Question 1

What is a conversion rate optimization consultant?

Accepted Answer

A CRO consultant analyzes your website or application to identify friction points, design experiments to test improvements, and implement data-driven changes that increase conversion rates. We combine A/B testing expertise, UX research, and statistical rigor to deliver measurable lifts in key metrics like signups, trial-to-paid conversions, and revenue.

Question 2

How much does a CRO consultant cost?

Accepted Answer

CRO consulting rates vary by engagement type. Day rates: $670–$1,610/day (UK), $800–$1,610/day (US), $800–$1,880/day (EU). Hourly rates: $200–$340/hour (UK) or $230–$370/hour (US). Project-based: $11k–$34k for strategy and initial experiments, $34k–$94k for comprehensive optimization programs. Retainers: $4k–$13k/month for ongoing experimentation cadence. Pricing depends on scope, complexity, and whether you need full-stack experimentation platform development.

Question 3

What results can I expect from CRO consulting?

Accepted Answer

Typical results include 15–35% conversion rate increases for well-executed programs. In our case studies: 18% trial-to-paid lift sustained over three quarters, 35% conversion increase for SaaS onboarding, and 27% faster experiment turnaround. Results depend on your starting point, traffic volume, and commitment to the experimentation process.

Question 4

How long does a CRO engagement take?

Accepted Answer

Initial discovery and strategy: 2–3 weeks. First experiments: 4–6 weeks (including design, implementation, and statistical significance). Comprehensive programs: 3–6 months for multiple experiment cycles and compounding wins. Most engagements start with a 3-month pilot to establish baseline and prove value.

Question 5

What's the difference between CRO and A/B testing?

Accepted Answer

A/B testing is a methodology for comparing two versions of a page or feature. CRO is the broader discipline that includes A/B testing, but also encompasses UX research, funnel analysis, user interviews, heatmaps, session replays, and strategic prioritization. We use A/B testing as the validation tool within a comprehensive CRO framework.

Question 6

Do I need technical resources for CRO consulting?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the engagement. For strategy and design-only work, you'll need engineering resources to implement experiments. For full-stack implementations, we can build experimentation platforms, feature flag systems, and analytics integrations. Many clients prefer a hybrid: we design experiments and provide implementation guidance, while your team handles deployment.

Question 7

Are you available for remote CRO consulting?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we work remotely and are available for clients worldwide. We're timezone-flexible and comfortable working with teams in the US, UK, EU, and other regions. Typical response time: 24-48 hours for project inquiries. We use modern collaboration tools (Slack, Zoom, GitHub, Figma) to ensure smooth remote collaboration. Book a call to discuss your project.

Question 8

How quickly can you start a CRO project?

Accepted Answer

We can typically start new CRO projects within 1-2 weeks of agreement. For urgent needs, we can often accommodate faster starts with a brief discovery call (24-48 hours). Initial discovery and strategy typically takes 2-3 weeks, followed by first experiments within 4-6 weeks. Book a free consultation to discuss availability and timeline for your project.
