Conducting a CRO audit

What’s included in a CRO audit: From insight to action

What is a CRO audit?

A conversion rate optimisation (CRO) audit gives you a 360-degree view of your site’s performance, helping you understand how customers experience your website and how effective your valuable marketing actually is. It’s all about getting rid of guesswork, using research and data to steer your strategy and improve conversion.

How we conduct a CRO audit

Different agencies might do it differently but at Higher Ground we start every CRO audit with a workshop. These intensive two-hour sessions can take you from initial ideas to action plan with the support and guidance of our experienced CRO experts. Following this, we can understand how to approach solving the problem of increasing conversion rates.

Getting on the same page

It’s important we all know what we’re trying to achieve and take time to define what success looks like. Whether it’s a 1% conversion uplift on your best performing page or moving more customers from browsing to booking a call, we’ll help you set your project goals, map your conversion funnel, and identify priority pages.

Analysing behaviour and gathering opinions

It’s important we all know what we’re trying to achieve and take time to define what success looks like. Whether it’s a 1% conversion uplift on your best performing page or moving more customers from browsing to booking a call, we’ll help you set your project goals, map your conversion funnel, and identify priority pages.

Finding quick wins

Now, it’s time to make changes. We’ll work with you to find friction points and eliminate bugs, blockers, and bumps in your customer journey. There’s no one-size-fits-all and our recommendations will be tailored to your business, but they could include optimising your headlines, improving call-to-actions, adding social proof, or clearing up your product image quality.

Devising a lasting strategy

For more complex conversion issues, we’ll use the research gathered to make a hypothesis and start an A/B test. It’s the easiest and most cost-effective way of tackling a page that is low converting, making sure you only implement permanent changes when you know they’ll move the needle. Simply split traffic and let your experiment run – and don’t worry, we’ll keep you updated on the results every step of the way.

CRO audit faqs

About the audit

What does a CRO audit from Higher Ground include?

Our audits start with a strategy workshop, followed by in-depth analysis of user behaviour, traffic sources, conversion funnels, and on-page performance. We identify friction points, missed opportunities, and provide clear, prioritised recommendations to increase conversions.

Who is the CRO audit for?

Our audits are ideal for marketing teams, digital agencies, or business owners who want to improve website performance, boost ROI from traffic, or prepare for a relaunch. Whether your site is underperforming or you just want to scale smarter, we tailor the audit to your goals.

Will the audit include implementation support?

Yes, if needed. While the core audit delivers a full action plan, we can also support with A/B testing, UX/UI changes, or ongoing optimisation to make sure recommendations get delivered and results are achieved.

What is an AI search–driven CRO audit?

It’s a new approach to conversion optimisation that blends traditional CRO methods with strategies tailored for how AI-powered search engines now operate. We analyse how users discover your site via tools like Google’s AI Overviews, identify friction in your user journey, and optimise pages to perform better in both organic and AI-assisted search.

Why is AI search changing how CRO works?

AI search doesn’t just look at keywords, it understands context, content structure, and user intent. This means conversion journeys often start differently. Our audit ensures your website speaks the same language as modern AI search tools while still guiding users effectively to convert.

Can this audit help us rank better in AI-powered search results?

Yes, while CRO is about converting traffic, our AI-informed audits also consider how your content is surfaced and summarised in AI-generated results. We’ll help you optimise content structure, entity relationships, and on-page signals to increase discoverability and relevance.
