The Shift from CRO to DXO
The podcast delves into the transition from Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) to Digital Experience Optimization (DXO). The hosts emphasize that websites and apps cannot reach their full potential solely through CRO. DXO's approach involves focusing on building a better digital journey centered around the customer rather than just conversion rates.
Understanding the Digital Journey
DXO involves analyzing the entire digital journey, encompassing phases from discovery to post-purchase. Unlike CRO's narrow focus on increasing conversion rates, DXO considers the broader context of consumer behaviors, preferences, and decision-making processes. By exploring the discovery, information gathering, decision-making, and post-purchase phases, DXO offers a more comprehensive strategy beyond traditional CRO methods.
Implementing DXO Across Business Sizes
DXO is positioned as a versatile solution applicable to businesses of all sizes, especially beneficial for those without sufficient resources for full-scale CRO. The podcast advocates for prioritizing customer interactions, gathering feedback, and enhancing user experiences through DXO to foster data-driven decision-making and holistic digital improvements. Ultimately, DXO aims to optimize the digital experience on a deeper level, incorporating user-centered approaches and meaningful customer interactions.
This might be surprising to hear from one of the pioneers of conversion rate optimization, but CRO is out and DXO is in. In this episode, CEO Jon MacDonald dives into what Digital Experience Optimization(DXO) is and why it’s the best way to produce results. DXO is an evolved approach that brings together a range of tactics needed to build a better digital journey.
Digital Experience Optimization involves looking at the digital journey as a whole to see not just how customers engage with you but why they make certain decisions. Through the process, meaningful changes are made to your website or app to meet the needs of your users and business.
