How [Company] Increased Conversions by 30% Using Google Analytics

The Conversion Problem

In Q1 2023, [Company] faced a critical challenge: despite 50,000 monthly website visitors, our conversion rate stagnated at 1.8% – well below the industry average of 2.5%.

After implementing a data-driven approach using Google Analytics, we achieved:

• 30% increase in conversions(from 900 to 1,170/month)
• 22% higher average order value
• 40% reduction in cost per acquisition

Here’s exactly how we did it.

The Diagnostic Phase: Finding Leaks in Our Funnel

1. Landing page view (100%)
2. Product page visit (58%)
3. Add to cart (12%)
4. Checkout start (6%)
5. Purchase (1.8%)

Key Insight:
A massive 82% drop-off between product views and add-to-cart.

Step 2: Segment Analysis

We compared converters vs. abandoners:

• Device:Mobile conversion rate 40% lower than desktop
