Low Conversion Rate

Website getting traffic but failing to convert visitors into leads or customers. Low conversion rates mean your marketing spend is being wasted on a site that doesn't close.

What You're Seeing

  • Conversion rate below 2% despite decent traffic
  • Contact forms rarely submitted
  • High cart abandonment rate for e-commerce

Why This Happens

  • 1
    Weak or unclear value proposition on the page
  • 2
    Too many steps or fields in the conversion process
  • 3
    No trust signals (testimonials, reviews, security badges)
  • 4
    Call-to-action buttons hard to find or unconvincing

How We Fix It

Our senior engineers follow this systematic approach to resolve the issue quickly and permanently.

Value Proposition: State exactly what you offer and why it matters in the first viewport — no scrolling required.

Simplify Forms: Reduce form fields to the minimum needed. Name, email, and one description field is usually enough.

Add Trust: Include customer testimonials, case studies, security badges, and guarantees near your CTA.

CTA Optimization: Make buttons large, high-contrast, and action-oriented ('Get My Free Quote' beats 'Submit').

Remove Friction: Eliminate unnecessary steps between landing and converting.

Preventing This Issue

Run A/B tests on CTAs and forms monthly, track micro-conversions (scroll depth, clicks), use heatmaps to see where visitors drop off, survey visitors who don't convert.
