CRO Insight

Seeing more traffic, but conversions aren’t following?
Here’s why and what to do about it:
When brands hit that $1M/month range, more clicks don’t always mean more conversions.
Why? Because the real bottleneck usually isn’t traffic.
It’s what you’re testing, and in what order.
Here’s what most brands do:
1. Redesign the layout
2. Swap images
3. Try a new CTA color
4. Still… no lift
The mistake?
They test what’s easy, not what’s effective.
Here’s what actually works (in order):
→ Fix the offer — Is it structured to drive urgency and AOV?
→ Remove friction — Is your flow smooth, fast, and mobile-first?
→ Sharpen the message — Does it remove doubt and build confidence?
→ Then… refine the design — Is layout guiding action, or just looking good?
Reordering your testing priorities unlocks growth. Ignoring them? That’s how brands plateau.
Want to stop testing in circles?
Start with the hierarchy that moves revenue, not pixels.
Two Overlooked PDP Tweaks Unlocked $24K/month In Extra Revenue

Here’s what we changed:
• Moved the urgency bar to the top of the PDP
• Added thumbnail images for mobile users
No funnel changes. No extra steps.
Just a better first impression.
The goal?
• Make urgency instantly visible
• Help mobile users explore faster
• Increase revenue per session
The insight was clear:
If urgency isn’t seen, it doesn’t convert. And if mobile users can’t browse easily, they bounce.
By making urgency the first thing users see - and letting mobile shoppers view more product angles with less scrolling - we helped them commit faster.
The results?
✅ +$24,000 per month
✅ +$288,000 per year (forecasted)
✅ +$6.37 revenue per session
Small UX shifts. Big revenue lift.
If your PDP hides urgency or slows down mobile shoppers, you're leaving serious money behind.
