How much does conversion rate optimization consulting cost?
The fixed-scope CRO Audit is $5,000. Strategy engagements range from $5,000 to $15,000. Fractional CRO leadership starts at $15,000 per month with a three-month minimum. Scope changes with funnel complexity, research needs, and implementation responsibility.
What does a CRO consultant actually do?
A CRO consultant diagnoses conversion and measurement problems, builds an evidence-backed test roadmap, establishes statistical rules, helps the team ship experiments, and connects results to incremental revenue. The work is broader than changing landing-page copy.
Is CRO the same as SEO?
No. SEO helps qualified people find the site. CRO improves the rate and value of actions after they arrive. The disciplines work together: acquiring more traffic is less valuable when the funnel or measurement system is broken.
How soon should we expect evidence?
A diagnostic can produce a prioritized roadmap in one week. A strategy engagement usually produces test-ready work within four to eight weeks. A causal result depends on baseline conversion, eligible traffic, effect size, implementation speed, and the pre-agreed sample requirement.
Who implements the recommendations?
Your team normally owns production code and design. I own diagnosis, prioritization, experiment design, statistical integrity, and executive interpretation. Implementation support can be scoped, but responsibilities are agreed before work starts.
Do you sign NDAs and work with enterprise security reviews?
Yes. I can sign a mutual NDA, work within least-privilege analytics access, and document data-handling and implementation responsibilities. Sensitive employer and client data is not used as public marketing material without permission.
