It’s been about a year since I started working with CRO Gurus and there has been a lot of things that we’ve done on the website and other factors that led the business to growing up to 6-7x in revenue. Working with Samuel and his team has been quite very easy and valuable for my business. I’d say that you can trust CRO Gurus looking after what you need because they will treat your business as their business. They are not going to overcharge you of something that is not going to help you.

The thing I appreciate the most about CRO Gurus is reliability. CRO Gurus ticked all the checkbox there. After analyzing our data, they have provided us with a comprehensive checklist, an audit breakdown both UX and technical and they also help us implement those changes for us so I can focus more on the important things in my business.

One of the things we were really impressed about was the level of detail the CRO audit was presented. Another thing that I would say stood out the most were the number of issues CRO Gurus have found that we don't really notice so having that expert eyes and pointing those out were definitely an eye-opener for us.

They will save you so much time and mone
I re-designed my whole website with a design company and it ended up being a flop. I had Samuel and his team come in and do a full audit. It was so comprehensive and helpful, there was so much I didn't know about how to build a website that converts. I think before you even consider a re-design or re-build, consult with Samuel, as in the end, they will save you so much time and money. Highly recommend.

The most organized team that I've ever worked with
Samuel and team were great to work with. We started with a thorough CRO audit. His team came up with a comprehensive prioritized plan of actions. Then I worked with his development team to implement the recommendations. Our conversion rate improved to a satisfactory level 3 months post implementation. I learned quite a bit during the process. Also this is the most organized team that I've ever worked with! Love keeping track of things on Asana and everyone was super responsive. Highly recommend Samuel and team and I plan to work with him again for our next set of projects.

Very flexible partnership commitment
CRO Gurus helped us build our website from scratch to a heavily optimized website for usability (something that we didn't pay attention to before) to maximize conversion rate and transaction. They also helped us customize website functionality to better customer experience. One of the things I like most about working with CRO Gurus is their project flexibility. You are not tied to a long-term contract, which allows eCommerce merchants to test the waters before committing for the long term.

I always got what was promised. They have very solid processes for creating these services while still producing custom & valuable work. What I find most impressive about CRO Gurus is their consistency and deep knowledge of e-commerce. CRO really stood out to us. Usually, small companies tend to be a bit unstructured but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a company that cared so much about the details and honed their reports to this degree.

Deep, insightful, and precise conversion rate optimization report
Exceptionally clear, detailed and insightful Conversion Rate Optimisation report. Very patient with my questions. Samuel is methodical and diligent in execution with well-reasoned rationales behind his recommendations. He was also good and at managing expectations. The report I received was deep, insightful and precise. In a couple of months of sustained traffic, I will likely rehire Samuel to perform a second audit, so that I can iteratively improve site performance. Highly recommended.

His SEO strategies are very sound!
Samuel has been helping us in generating an SEO strategy for our consulting business. The goal of the project was to generate interested, leads through organic search. We basically wanted to have our landing pages rank well enough on Google so that these leads find us when they are googling our services. We have been implementing his SEO strategy for 5 months now, in order to improve our domain reputation with Google and now we find that we rank pretty well for most things we are selling. Wholeheartedly recommend to use him for ongoing SEO as his strategies are very sound and he doesn’t just generate a plan for getting a ton of traffic that don’t buy but always seeks to generate the right kind of traffic as well.

In comparison to other freelancers I interviewed, Samuel was the only one that specialized in conversion which made him a no brainer to hire him for our needs.
