This guide on conversion rate optimization is for people new to it. It’s also important to note right off the bat: we’re not really optimizing for conversion RATE, but business growth.
If higher conversion rate would be our sole objective, we could lower all our prices to $0.01 – conversion rate would go instantly up, but we would go out of business.
