The basics

What Is a CRO Audit?

A Conversion Rate Optimisation audit is a detailed review of your website to find what stops visitors from completing important actions, such as purchases, enquiries, calls or bookings.

An audit does not automatically raise conversion rates. It finds opportunities you can test and measure.

What our audit may cover

  • Landing page effectiveness
  • Navigation and usability
  • User journey analysis
  • Conversion funnel performance
  • CTA placement and messaging
  • Contact and enquiry forms
  • Ecommerce checkout experience
  • Mobile responsiveness
  • Page speed and technical usability
  • Website trust signals
  • Analytics and conversion tracking
  • Competitor experience analysis

Traffic and conversion work best together. If you also need more qualified visitors, see our SEO services.

Why CRO

Why Does Your Business Need a CRO Audit?

If traffic is not taking meaningful action, your marketing investment is not delivering its full potential.

1

Find out why visitors don’t convert

Unclear service info, long forms and extra checkout steps are easy to miss as the site owner. We review it as a visitor.

2

Get more from existing traffic

Improving the experience of relevant visitors you already have is often a more practical start than buying more traffic.

3

Improve the user experience

Confusing menus, inconsistent layouts and unclear buttons interrupt the journey. We find and rank them.

4

Locate funnel problems

Whether it is product to cart to purchase or landing page to form to enquiry, we see where people drop off.

5

Decide using data

High traffic with low conversions is a different problem from low engagement. We read data alongside the real experience.

What we examine

Our CRO Audit Services

Each audit is tailored to your website, audience and business goals.

01

Website Conversion Audit

How well your site encourages visitors to take meaningful actions.

  • Homepage effectiveness
  • Service and product page clarity
  • Navigation and menu structure
  • CTA visibility and messaging
  • Content hierarchy
  • Trust and credibility elements
  • User journey consistency
  • Mobile usability and contact options

Example: a service page explains what you do but not who it is for, what is included or how to start.

02

Landing Page CRO Audit

A visitor who clicks an ad or result expects the page to match what was promised.

  • Headline and value proposition
  • Message match with campaigns
  • Supporting content and benefits
  • Layout and visual hierarchy
  • CTA placement and wording
  • Form design and objections
  • Testimonials and trust signals
  • Mobile experience and loading

Running ads? Our Google Ads management pairs well with landing page fixes.

03

User Experience (UX) Audit

How visitors navigate your site and complete tasks without unnecessary difficulty.

  • Navigation and information architecture
  • Layout and visual hierarchy
  • Content readability
  • Button and link clarity
  • Menu and mobile navigation
  • Accessibility considerations
  • Interaction consistency
  • Form usability and error feedback

Example: if visitors cross several unrelated pages to find contact details, the navigation needs a clearer structure.

04

Conversion Funnel Audit

Visitors take different paths. We use conversion data to find friction points.

  • Product page visits
  • Add-to-cart activity
  • Cart abandonment
  • Checkout initiation and payment
  • Landing page visits and CTA clicks
  • Form starts and submissions
  • Booking completion
  • Qualified enquiries where CRM data exists

Why it helps: you fix the weak step instead of redesigning everything without a reason.

05

Call-to-Action (CTA) Audit

A button is not effective just because it is visible. Wording, placement and relevance all matter.

  • Button wording
  • CTA visibility
  • Placement within the page
  • Consistency across sections
  • Visual hierarchy
  • Relevance to the offer
  • Mobile accessibility
  • Conversion paths

Example: someone still researching may prefer a consultation invite over an aggressive purchase message.

06

Form Optimisation Audit

Complicated forms discourage visitors. Unclear labels and no next-step info add friction.

  • Number of fields
  • Required versus optional information
  • Field labels and instructions
  • Error messages and validation
  • Mobile form usability
  • Layout and CTA wording
  • Confirmation messages
  • Submission tracking and follow-up

Example: a simple consultation request needs less information than a detailed project brief.

07

Ecommerce CRO Audit

Small usability problems can interrupt the whole purchase journey.

  • Product page content
  • Images and information
  • Pricing presentation
  • Variations and availability
  • Add-to-cart and cart experience
  • Checkout steps and payment options
  • Shipping and return information
  • Trust indicators and mobile shopping

Also reviewed: ecommerce analytics, to see where shoppers abandon the process.

08

Mobile Conversion Audit

A site that works on desktop can feel completely different on a phone.

  • Responsive layouts
  • Text size and readability
  • Button size and spacing
  • Mobile navigation
  • Form usability
  • Product browsing and checkout
  • Page loading behaviour
  • Content visibility

Goal: visitors can complete key actions on any device.

09

Website Trust and Credibility Audit

Visitors want reassurance before they contact you or buy.

