080 - Conversion Rate Optimization You Can Do Today with Kurt Philip

In episode 80 of the SEOLeverage Podcast, Gert Mellak and Kurt Philip discuss actionable conversion rate optimization (CRO) strategies. They explore optimizing website elements like call-to-action buttons, lead magnets, and user experience, regardless of website traffic volume. The episode emphasizes practical steps for improving conversion rates and the importance of a well-designed website.

In today's episode of SEOLeverage Podcast, Gert will have a very informative conversation with the CRO guy, Kurt Philips of Convertica.co.

Business owners with online businesses often do not focus on conversion because they think that they have a product or products that people are looking for already and do not need lead generation in order to convert. This kind of inattentiveness to conversion also transcends to their website, such that there is no real call to action or where might people get in touch with them. Sometimes, too, they are rigid in giving out the fastest way of communication which is an email address, by asking people to fill out a long crappy contact form.

Well, even if you don't fall into the level of 10,000 visitors a month or at least 3000 in lead generation, you can still do Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO). Just listen until the end for insights from both Gert and Kurt and towards the end, if you feel that you may need to contact anyone of them, their contact details are mentioned. Enjoy!
