Are you chasing the right customers? In the right places? Are they ready to buy? Or are you wasting your money on tyre-kickers?
Is your offer better? Is it the right price? What extra value to your customers get? Why should they buy from you, rather than your competitor?
Is it sticky? Or do you leak customers like an old bucket? Can they see the next step? Can it load in under 3 seconds?
How easily does your site convert visitors to sales? How quickly can they purchase once they decide to buy? Have you tested it?
Using these Four Key Metrics, and our proven media model, SHOUT can help you build an online business that booms. To improve ecommerce conversion rate is just one of the Four Key Metrics your business needs to embrace to take your business from now to WOW.
Read on for a case study of one of our clients
We determined the best targets were good quality businesses looking for non-bank lending. Businesses that perform in what they do and need funds to grow, rather than businesses looking to just get through the next month. Improving the quality of leads was the first step in the process of Conversion Rate Optimisation.
The offer was simple. We’ll finance your growth. Simply. Easily. Quickly. This promise was delivered through a campaign which promised a seamless experience – so the experience delivery was as much a part of the promise as the language we used. With a better offer to a refined audience the quality of leads was vastly improved.
We needed to identify which parts of the process were underperforming and drop off rates were clearly an issue. The lengthy 6-step application process required uploads of documentation, so we needed to be able to track the drop out – to see which pages were the particular pain points – and remove those barriers. Once this was achieved, a profitable Cost Per Lead and Return on Adspend (ROAS) were achievable. Moula then agreed to increase spends in correlation to increased performance to scale up leads. We worked with Moula’s team to develop landing page wire frames, designs using an iterative process and by validating designs against tools that we detail below. Combining this with our content strategy delivered strong landing pages to go to market with. They could also be optimised as part of an ongoing CRO process.
With a lower CPL achieved it was then ensuring that leads were driving funded loans. And refining campaigns, media mix, messaging, target audience, aligning CRM data to target people were going to covert from a lead to a funded loan.
Call Tracking
So we were able to track precisely where the leads came from. To understand exactly what campaigns and what keywords are attracting funded loans.
Analytics set up and optimisation
Having the right performance data was absolutely critical in seeing where people were dropping out in the application process. This also allowed us to recognise first time visitors from returning visitors and prompt deeper engagement from returning visitors.
Identifying and plugging the leaks
Determining where people were dropping out of the application process – limiting wasted clicks. Seeing which campaigns are driving the best performance and lowest cost per lead. Setting up attribution modelling to correctly attribute traffic and conversion sources.
Understanding how visitors behaved.
Using Hot Jar – screen recording, scroll maps, confetti maps was critical for landing pages, to see how people where interacting with the pages, where there were issues in usability of the pages, how far down the page that people were scrolling.
Predictive eye tracking
We use tools such as Eye Quant to provides predictive heat maps, scroll maps and points of interest. This is a great way to get faster results.

Think of SHOUT’s digital experts as chefs. While the meal may start with a taster plate of social media and an entrée of SEO, it’s how everything comes together, including the whole experience of the meal that creates an online sales experience that lowers cost per acquisition, improves conversion rate optimization and creates campaigns that help you get a very appetising bottom line.
The one thing that will never change is that the market is always changing. There’s no such thing as set and forget. SHOUT uses PESO and other tools to help us understand the changing dynamics of the market, to give us insights into what to test and then feed those insights into actions that drive conversion rates and supercharge your sales.
Short-term success without long-term growth is short sighted. But you can’t have long-term growth if your business can’t stay profitable in the short term. The right combinations of media choices allow you to make short term gains while investing in long-term growth – so you win at both ends.
Call us and we’ll explain how our proven processes and systems can help your business grow. We’ll talk you through the options and possibilities available to you and help you understand how PESO and the Four Key Metrics can build your online presence and your business.

Most people do CRO when they are building a new website. However, CRO should be used as a monthly strategy that is always on.
The misconception about CRO that it is major changes to the interface of your website. Which is incorrect.
CRO improvements are made three fold. Firstly, via setting up effective tracking. Secondly, via carefully crafted campaigns that align to your personas and user journeys, and third through effective landing page optimisation and overall site optimisations. When all three of these align, conversion rates can dramatically increase.
Most CRO agencies will recommend a high level site audit. This is no doubt helpful and will reduce major usability issues hindering conversion rates. However, this is only scratching the surface. A CRO strategy is incomplete without looking at optimising the marketing funnels, landing pages as well as major usability issues.
Average conversion rates are 1-2%. Which is a sad reality. Shout clients convert as high as 25%. We help our clients develop a unique position and offer, create highly converting landing pages, develop sales funnels and use sophisticated analytical software that enables us to do deep ongoing optimisations. CRO is one of the best.
Shout Agency’s CRO services are delivered in relation to paid search performance campaigns.

In these cases also, we can use Optimizely to be able to make CSS changes without needing developer input.
