Breaking Down How to Boost Website Conversion: Audit, UX, Forms, Content, and A/B Testing. Practical Steps and Our Studio’s Approach to Driving Leads and Sales.
Most companies spend money to attract traffic, but they lose customers on the site. A low conversion rate means that users come in, watch, and leave without leaving a request or buying. In this article, we'll look at how to systematically increase website conversion, what mistakes hinder sales, and what tools really work in 2024.

What is a website conversion and how to calculate it correctly

The conversion rate of a website is the percentage of users who performed a targeted action: they left a request, placed an order, subscribed to the newsletter, and signed up for the service. Without understanding the current conversion rate and its structure, it is impossible to manage sales through a website.

The basic conversion formula:

Conversion rate (%) = (Number of targeted actions / Number of visitors) × 100

It is important to count not only the total conversion, but also conversions by funnel stages.:

This way you will see exactly where users are "flowing out" and which areas should be targeted to increase conversion.

Why the conversion rate is low: typical problems

Before improving anything, you need to honestly fix the initial situation. In 90% of cases, low conversion is the result of not one problem, but a combination of problems.:

Our studio always starts work on increasing conversions with analytics: usability audits, heat maps, user path analysis, download speed and mobile version estimation. This allows you not to "shoot blindly", but to make accurate decisions.

Step 1. Specify the value proposition and the key offer

The conversion rate directly depends on how quickly and clearly the user understands what they will receive and why it is beneficial for you. The main screen (hero section) is a critical area.

Check if there is on the first screen:

Example: instead of the abstract "We create modern websites" — "We will increase the conversion rate of your site by 30-70% in 2-3 months due to UX audits, A/B tests and improvements without loss of traffic."

In our studio, we often see that replacing vague formulations with specific benefits results in a 10-25% increase in conversion without any technical improvements.

Step 2. Simplify the user's path and website structure

The user is not required to understand your logic. The structure and navigation should be intuitive: a maximum of 2-3 clicks to the target action.

What to pay attention to:

A case study from the studio's practice: the client has an online store with good traffic, but low order conversion. We have shortened the path from the product card to the payment from 5 steps to 3, and removed unnecessary fields and secondary blocks. The checkout conversion rate increased by 41% in the first month, without additional investment in advertising.

Step 3. Build trust: Social Proof and Transparency

Trust is a key factor, especially in highly competitive niches. Even perfectly configured traffic will not be converted if the site looks unreliable.

What enhances trust and influences conversion:

At the studio, we always include trust blocks in prototypes: cases, portfolios, customer logos, and responses to objections. In B2B, this often results in a 1.5–2 fold increase in the number of applications.

Step 4. Optimize the forms and the basket: less friction — more requests

The shapes and the basket are the most sensitive points. Any friction (an extra field, an incomprehensible error, mandatory registration) hits the conversion rate.

Optimization recommendations:

An example of refactoring the form: we removed the required fields "Company", "Website", "City" from the application form, leaving only the name, phone number and e‑mail. The remaining questions were transferred to the manager's communication stage. The number of form submissions increased by 62%.

Step 5. Speed up your website and adapt it to mobile devices

Download speed and mobile version are not only an SEO factor, but also a direct conversion driver. According to industry data, a download delay of just 1 second can reduce conversion by 7-10%.

Key actions:

In the technical optimization of customer sites, we see that conversion gains after acceleration and improvement of the mobile version often amount to 15-30%, especially in e‑commerce and services with active mobile traffic.

Step 6. Use strong calls to action (CTAs) and logical layout

Even if the offer is strong, the user must understand exactly what to do next. The CTA should be visible, specific, and logical in the context.

Practice shows that appeals work better.:

Place your key CTAs:

When developing landing pages and corporate websites, our studio always studies the CTA map: where, which buttons, and in what order lead the user through the funnel. This results in predictable conversion growth without "aggressive" techniques.

Step 7. A/B tests and analytics: not to guess, but to check

Intuition and "it seems to me" are dangerous when working with conversion. Any changes should be checked using A/B tests and end‑to-end analytics.

What makes sense to test:

Example: for one of the clients, our studio tested two versions of the first screen: a general marketing slogan vs a specific offer with numbers. The option with numbers gave +34% to the applications. Without the A/B test, we would not have known this and would have fixed a less effective option.

Step 8. Content that sells: texts, benefits, responses to objections

Conversion is not only about design and UX, but also about content. Strong text helps the user make a decision, removes doubts and leads to action.

The structure of the selling content on the page:

In our studio, UX editors and marketers work on such texts: we do not write "water", but focus on the client's pain, benefits and understandable structure. This greatly increases the conversion rate even with the same design.

Step 9. How our studio helps to systematically increase website conversion

Increasing conversion is not a one—time "text edit" or just a redesign. This is a systematic work at the intersection of marketing, analytics, design and development.

A typical studio approach to increasing conversions:

Advantages of working with a studio:

Conclusion: how to start conversion growth now

To increase the conversion rate of a website means to earn more from the same traffic. This is one of the most cost-effective growth tools, especially if you are already investing in SEO and advertising.

A short plan of action:

If you don't need "cosmetics", but a predictable increase in conversions and applications, our studio team can take over the full cycle: from auditing and prototyping to implementing and configuring analytics.
