Conversion & funnel optimisation

Conversion rate optimisation services built on evidence, not opinion.

The Pearson Co.'s conversion rate optimisation services cover a funnel audit, a prioritised list of fixes, hands-on implementation support and structured testing, reported in enquiries and revenue rather than vanity metrics. They suit B2B and SaaS businesses with steady traffic where the enquiry count is not keeping pace.

Conversion rate optimisation services from The Pearson Co. give you a structured, accountable way to fix a leaking funnel: an audit that ranks the leaks by revenue impact, a prioritised plan, hands-on help shipping the fixes, and testing that proves what actually moved the number. This page sets out what is in scope, who it suits, how an engagement runs week by week, and what you keep once it ends.

If you want the background on what conversion rate optimisation is and why it tends to pay back faster than buying more traffic, read the conversion and funnel optimisation page first. This page is for founders and operators who already know they have a problem and want to know what working with me on it actually looks like.

Who conversion rate optimisation services are built for.

This service suits B2B and SaaS businesses that already have steady traffic, paid, organic or both, and whose enquiry or demo numbers are not keeping pace with it. You have probably already checked the obvious things: the site loads, the form works, the numbers in the CRM look roughly sane. The problem sits somewhere less visible: a step in the funnel that quietly loses people, a page that says the wrong thing to the right visitor, a form that asks too much too soon.

It also suits businesses about to increase ad spend who want the funnel fixed before they pour more budget through it, and businesses that tried a generic best-practice pass before and got no measurable lift, because nothing was tested against a baseline.

It is not the right starting point if you have very little traffic. A funnel audit needs enough visitors and enquiries to find a real pattern, not a guess dressed up as data. With fewer than a few hundred monthly visitors to the pages in question, the better use of budget is usually generating more demand first, then coming back to this once there is a funnel worth optimising.

What is included in the service.

Every engagement is scoped to your funnel, but five things are always in it.

  • A funnel audit. A walk through your funnel from first click to enquiry: analytics review, session recordings, form analytics, page speed, and a structured look at message clarity, friction and trust signals on every step. Each drop-off point is ranked by likely revenue impact, not by how easy it is to fix.
  • A prioritised roadmap. A short, ordered list: the fixes to ship this week because they are clearly broken, and the hypotheses worth testing because reasonable people would disagree about the right answer.
  • Implementation support. Working alongside your team, or your developer or agency, to actually ship the changes: rewriting forms, fixing tracking, building the test variants, setting events up properly in GA4 so the data can be trusted.
  • Testing and reporting. Running tests where you have the traffic to support them, honest before-and-after measurement where you do not, and a monthly report in enquiries, cost per enquiry and revenue, not clicks or time on page.
  • The funnel-to-CRM handover. Checking what happens after the form submits: whether leads reach sales pipeline management fast enough to matter, and whether the route into your CRM is part of a wider revenue operations setup that needs attention too.

Testing rigour matters here. CXL's analysis of 28,304 experiments found that only one in five reached statistical significance (CXL, 2024), so a large share of "wins" reported across the industry are noise, not signal. I would rather tell you a test was inconclusive than dress up a coin flip as a result.

How the engagement works.

The shape is consistent even though the scope varies.

Most engagements run as a three to six month programme of work so there is time for more than one test cycle, then continue month to month for businesses that want to keep working the backlog. There is no minimum term to start: a one-off audit and roadmap is a fair way to see how the work goes before committing to anything longer.

Outcomes and proof.

The number that matters is your ad spend divided by the enquiries it produced. Conversion rate optimisation services exist to bring that number down without touching your media budget. Every engagement starts by agreeing the baseline, because a claimed lift only means something when it is measured against where you actually started, not a flattering before-and-after picked after the fact.

You should expect plain reporting, including the tests that did not work. A test that disproves a confident assumption has still saved you from shipping something worse across the rest of the site, and it counts as a result rather than a failure to report quietly. What you keep at the end of an engagement is not just a higher conversion rate on the day it ends. It is a backlog of validated and ruled-out hypotheses, a measurement setup that tells you the truth, and a team that knows how to keep testing once I am no longer in the room.

If you would rather work with me directly, one person responsible for the result rather than a team you never meet, the conversion rate optimisation consultant page sets out how that model works.

Common questions.

What exactly is included in conversion rate optimisation services from The Pearson Co.?

Every engagement includes a funnel audit, a prioritised roadmap, hands-on implementation support, structured testing and a monthly report in enquiries and revenue. The exact scope is agreed at the discovery call once we have looked at your funnel and traffic together.

How much do conversion rate optimisation services cost?

Cost depends on scope: a one-off audit and roadmap, or an ongoing testing programme. Industry data from Invesp puts agency CRO retainers at 5,000 to 35,000 US dollars a month (Invesp, 2025). A scoped engagement with The Pearson Co. is agreed up front and sized to your traffic, not sold as a blanket retainer.

How long does a typical engagement run?

Most run as a three to six month programme so there is time for more than one test cycle, followed by month-to-month work for businesses that want to keep clearing the backlog. A single audit and roadmap is also available as a starting point.

Do we need a certain amount of traffic before this makes sense?

You need enough visitors and enquiries on the pages in question for a pattern to be real rather than a guess. A few hundred monthly visitors to the funnel under review is a reasonable working minimum. Below that, growing demand is usually the better use of budget first.

Will you work inside our existing tools, or do we need to buy new software?

I work inside what you already have wherever it is fit for purpose, including GA4, your CRM and any testing tool you already run. I will only recommend new tooling where the gap genuinely costs you reliable data.

We tried CRO before and saw no real change. Is this different?

Usually that happens because nothing was tested against a baseline, so no one can say whether anything actually moved. The audit starts by agreeing what a real baseline looks like, and every change after that is measured against it, so you can tell a genuine lift from noise.
