Do these challenges sound familiar?
- Does your website not drive enquiries?

LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR CHALLENGES
SMITH HAVE BEEN A PIVOTAL PART IN THE SUCCESS OF AUSTIN KEMP, THEY ARE MUCH MORE THAN JUST A CRO CONSULTANCY, THEY’VE BEEN PARTNERS TO US AND HAVE SEEN US GROW SIGNIFICANTLY EVERY YEAR SINCE WORKING WITH THEM.
What is CRO?
Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) is the process of improving your website’s ability to turn visitors into leads or customers.
Whether the goal is form submissions, calls, downloads, or purchases, CRO uses data, testing, and behavioural insights to increase the percentage of users who take action on your site.
At its core, CRO answers this question: “How can we get more value from the visitors you already have?”
For businesses in Leeds and beyond, investing in CRO is one of the most cost-effective ways to grow revenue without increasing your ad spend.
Why Hire a CRO Agency?
While it’s possible to run simple A/B tests in-house, effective CRO requires much more than swapping colours or headlines.
As a dedicated CRO agency in Leeds, SMITH brings:
- Expertise in user behaviour and UX
- Robust analytics and event tracking setups
- Testing frameworks grounded in real data
- Access to industry-leading CRO tools
- Design, copy, and development support for test implementation
Hiring a CRO agency ensures you’re not guessing – you’re experimenting in an organised manner, learning constantly, and investing in sustainable growth.
How CRO Improves ROAS
CRO doesn’t just improve conversion rates – it amplifies the value of every marketing channel.
If you’re running paid campaigns on Google, LinkedIn, or Facebook, improving your website’s conversion rate means every click becomes more profitable. Big or small budget, it’s all about getting more value from every pound you spend.
In short, if your website isn’t converting, you’re not just losing leads – you’re wasting budget.
CRO vs UX – What’s the Difference?
While closely related, CRO and UX (User Experience) serve different purposes.
- UX focuses on the feel, usability, and satisfaction of your website.
- CRO is focused on achieving specific goals – like turning that smooth user experience into more leads, demos, or enquiries.
At SMITH, we bring these disciplines together. We refine experiences not just to be enjoyable, but to drive results.
CRO Tools We Use
Some of the tools we work with include:
- Google Analytics (GA4)
- Google Tag Manager
- Hotjar & Microsoft Clarity (for heatmaps & user session recordings)
- VWO, Optimizely, Convert (A/B & multivariate testing)
- Full Story (for advanced behavioural analytics)
- HubSpot & CRM integrations (to connect CRO with real sales data)
We combine these tools with strategy, experience, and sharp execution – ensuring CRO isn’t siloed, but integrated into your wider marketing goals.
Tangible Results
Behavioural Science & CRO
Our CRO work is grounded not only in data and design — but in behavioural science. We apply proven psychological principles to help users take action with more confidence, less friction, and greater trust.This behavioural insight layer is what sets our CRO approach apart. We're not just tweaking websites — we're influencing decision-making in ethical, effective ways that drive more leads.
-
Loss Aversion
We frame messaging and page design in ways that emphasise avoiding negative outcomes - a powerful motivator, especially in high-stakes B2B environments.
-
Social Proof
Testimonials, case studies, and cohort-based messaging help build credibility by showing others (just like your prospects) already trust you.
-
Authority Bias
We highlight endorsements, accreditations, and professional credibility to reinforce confidence in your business.
-
Choice Overload
Too many options can reduce conversions. We streamline decisions and guide users clearly to the next best step.
-
Anchoring
How your pricing or proposition is introduced can impact perception. We use psychological anchors to make value feel obvious and compelling.
Our Focus: CRO for B2B Lead Gen Websites
Lead generation websites are different.
Your buyer journeys are normally longer. Your conversions can be more complex. Your website plays an active role in lead generation and sales – far beyond simply showcasing your brand.
That’s why our Leeds-based CRO agency specialises in B2B lead generation.
5 examples of what we can optimise:
- Form submissions
- Demo and call bookings
- Whitepaper downloads
- CRM integrations
- Landing page experiences for PPC, Social & SEO campaigns
We understand how trust, clarity, and frictionless journeys impact conversions in the B2B space – and we test, refine, and improve them over time.
