CRO stands for conversion rate optimization. It is the practice of modifying a website, and the traffic being driven to that website, in order to increase conversion rates. A conversion rate is the rate at which someone accomplished a goal on your website. For example, say you drive 1,000 visitors to a web page a month and only 1% of them fill out your lead form. A conversion rate optimization expert might change the language on that page, make a button more clear, swap in a more likeable picture add some security logos, etc. By making these changes, you could see a jump in conversion rate which results in more people filling out your lead form and you maximizing your traffic.
