Conversion rate optimization works best when it is used to increase the efficiency and the overall look of a website, so much so that it is becomes shareable. Brand power is huge in both the B2C world and B2B world, and CRO can offer you another benefit when it comes to building that brand.

This money will come from direct sales, exponential growth, increase of brand power, money saved on advertising and the ability to take on and beat your competitors.

If you haven’t already considered investing in conversion rate optimization then you can see here the benefits that you could very well be missing out on.
