Choosing an international marketing agency

Agency selection: Conversion rate optimization

Conversion work investigates why relevant visitors do not complete an intended action. It should connect evidence from the funnel to specific changes and a sensible way to evaluate them.

When this service fits

Traffic exists but conversion is underperforming.

What to prepare

Prepare funnel reports, relevant page access, examples of user problems and development resources.

What to include in the scope

  • Review important user paths, forms and mobile friction.
  • Check whether measurement captures the intended actions reliably.
  • Prioritize hypotheses by evidence, impact and implementation effort.
  • Document each change and evaluate it with the available data.

Work formats to discuss

These are ways to frame a brief. Confirm deliverables, responsibilities, timing and price with the agency before starting.

What to ask an agency

  • What evidence supports each proposed change?
  • Is there enough data to evaluate the planned test?
  • Who implements the changes and checks that tracking still works?

How to discuss the budget

We do not show fixed budgets because international lead generation depends on market, niche, competition, channel mix, offer, landing pages, analytics and sales process. Instead, the index uses a relative price level to show how each agency is positioned without turning the page into a fixed pricing table.

Questions about this service

Does every CRO project need an A/B test?

No. Choose an evaluation method that fits the traffic, change and available evidence. Do not treat a small or inconclusive test as proof.

Is CRO just a redesign?

A redesign is one possible intervention. The work may instead concern the offer, content, form, mobile flow or measurement. Ask how the proposed change addresses the evidence.
