Not every CRO test is worth running. These five have produced consistent, statistically significant lifts across dozens of client accounts.
1. Above-the-fold CTA clarity
Removing ambiguity from the primary call-to-action consistently lifts click-through.
2. Trust badges near forms
Placing security and trust signals directly adjacent to lead forms reduces form abandonment.
3. Social proof above the fold
Featuring a specific, credible testimonial near the hero increases time-on-page and scroll depth.
