Important Disclaimer: Results and recommendations discussed during strategy calls are based on preliminary analysis and may change upon deeper investigation. Past client performance does not guarantee future results. All ROI projections are estimates based on historical data and may not reflect your specific outcomes.
Most CRO agencies provide generic audits with limited follow-through.
We invest an hours analyzing your actual data, identifying your biggest conversion bottleneck, and explaining exactly what we'd tackle first.
No generic recommendations. No templated playbook. Honest insights about where you're potentially losing revenue and what it would take to address it.
Consultation Disclaimer: The strategy call provides preliminary assessment only. Actual engagement scope, pricing, and projected outcomes will be detailed in a formal proposal. We reserve the right to decline engagements where we don't believe we can deliver meaningful ROI.
A CRO strategy call is a working session where we examine your conversion funnel, identify where visitors are abandoning, and analyze why. We review your revenue, traffic patterns, and transaction data to understand what improvements may be achievable.
By the call's conclusion, you'll understand:
You'll receive actionable insights regardless of whether you engage our services.
Our CRO strategy calls are designed for specific business profiles.
They're specifically for Shopify and ecommerce brands generating at least $250,000/month in revenue. Below that threshold, traffic volume typically doesn't support the statistical requirements for professional CRO investment.
You're likely a good fit if:
You're probably not ready if you're still establishing product-market fit or struggling to drive consistent traffic.
Consultation Scope Disclaimer: The strategy call provides preliminary analysis based on limited data review during a 45-60 minute session. Recommendations are subject to change upon deeper investigation. This is not a comprehensive audit and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for major business decisions.
The first objective is identifying your Metric on Fire.
That's the funnel point where visitors abandon at unusually high rates. The location where intervention would likely have the most significant bottom-line impact.
For some stores, it's product page to add-to-cart rate. For others, it's cart abandonment or checkout completion. For subscription businesses, it might be trial-to-paid conversion.
We don't attempt to optimize everything simultaneously. We identify the highest-priority bottleneck, then develop a strategy to address it.
During the call, we'll examine your complete conversion funnel together.
We're analyzing where traffic enters, how it navigates your site, and-most importantly-where it disappears. We want to understand not just the metrics, but the behavioral drivers behind them.
Why are visitors bouncing from product pages? Why are they abandoning carts? Why aren't they completing checkout?
This extends beyond reviewing Google Analytics dashboards. It requires investigative analysis.
We need to understand your metrics to provide realistic expectations.
What's your monthly revenue? What traffic volume are you receiving? How many transactions per day? What's your current conversion rate?
These numbers inform how aggressively we can test, how quickly we can achieve statistical significance, and what kind of ROI is realistically achievable.
A $300K/month store requires a different strategic approach than a $3M/month operation. Both conversations are valuable, but they're fundamentally different.
By the call's conclusion, you'll see what a potential 90-day roadmap would look like for your store.
Not a generic template. A specific, customized plan based on your Metric on Fire and what we learned about your funnel.
We'll explain what research we'd conduct first, what tests we'd prioritize, and the reasoning behind our approach. You'll understand the strategic logic, not just receive a task list.
Revenue Threshold Disclaimer: The $250,000/month minimum is based on our experience achieving statistical validity for A/B testing within reasonable timeframes. This threshold is not an absolute rule and individual circumstances vary. Some businesses below this threshold may still benefit from CRO depending on their specific traffic patterns, conversion rates, and transaction volumes. This threshold applies specifically to our methodology and service model.
The practical reality: if you're generating less than $250,000/month in revenue, professional CRO typically doesn't deliver sufficient ROI to justify the investment timeline.
This doesn't diminish your business's value or suggest you can't improve conversions. At lower revenue levels, you're typically better served investing resources in other business areas.
Focus on driving more traffic. Solidify your product-market fit. Address obvious conversion issues internally. Reach that $250K/month threshold, then reconsider.
Once you're consistently at or above $250K/month, CRO often becomes one of the highest-ROI investments available.
Revenue is one threshold. Traffic and transaction volume represent another.
A/B testing requires statistical significance. That means you need sufficient transactions to confidently determine "this version performed better than that version."
With 20 orders daily, tests require extended timeframes. With 200 orders daily, we can iterate rapidly.
During the strategy call, we'll review your traffic and transaction data to determine realistic timelines. Sometimes a store at $250K/month doesn't yet have adequate transaction volume. We'll communicate that honestly.
Once you cross $1,000,000/month in revenue, CRO's value proposition becomes mathematically hard to ignore.
At this level, even conservative conversion improvements translate to substantial revenue. A 10% lift generates an additional $1.2M annually.
If we determine mutual fit after the call, we'll create a detailed proposal specifically for your store.
