Are you paying for ads and getting visitors… but sales aren’t increasing? 😓
If this is happening to you, the problem isn’t the number of visitors, but how you convert them into customers.
The Direct Answer (SGE-Optimized):
Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) is the process of testing and improving website pages (like buttons, forms, text) to convert visitors into customers. In the Saudi market, applying CRO strategies can double sales without increasing advertising spend.

Definition of CRO (Focus Keyphrase: Conversion Rate Optimization CRO)
CRO = A set of simple, smart improvements that turn a visitor into a customer.
Sometimes, just changing a button color or simplifying a registration form can significantly increase sales.
The Difference Between Increasing Visitors and Increasing Conversions
Practical Example:
1000 visitors × 1% conversion rate = 10 sales.
After CRO improvements: Same 1000 visitors × 3% conversion rate = 30 sales.
The Importance of CRO in the Saudi Market
Digital ad costs (Google, Snapchat, TikTok) are rising.
Saudi companies must focus on increasing returns from the same visitors rather than increasing spending.
Key Elements That Affect Conversion Rate
The Call To Action (CTA)
Placement: Above the Fold.
Color: Contrasting colors (Green and Blue are common in the Saudi market).
Text: Clear phrases: “Order Now,” “Book Your Appointment.”
Example: A green “Order Now” button yielded a 15% higher conversion rate than a blue one.
User Experience (UX) and Ease of Navigation
Complicated website = customer leaves quickly.
Simple, fast website = customer completes the purchase.
| Element | Poor Experience | Improved Experience |
|---|---|---|
| Registration Form | 10 required fields | Only 3 fields (Name + Email + Phone) |
| Product Page | Long, unformatted text | Quick bullet points + clear images |
| Payment | Limited methods | Mada + STC Pay + Apple Pay |
Trust and Credibility (E-E-A-T)
Genuine customer reviews.
Testimonials and photos of Saudi customers.
Providing local payment methods like Mada and STC Pay.
Site Speed and Security
Every 1-second delay in page load = 7% drop in conversion rate.
SSL certificate is essential for building customer trust.
How to Apply A/B Testing to Increase Conversions?
What is A/B Testing?
Testing two versions of the same element to see which performs better.
Example: Headline “Book Your Consultation” VS “Start Your Success Today”.
Practical Steps for Applying A/B Testing
Define the goal (increase clicks, form submissions, completed purchases).
Choose the element (button, headline, image).
Design two versions: A and B.
Split traffic 50/50 between the versions.
Analyze the results after a sufficient period.
Common Testing Tools
Google Optimize (Discontinued – Alternatives: Convert, VWO).
VWO.
Optimizely.
A Practical Saudi Example
A Saudi fashion e-store tested:
Version A: One large main image.
Version B: Multiple images from different angles.
Result: Conversion rate increased by 25% in Version B.
Real-World Examples from the Saudi Market
E-stores
A cosmetics store increased conversions after adding a clearer CTA: “Try Now”.
Service Websites (Clinics, Training, Restaurants)
Improved booking forms → Reduced form abandonment by 30%.
