A verified win
28% more orders of the right model. Checked again seven weeks later. Still there.
A premium bike rack brand, sold direct to consumer, was converting below what its traffic deserved. We read 1,910 customer reviews and surveyed over 500 shoppers, then put the answer buyers needed on the page where they choose. Orders of the right model rose 28 percent at 98 percent confidence. Seven weeks after rollout we went back and verified the win held: worth $7,000 to $16,000 a month, still there today.
Most CRO programs stall for the same three reasons.
If you’re already testing and the numbers aren’t moving, the problem usually isn’t effort. It’s one of these three.
Testing that doesn’t move revenue
You’re running tests, but the wins never add up to anything you can see in the P&L. Most of them turn out to be guesses dressed up as experiments.
A generic checklist instead of your store
Plenty of agencies arrive with the same twenty changes they make for everyone. Add a sticky bar, swap a button colour, call it optimisation. None of it is grounded in how your buyers actually behave.
Results you can’t take to the board
A win you can’t trust is worse than no win. When the call gets made on a hunch or a peek at half-significant data, it won’t survive contact with the real world, and your CFO knows it.
Research the problem. Test the answer. Compound the wins.
The Impact Conversion Method is our answer to your ad spend problem. It's been proven in 4 different verticals so far, and driven more sales for every client we've worked with.
Stage 1 of 4
Stage 01
Research
Before we touch your site, we dig into why people actually leave, why they don’t convert, and why they do. The fixes come out of your customers’ own words rather than a best-practice checklist.
Evidence: buyers keep looking for an answer the product page does not give them.
What you get from a conversion rate optimisation agency.
Not a list of tweaks. A testing program that finds where your store loses buyers, fixes the biggest leaks first, and proves each change on revenue before it stays.
Customer research first
Surveys, on-site polls, session recordings, heatmaps and analytics. The first weeks find out why your buyers hesitate before anyone writes a test.
How the CRO program worksA/B tests sized before they run
Every test gets a power check against your real traffic, so it can reach a verdict. If a page cannot detect a lift worth having, we tell you before you spend a month on it.
A/B testing servicesBuilt for Shopify
Product page, cart drawer, checkout and post-purchase: the surfaces where Australian Shopify stores usually leak, tested inside the tool you already run.
Shopify CROWhat’s different about testing an Australian store.
Most CRO advice is written for US stores. Four things about the Australian market change what’s worth testing first.
Buy now, pay later is part of the decision
Afterpay, Zip, Klarna and PayPal carry far more of the checkout here than in the US. Where the instalment price sits, and in what order the payment options appear, is one of the first things worth testing on an Australian store.
GST-inclusive prices, everywhere
Australian buyers expect the final price on the product page. Imported US themes often show an ex-GST price on at least one surface, the mini-cart or cart drawer, and buyers read the jump at checkout as a hidden cost.
One country, several shipping markets
Delivering to WA, NT or Tasmania costs more than the eastern seaboard. A single free-shipping threshold either gives away margin in the east or loses orders in the west, so the threshold is a test in its own right.
End of financial year is a buying window
The year closes on 30 June, and any category with a business buyer sees a late-June lift. Most stores only run that play in email. The product page and checkout are usually untouched.
The full breakdown, with the tests we run for each, is in conversion rate optimisation in Australia. Before any of it gets tested, we check the page has the traffic to give a clear answer. Here’s how much traffic an A/B test needs, or run your own numbers in the pre-test calculator.

Questions Australian operators ask before booking.
- What does a conversion rate optimisation agency do?
- It works out why visitors who should buy don’t, then tests fixes until the ones that lift revenue are proven. A good program starts with customer research, ranks the problems by likely revenue impact, and runs A/B tests sized to your traffic so every result can be trusted. You end up with more revenue from the traffic you already pay for.
- How much traffic do we need before testing is worth it?
- It depends on how many orders the page sees, not how many visitors. As a rough guide, each version of a test needs around 1,600 orders to detect a 10% lift. Our free pre-test calculator at /tools/ab-calculator works it out for your store, and the guide at /blog/how-much-traffic-ab-test explains the maths.
- Are you based in Australia?
- No. We’re based in New Zealand and work with Australian clients across AEDT and AEST. Calls land inside your business day, and test briefs are in your inbox by the time you start work. The timezone overlap is close enough that most clients forget we’re not local.
- Which brands have you worked with?
- Ecommerce, bookings and online education brands doing 1,000+ orders or bookings a month or $1M+ a year in online revenue, up into the low tens of millions. Names like High Performance Academy, Animal Training Academy, Kite Therapy, and Australian brands Steadyrack and Top Music. The full case studies are at /case-studies, including engagements that have run twelve months or longer.
- What does it cost?
- Engagements start at AUD $5,000 per month, priced and invoiced in AUD, and scale with scope. The retainer covers research, prioritisation, the experiments we ship, the test code, and regular review calls. Every 90-day sprint carries the guarantee: if there is no measurable revenue uplift by the end, we refund the final 50% of the sprint fee.
- Will you work with our existing dev team?
- Preferred. The cleanest engagements have your developers reviewing our code before it ships, which keeps theme conflicts down and everyone aligned.
- Can you help us choose a CRO testing tool?
- Yes. We’re tool-agnostic across Intelligems, GrowthBook, Convert, and ABTasty, and we don’t take referral fees, so the recommendation is based on your stack and traffic, not on what pays us.