This isn't a template document. It's a custom 90-day roadmap based on your Metric on Fire and insights from our consultation.
You'll see exactly what research methods we'd deploy, what tests we'd prioritize, what timeline is realistic, and what it would cost.
No surprises. No vague promises. Clear strategic direction.
ROI Disclaimer: All ROI projections are estimates based on historical client performance. Individual results vary significantly based on multiple factors including traffic volume, existing conversion rates, market conditions, competitive dynamics, and implementation quality. These projections should not be considered guarantees.
We'll provide conservative ROI estimates based on your current metrics.
Our client portfolio averages 5-7:1 ROI over 12-month periods. Our higher performance reflects selective engagement criteria, research-intensive methodology (80% research allocation vs. typical 20%), and strategic focus on businesses with documented optimization opportunities.
Your specific situation might project higher or lower depending on your current conversion rate and available improvement opportunities.
We'll communicate honestly. If we don't believe we can deliver meaningful ROI, we'll tell you directly. We're building long-term relationships, not closing every prospective engagement.
Performance disclaimer: Our 5-7:1 returns reflect work with established ecommerce operations exceeding $250K monthly revenue. Individual results vary based on traffic volume, existing conversion baselines, market dynamics, and implementation consistency. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Timeline Disclaimer: The 90-day timeline represents our standard target based on typical client scenarios. Actual timelines may vary based on your specific traffic volume, technical implementation requirements, stakeholder approval processes, and unforeseen challenges. ROI positive status within 90 days is a goal, not a guarantee.
Our proposals focus on the first 90 days because that's when you'll see whether the methodology is working.
We target ROI positive performance by day 90. That means additional revenue from improvements exceeds your investment. From there, results typically compound as validated improvements stack multiplicatively.
The 90-day roadmap details exactly what we'd tackle in months 1, 2, and 3. What research happens when. What tests get prioritized. What milestones to expect.
If you want to proceed, excellent. If you need time to review or consult your team, equally acceptable.
There's no pressure. No artificial urgency tactics.
Most clients take one to two weeks to review proposals and make decisions. Some take longer. Some are ready to start immediately. All timeframes work.
During your strategy call, you'll notice we emphasize understanding your customers as people.
That's intentional.
Most CRO agencies focus on tactics: "test this button color," "try this headline." We focus on understanding why your customers behave the way they do.
What concerns them? What information are they missing? What's preventing them from trusting you enough to purchase?
Technical fixes are straightforward. Understanding human behavior is challenging. But it's also where meaningful revenue impact originates.
You'll hear us reference the 80/20 allocation consistently.
80% of our effort goes into research. Actually understanding your customers through interviews, surveys, session recordings, support tickets, and more.
Only 20% goes to A/B testing. Because we've conducted systematic research, our test win rates typically exceed industry averages.
We're not hypothesizing what might work. We're addressing problems your customers have already articulated.
The entire strategy call centers on identifying your Metric on Fire.
We don't believe in attempting to optimize everything simultaneously. That typically produces mediocre results across the board instead of breakthrough results where they matter most.
We identify the biggest bottleneck in your funnel, focus systematically on addressing it, then advance to the next priority.
This focused approach is why we can target ROI within 90 days rather than requesting you wait a year.
Research Methods Disclaimer: Not all research methods are appropriate or feasible for every client engagement. The specific methods deployed depend on your business model, available data, budget, timeline, and customer base characteristics. Some methods may require additional investment or extended timelines.
During the call, we'll discuss the different research methods we'd deploy for your store.
The comprehensive list includes:
Not every method suits every store. We'll explain which ones make strategic sense for your situation and why.
Case Study Disclaimer: The following case studies represent specific client outcomes achieved under particular market conditions and circumstances. These results are not typical and should not be interpreted as guarantees of similar performance. Individual results depend on numerous factors including but not limited to: traffic quality, existing conversion rates, market competitiveness, product-market fit, implementation consistency, and external market conditions. Your results may be significantly higher or lower.
During Carnivore Snax's strategy call, we identified their Metric on Fire: customers weren't purchasing sufficient quantity per order.
Research revealed that people didn't understand variety pack value propositions. They were treating it like a commodity when they should have been excited about sampling multiple flavors.
We restructured product pages around variety, added specific social proof, and simplified bundle selection.
Result: 11.7% increase in average revenue per user within 90 days.
Individual client result. Your specific performance will vary based on traffic patterns, market dynamics, and existing conversion baselines.
Frame My TV's strategy call uncovered significant mobile performance issues.
Desktop converted adequately. Mobile demonstrated systematic underperformance. Their Metric on Fire was mobile add-to-cart rate.
