Conversion Rate Optimization

Maximize Website Conversions, Improve Engagement, Drive More Inquiries

Your website is one of your most powerful tools for student recruitment—but if visitors aren’t taking action, you could be missing out on valuable opportunities. Carnegie’s Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) solution helps colleges and universities turn more website visitors into inquiries, applications, and enrolled students.

By identifying where and why students drop off, we help institutions make targeted, measurable improvements that enhance the user experience. Whether you're looking to optimize landing pages, streamline key journeys, or refine calls to action, our Conversion Rate Optimization solution offers a faster, lower-lift way to boost engagement—perfect for institutions that want to make meaningful progress between redesigns.

Data-Driven Insights

We use advanced analytics tools like Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Microsoft Clarity (featuring heatmaps, scroll maps, and session replays) to evaluate how students interact with your site. These insights reveal friction points and user behavior trends, guiding strategic improvements.

A/B Testing & Experimentation

Through A/B and multivariate testing, we compare different versions of key web elements—such as page layouts, headlines, and call-to-action buttons—to determine what drives the highest engagement and conversions. This structured approach ensures every change is backed by real user data.

Continuous Optimization & Measurable Results

Conversion Rate Optimization is not a one-time fix—it’s an ongoing process of testing, learning, and refining to maximize results over time. By continuously optimizing your website based on performance data, we help institutions increase engagement, improve user experience, and enhance ROI from marketing efforts.

Integration with Existing Digital Strategies

Conversion Rate Optimization works alongside your existing marketing campaigns, digital ads, and recruitment efforts to ensure your website effectively supports your enrollment goals. Whether paired with paid media, SEO, or personalization strategies, Conversion Rate Optimization helps convert more prospective students at every stage of the funnel.
