If the essence of CRO were to be captured in one sentence, it would be this: What can’t be measured, cannot be optimized. Data, in the same context, is the basis of your [CRO strategy](https://fibr.ai/conversion-rate-optimization/cro-strategy), no matter what industry you belong to. 

But, how do you measure this data, what metrics matter, and where to even begin? Don’t worry, we have also covered analytics and data tracking checklists so you don’t have to read and look for other guides: this blog is truly your one-stop super CRO checklist. 

Now first, let’s get to the data and analytics part of things;

### **Establish a solid measurement foundation**

To move forward in your CRO journey, you need to get your basics right and establish a solid base. How to do this? Follow the following metrics:

#### **1\. Heat-mapping**

Heat mapping shows areas frequented by users on a page through clicks, mouse movements, and more. You can optimize the same to ensure more conversions. For instance, if the area frequented by users has a non-reactive element, you can consider turning it interactive.

#### **2\. Comprehensive tagging**

This involves placing tracking codes on the website to monitor actions like clicks, page views, and submissions. This helps you measure the performance of your site and adjust your strategy for optimization. 

For instance, you can track the CTA buttons of a landing page to understand which ones are converting better.

#### **3\. Accurate traffic segmentation**

Traffic segmentation is a simple categorization of different lead funnels. For instance, you can segment traffic from organic traffic, ads, and more separately to better understand which one is performing better. You can further observe the behavior of users from different channels and optimize accordingly. 

#### **4\. Enhanced eCommerce tracking**

Enhanced eCommerce tracking allows for tracking data beyond the basics: impressions per click, clicks, card abandonment, and more. For instance, if a product is repeatedly abandoned, the brand can take a relook and understand what needs to be optimized further. 

#### **5\. Cross-device tracking**

This type of tracking allows you to track transitions from mobile to desktop and vice versa (even across other devices). With such tracking, you can understand user preferences better and optimize in the same zone.

### **Track the right conversion metrics**

Besides tracking the CRO rates, focus on other metrics that bring value to the business like :

#### **1\. Revenue per visitor**

This is the website’ earning per user visit. For instance, if a website generates $1000, for 200 visitors, its RPV is 5%. This is purely a game of traffic. Optimize for the same. Remember the conversions can happen only when there are visitors to convert.

#### **2\. Cart abandonment rate**

This metric, specific to eCommerce, measures the percentage of visitors who add items to their cart but abandon it later. This could be attributed to many factors such as pricing, shopping costs, and more. Try and identify where users are dropping out of the purchase to reduce this rate. 

#### **3\. Checkout abandonment rate**

Checkout abandonment occurs when users drop out during the final stage of the buying process. Again more applicable to eCommerce, the checkout abandonment rate points to friction in the last stage. Sp, ensure your CAR rate is below the industry average because losing customers at this point could be more of a technical issue as the customer is already deep into your marketing funnel.

#### **4\. Customer lifetime value (CLV)**

CLV estimates the amount of business a business can expect from a customer over their lifetime. A higher CLV indicates higher profitability and businesses must focus on maximizing CLV. 

#### **5\. Repeat purchase rate**

You can measure loyalty and the perception of your brand through repeat purchase rate, which measures the percentage of customers who have returned to purchase again. The higher your RPR, the more your convert.

#### **6\. Revenue attribution**

This is a very interesting metric. Revenue attribution, as the name suggests, connects various data points to analyze which marketing funnel is bringing in the maximum ROI–paid ads, organic traffic, and such. This metric can be an excellent starting point for optimization spending more on marketing channels that are bringing in more revenue and working on channels that aren’t. 

### **Leverage advanced analytics techniques**

Don’t just stick to the basics. Charge your CRO with advanced analytical techniques with:

#### **1\. A/B testing**

If you’re running A/B tests, ensure you test variation to see which works the best. You can sign up with[ Fibr AI](https://fibr.ai/) to test and create personalized landing pages, ad copy, and more. Don’t forget to track the metrics of different elements you test. 

#### **2\. Predictive modeling**

Employ predictive modeling, machine learning, AI, and LLMs to forecast customer churn, and probability and formulate future strategies. 

#### **3\. Data visualization**

Convert data, numbers, and rates into proper actionable dashboards that convey the full story of a visitor journey, From start to end.