Customer interviews revealed exactly why: people couldn't effectively visualize the product on mobile, and the customization flow created unnecessary friction.
We rebuilt the mobile experience with enhanced imagery and simplified customization.
Result: 47.3% increase in mobile add-to-cart rate.
Individual client result. Your specific performance will vary based on traffic patterns, market dynamics, and existing conversion baselines.
Grubbly Farms sought higher subscription customer acquisition for their premium chicken feed.
Their Metric on Fire was subscription take rate. Customers valued the product but hesitated to commit without trial experience first.
We restructured the subscription offer to emphasize flexibility and added experience-specific testimonials.
Result: 27.9% increase in subscription take rate.
Individual client result. Your specific performance will vary based on traffic patterns, market dynamics, and existing conversion baselines.
What is included in a CRO consultation?
We'll examine your conversion funnel to identify your Metric on Fire-the point where visitors abandon at unusually high rates. We'll review your revenue, traffic, and transaction data to confirm you meet the $250K/month minimum threshold. You'll receive specific insights about where you're potentially losing revenue and what a 90-day roadmap focused on your biggest bottleneck might look like. Whether you engage our services or not, you'll have actionable information.
How long does a CRO strategy call take?
Plan for 45-60 minutes. That's adequate time to properly review your funnel, discuss your specific challenges, understand your business goals, and outline what our research-intensive approach would look like for your store. This is a substantive working session, not a rushed template presentation.
What do I need to prepare for my conversion optimization consultation?
Have access to your analytics-specifically revenue, traffic, and transaction numbers. Your current monthly revenue is essential since we work with brands at $250K/month minimum. If you can access your conversion funnel data (where people enter, where they abandon), that's helpful. Be prepared to discuss honestly where you think the problems exist. You understand your business better than we do at this preliminary stage.
Is there really no obligation after the CRO consultation?
Zero obligation. This is a genuine consultation, not a high-pressure sales presentation. We'll share honest assessment about whether CRO makes strategic sense for your business currently. If you're not at the revenue threshold or don't have adequate traffic, we'll communicate that directly. We're building long-term relationships, so we only engage with brands where we believe we can deliver meaningful ROI. If that's not your situation yet, we'll suggest what to focus on instead.
What happens after my CRO strategy call?
If we determine mutual fit, we'll create a custom proposal with a 90-day roadmap focused on your Metric on Fire. It'll detail our 80/20 approach (80% research using 11+ methods, 20% testing with minimum 3 tests per month). We'll provide conservative ROI estimates based on your metrics and explain how we target ROI positive performance within 90 days, with larger results typically compounding over 6-12 months. Then you decide whether to proceed. No pressure. No manufactured urgency.
What kind of businesses do you typically work with?
We work primarily with established Shopify and ecommerce brands generating $250K+ monthly revenue. Our commitment to 3+ tests per month positions clients in the top quartile of testing velocity.
How do you determine pricing?
Our specific pricing reflects your revenue level, traffic volume, transaction count, and funnel complexity. We provide detailed pricing in the custom proposal following your strategy call.
Schedule a CRO Conversion Audit and we'll show you exactly where your funnel demonstrates the most significant abandonment and what it would take to address it.
No obligation. No sales pressure. Honest insights about your conversion opportunities.

No games. No gimmicks. Substantive conversation about real opportunities.
IMPORTANT: Past performance does not guarantee future results. While our client portfolio demonstrates average 5-7:1 ROI over 12-month periods, individual client results vary significantly and may be substantially higher or lower depending on numerous factors beyond our control.
Factors affecting individual results include but are not limited to:
The specific client results cited in this document (Carnivore Snax 11.7% ARPU increase, Frame My TV 47.3% mobile add-to-cart improvement, Grubbly Farms 27.9% subscription rate increase) represent individual implementations under specific circumstances.
These results are NOT typical and should NOT be considered representative of what you will achieve. These case studies are provided for illustrative purposes only to demonstrate the types of optimization strategies we employ and the range of possible outcomes.
Your specific results may be:
All timeline projections (including "90-day ROI positive" targets) are goals based on historical averages, not guarantees. Actual timelines depend on:
Some clients achieve ROI positive status faster than 90 days. Others require longer periods. Some clients may not achieve positive ROI within the initial engagement period.
The $250,000/month revenue minimum is based on our experience with statistical validity requirements for A/B testing. This is guidance, not an absolute rule. Individual circumstances vary, and some businesses below this threshold may still benefit from conversion optimization depending on their specific traffic patterns and business models.
Conversely, some businesses exceeding this threshold may not be good candidates for CRO if they lack adequate transaction volume, have highly seasonal traffic, or face other structural constraints.
