  1. High Potential, Low Effort: Opportunities that require minimal effort to implement, but have the potential to yield high returns (e.g. changing the color of a call-to-action button)
  2. High Potential, High Effort: Opportunities that require more effort to implement, but have the potential to yield high returns (e.g. creating a new landing page with more engaging content)

What is the purpose of the Conversion Rate Optimization Matrix?

The Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) Matrix is a 2x2 matrix used to analyze and optimize the conversion rate of a business. It helps to identify areas of improvement and prioritize actions to increase the conversion rate. The matrix is divided into four quadrants, each representing a different area of focus.

The top-left quadrant is labeled “High Potential, Low Effort” and is used to identify opportunities that require minimal effort to implement, but have the potential to yield high returns. For example, a business might identify an opportunity to increase conversion rate by simply changing the color of a call-to-action button.

The top-right quadrant is labeled “High Potential, High Effort” and is used to identify opportunities that require more effort to implement, but have the potential to yield high returns. For example, a business might identify an opportunity to increase conversion rate by creating a new landing page with more engaging content.

The bottom-left quadrant is labeled “Low Potential, Low Effort” and is used to identify opportunities that require minimal effort to implement, but have the potential to yield low returns. For example, a business might identify an opportunity to increase conversion rate by changing the font size of a call-to-action button.

The bottom-right quadrant is labeled “Low Potential, High Effort” and is used to identify opportunities that require more effort to implement, but have the potential to yield low returns.
