Spending Less on Ads
Getting someone to visit your website is a big win—but it’s not the finish line. What really matters is what they do once they arrive. Do they call you? Fill out a form? Make a purchase? Or do they leave without doing anything? If you're spending time or money to bring people to your site, and they’re not taking action, you’re leaving money on the table. That’s where Conversion Rate Optimization, or CRO, comes in. At Virginia SEO Pros, we help businesses like yours turn more visitors into leads, customers, and sales—without needing more traffic or money on paid ads. Instead of just getting you more people, we make sure the people who are already showing up actually do something.
What is CRO, Really?
Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) is just a fancy term for improving your website or app so more people do what you want them to do—like buy, book, call, or sign up.
We study how real people use your site, figure out what’s stopping them from taking action, and make data-driven changes that help them say yes more often.
And best of all—it improves your return on investment (ROI). That means you get more business out of the traffic and marketing you’re already paying for.
Your Business Deserves Better Than Guesswork
Most business owners don’t realize their website could be working harder for them. You don’t need to throw more money at ads—you just need to make the most of the visitors you already have.
That’s the power of CRO. It’s about doing more with less, and turning traffic into action.
At Virginia SEO Pros, we’ll dig into how people are using your site, find out what’s holding them back, and give you a strategy that works. And yes, we guarantee you’ll see improvement in your results—whether it’s more phone calls, form fills, or purchases.
From Losing Money to Profitable Growth
Meet Lisa.
Lisa owned a small but growing e-commerce skincare brand that sold a high-end wrinkle cream for $80 a bottle. Her product worked, customers loved it, and she was pouring $500 a day into online ads to get more eyes on it. The goal? Drive as many sales as possible through Facebook and Google Ads.
But there was a problem.
Her cost per conversion (CPA)—what she had to spend just to get one person to buy—was $97.
That meant for every bottle she sold, she was losing $17.
It didn’t take long for Lisa to realize: she was spending thousands of dollars every week to lose money.
She was frustrated, confused, and ready to pull the plug on advertising altogether.
When More Traffic Isn’t the Answer
Lisa thought she needed better ads. She kept testing new headlines, tweaking the targeting, and trying different creative—but nothing worked. Her ad clicks were fine, but sales just weren’t following.
That’s when she came to us at Virginia SEO Pros, wondering if she should just lower her prices or completely redesign her website.
We told her: Let’s not throw it all out yet.
The problem wasn’t the product. It wasn’t the price. And it wasn’t the ads.
It was what happened after someone clicked.
The Real Problem: Visitors Were Confused, Distracted, or Leaving
When we ran a CRO audit on her website, a few things stood out right away:
The product page was too busy, with long blocks of text and no clear value statement at the top.
The “Add to Cart” button was buried way below the fold on mobile.
The checkout process had too many steps, causing people to bail halfway through.
There were no trust signals—like reviews, guarantees, or before-and-after photos—to give customers confidence.
Her landing page didn’t match the ad messaging, so visitors got confused and dropped off.
In short, people were clicking the ad, but once they landed on the page… they weren’t sure what to do, why it mattered, or if they could trust it. So they left.
The Fix: Small Changes, Big Results
We rolled out a step-by-step Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) plan that didn’t require a full website rebuild—just smart, focused changes.
The Results: A 55% Drop in Cost Per Sale
Within 30 days, Lisa’s cost per conversion dropped from $97 to just $44—a 55% improvement.
Now, for every $500 she spent, she wasn’t losing money—she was turning a profit.
Her return on ad spend (ROAS) flipped from negative to predictably positive, and she was finally able to scale her campaigns with confidence. Same ads. Same product. Just a smarter website experience.
Here’s how we do it:
Retargeting: Stay Top-of-Mind
A/B Testing: Let the Data Decide
Website Speed Optimization
