Will Laurenson, the founder of Customs Who Click, discusses the importance of conversion rate optimization (CRO) in e-commerce. He explains that CRO involves customer research, problem-solving, and optimizing the website to improve advertising efficiency, conversion rates, and customer satisfaction.

Brands typically reach out to CRO agencies either because they have a problem on their website or because they want to scale and improve their performance.

Laurenson introduces the UAM method (usability, anxiety, motivation) that his agency uses to analyze and suggest areas for improvement. He emphasizes the significance of usability, search functionality, and clear navigation in enhancing the user experience.

In our chat, Will discusses the importance of reducing anxiety and building trust in the e-commerce customer journey. He emphasizes the need to make search more obvious and to provide reassurance, reputation, and reliability to customers.

We've also discussed the importance of highlighting both the benefits and features of a product, as well as the challenges of abandoned carts.
