Conversion Rate Optimisation: A Handy Guide for Nutritionists

If you’re a nutritionist with a website, you probably know that getting people to visit your site is just the first step. We previously looked at ways to get visitors to your site. The real challenge is turning those visitors into clients. That’s where Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) comes in. This guide will help you understand CRO and how to use it to grow your nutrition business.

CRO is all about getting more people to take the action you want on your website—like booking a consultation, signing up for your newsletter, or purchasing your meal plans. It’s about understanding how visitors use your site, figuring out what might be stopping them from converting, and making changes to help them along.

1. Get More Clients Without Extra Costs: By making the most of your existing traffic, you can increase your client base without spending more on ads.
2. Improve User Experience: A smoother, more user-friendly website keeps visitors happy and more likely to return.
3. Make Data-Driven Decisions: CRO relies on data and analytics, so you can make changes based on real evidence, not just hunches.

1. Understand Visitor Behaviour:
   • Heatmaps: These show where visitors click and scroll on your site.
   • Session Recordings: Watch recordings of visitor sessions to see where they might get stuck or leave. I like to use mouseflow but there are many other options out there.
2. A/B Testing:
   • Test Designs: Try out different layouts to see which one helps visitors take action.
   • Test Copy and CTAs: Experiment with different headlines, text, and call-to-action buttons to find what works best. Remember A/B testing can be done with more than 2 variations. Hubspot has a wonderful guide to help you.
3. Optimise Landing Pages:
   • Stay Relevant: Make sure your landing pages match the ads or links that brought visitors there.
   • Speed Up: Fast-loading pages keep visitors from getting frustrated and leaving.
4. Streamline Forms:
   • Simplify: Fewer fields in your forms make them easier to fill out.
   • Show Progress: For multi-step forms, use progress indicators to show how close visitors are to finishing.

1. Know Your Audience:
   • Survey and interview your clients to learn about their needs and preferences.
   • Use tools like Google Analytics to track visitor behaviour and demographics.
2. Create Compelling Content:
   • Use catchy headlines and engaging text to grab attention.
   • Add testimonials and success stories to build trust.
3. Optimise for Mobile:
   • Ensure your site works well on all devices.
   • Simplify navigation and speed up load times on mobile.
4. Use Social Proof:
   • Show customer reviews, ratings, and social media mentions to build credibility.
5. Exit-Intent Popups:
   • Use these to offer discounts or gather feedback when visitors are about to leave.