  • About and company information
  • Contact details
  • Genuine testimonials and reviews
  • Verifiable case studies
  • Team information and credentials
  • Service policies
  • Payment and security information
  • Clear pricing or offer details

Our rule: no fabricated reviews, false guarantees or misleading badges. Credibility must be verifiable.

10

Analytics and Conversion Tracking Audit

You cannot judge conversion performance if tracking is incomplete or wrong.

  • Google Analytics 4 configuration
  • Google Tag Manager setup
  • Conversion event tracking
  • Contact form tracking
  • Ecommerce purchase tracking
  • CTA click events
  • Booking and registration events
  • Cross-domain, duplicate and missing events

Result: a trustworthy base for measuring future CRO improvements.

11

Website Performance and Technical Usability Audit

A slow or technically difficult site interrupts the journey. We prioritise issues on your important conversion pages and base fixes on real findings, not assumptions that every site needs the same changes.

  • Page loading performance
  • Core Web Vitals
  • Image optimisation
  • Unnecessary scripts
  • Mobile responsiveness
  • Broken links and buttons
  • Browser compatibility
  • Form functionality
  • Navigation errors
  • Important interaction issues

Focus: technical issues that actually affect conversions.

How it works

Our CRO Audit Process

A useful audit needs more than design suggestions. It needs an understanding of your business, visitors and goals.

  1. Business and goal discovery

    We define what a valuable action means for you, from completed purchases to qualified enquiries.

  2. Website and data collection

    We review the site and gather GA4, Tag Manager, Search Console, heatmap, recording and CRM data where available.

  3. Journey and conversion analysis

    We trace how visitors move through key pages and spot unclear info, weak CTAs, hard forms and device gaps.

  4. Technical and UX evaluation

    We assess usability, performance and interactions as someone unfamiliar with your business would.

  5. Findings and opportunities

    We group findings into usability issues, friction, content, tracking and test ideas, with the reason each matters.

  6. Prioritised recommendations

    We rank by conversion impact, confidence, effort and business importance.

  7. Reporting and next steps

    You get the report with findings, supporting observations and actions. We can also discuss implementation, A/B testing, landing page improvements and ongoing CRO.

Honest expectations

What Results Can You Expect?

The audit can reveal confusing navigation, weak messaging, difficult forms, checkout friction, missing trust information or tracking problems. Fixing them may create a smoother experience, but the audit alone does not raise conversion rates.

Outcomes depend on what you implement, visitor behaviour, traffic quality, offer relevance and competition. We recommend testing important changes when traffic and measurement allow.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About CRO Audits

What is a CRO Audit?

It is a detailed assessment of a website to find issues that may stop visitors completing important actions. It covers landing pages, user experience, navigation, forms, funnels, analytics and other conversion factors.

What does a CRO Audit include?

It may include usability analysis, landing page reviews, funnel analysis, CTA and form reviews, mobile checks, ecommerce checkout analysis, technical performance and tracking assessment. Scope depends on your site and goals.

Why does my website need a CRO Audit?

If your site gets traffic but fewer enquiries, purchases or bookings than expected, an audit can show how visitors interact with it and which areas need improvement.

How long does a CRO Audit take?

It depends on site size, number of key pages, available analytics and conversion complexity. A small lead generation site needs less than a large store. We confirm scope and timeline before starting.

Can a CRO Audit increase my conversion rate?

An audit identifies opportunities that may improve conversions. Results depend on whether recommendations are implemented and how visitors respond. Testing and ongoing measurement show what works.

Do I need Google Analytics for a CRO Audit?

GA4 gives valuable traffic, activity and conversion data and makes the audit more detailed. Some usability issues can still be found through manual reviews and other tools.

Do you use heatmaps and session recordings?

Where suitable tools and permissions exist, we can review heatmaps and recordings to spot interaction patterns and usability issues, with privacy and consent requirements in mind.

Is a CRO Audit suitable for ecommerce websites?

Yes. We review product pages, carts, checkout steps, payment options, product information and mobile shopping to find barriers to completed purchases.

What is the difference between CRO and SEO?

SEO improves visibility in organic search and attracts relevant visitors. CRO improves the site experience so more of those visitors complete valuable actions. They work well together.

Do you implement the CRO recommendations?

The audit delivers findings and recommendations. Implementation can be discussed separately, including landing page redesign, site improvements, form optimisation, A/B testing and ongoing CRO support.

How much does a CRO Audit cost?

It depends on site size, number of pages, conversion journey complexity, available data and audit requirements. Contact Brandleap Agency to discuss your site and receive a suitable scope.

How often should I conduct a CRO Audit?

It depends on how often your site changes and how important conversions are. Redesigns, new campaigns, checkout changes or noticeable drops are good reasons for another audit. Ongoing monitoring can reveal new opportunities.
