Services · Conversion rate optimisation
Conversion rate optimisation for $5M to $20M D2C ecommerce and online education brands.
You already pay for the traffic. Most of it leaves without doing the thing you wanted them to do. We find out why, fix the worst of it first, and prove the lift with the kind of statistical discipline most agencies skip.
Who this is built for
The head of growth, founder, or CMO at a brand doing $5M to $20M.
You run paid traffic at scale. You have a CRO tool installed or could install one in an afternoon. You suspect your current testing program is making noise without moving the revenue line.
If you do under $1M a year, the math doesn’t work yet. You need traffic volume to detect real lifts. If you want ‘ten quick conversion tips’, wrong room.
What we deliver
Five outputs from every engagement.
Most conversion rate optimisation agencies sell you a list of recommendations and call it a strategy. We run a research-led testing program built around five things you can hold in your hand.
- 1
A ranked friction list in your customers' words
Not ‘users seem confused at checkout’. The exact sentence three of them wrote in the survey. Surveys, session recordings, funnel analysis, review mining, customer interviews. The output is a research artefact, not a slide deck.
- 2
A live testing pipeline that ships every fortnight
Two to four experiments per month, prioritised by expected revenue and the cost of being wrong. ICE-L scoring. Pre-test power analysis. The brief locks the primary metric before launch.
- 3
Verdicts that hold under scrutiny
Tests called only when they meet the rule: at least 95% probability-to-beat-baseline, three consecutive stable days, primary and secondary metrics in agreement, minimum order count per arm.
- 4
A learnings library that compounds
Every test, win or loss, generates a one-paragraph insight. After twelve months you have a research asset, not a list of variations. Next quarter’s hypotheses come from this quarter’s data.
- 5
Revenue moved
The only number we keep score on. Reported in your currency, in your P&L, with the test code hardcoded into your theme or platform on the way through.
Where the wins usually hide
Five surfaces that account for most of the revenue we move.
- 1
PDP above the fold
Headline that names the outcome, top two objections handled in line, in-use imagery. Most PDPs do one of these well. Almost none do all three.
- 2
Checkout
Trust density at payment, shipping-threshold mechanics, post-purchase upsells. Shopify checkout has more headroom than most teams think, and Checkout Extensibility unlocks tests that were impossible eighteen months ago.
- 3
Webinar and launch funnels
For online education brands: opt-in headline, urgency mechanics that don’t feel cheap, attendance-to-sale conversion in the replay window. The funnel between registration and purchase is where most of the revenue actually moves.
- 4
Collection and category pages for paid traffic
If you run ads to a collection, it’s a landing page. Most teams treat it like a filing cabinet. Restate the promise, prime the category, put proof above the grid.
- 5
The free trial or onboarding flow
For subscription and education brands: the first three sessions after signup decide whether the customer ever pays again. Most teams optimise the signup form and ignore everything after it.
How we run the engagement
One loop. Same shape on every engagement.
Step 1
Research
Weeks one to four. Surveys, session recordings, funnel analysis, review mining, customer interviews. Output is a ranked friction list in the customer’s voice, not ours.
Step 2
Prioritise
ICE-L scoring. We wrote about why ICE alone breaks. Top two or three tests scheduled with the primary metric locked in the brief.
Step 3
Test
Two to four experiments per month. Code we write, code your team reviews, code that ships when both sides sign off. We deploy through your existing testing tool.
Step 4
Compound
Every test feeds the learnings library. We don’t ship redesigns. We don’t sell hours. The wins stack, the losses rule out hypotheses cheaply, and the program gets sharper every quarter.
What the numbers look like
Verified results from clients running this loop.
One D2C client, eighteen months of the loop: $1M to $2M in added revenue, a thirty-five percent win rate across 180 tests, a sixty-nine percent lift on the homepage that compounded for the rest of the engagement, a twenty-six percent take rate on a single post-purchase upsell.
One online education client: four shipped wins inside the first six months. Plus fifty-seven percent. Plus sixty-three percent. Plus forty-three percent. Plus thirty percent. Different surface each time.
We don’t promise either of those. We promise the loop, run with the same discipline, on your funnel.
Frequently asked
Questions buyers ask before booking a call.
- How long until I see results?
- The first shipped win usually lands inside the first ninety days. Compounding revenue typically shows up in months four to nine, once the learnings library has enough volume to feed back into hypothesis quality.
- Who does the work?
- Jono runs strategy and test-calling. A specialist developer writes test code under code review. You see who is on every Loom and every test brief.
- Do you work with brands outside D2C and online education?
- Sometimes. The discipline travels. The pattern recognition is sharper in the two categories we work in every day, which is why we lead with them.
- Do you run paid media or SEO?
- No. Conversion rate optimisation is the one thing. No commission on platforms, no agency hours on traffic.
- What happens if a test loses?
- Most do. Industry average sits around twenty percent win rate. Ours is closer to thirty-five percent. Losses still feed the learnings library and rule out hypotheses cheaply.
- What does it cost?
- Engagements start at NZD $4,000 per month. We run in 90-day sprints, and most clients run multiple sprints back to back. The retainer covers research, prioritisation, two to four shipped experiments per month, the test code, the learnings library, and monthly review calls.
You see a revenue uplift, or you don't pay.
That is the deal on every 90-day sprint we run. If the program does not produce a measurable revenue uplift by the end of the quarter, we refund the final 50% of the sprint fee. No asterisks, no vanity metrics, and no hiding behind “we ran some experiments.”
