Series 4 Episode 1 - Looking back over the last 4+ years and looking forward to the future of CRO

Matt Smith has been CEO of Webtrends Optimize for 4 and a half years now, and a lot of this time has been dictated by Covid and an economic crisis. But, he argues that the future of CRO is bright, as more and more businesses move online. The key is driving users to your site and getting them to convert. He says, ‘‘A lot of people don't realise that just having a website from Shopify or somewhere similar isn't the best for actually converting. You need to look at data, understand user data and then optimise that experience.''
