What changes when it is e-commerce

We research before testing. Session recordings and funnel data tell you where to look; testing without that is a random walk through your own website.

In e-commerce, every change must be justified by a controlled experiment against revenue. That single fact reshapes how conversion rate optimisation has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is product recommendations, usually integrated against logistics aggregators. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.

Deployed across regulated and unregulated sectors, with audit trails where the regulator expects them. You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

Questions from this sector

How quickly can we see conversion impact?

Search and recommendation changes usually show within two to four weeks of experiment traffic, assuming enough volume to reach significance.

Can you fix our catalogue data?

Yes, attribute extraction from images and descriptions, plus deduplication. Catalogue quality quietly limits both search and recommendations.

How long does a test need?

Long enough to reach significance on your traffic and conversion rate, commonly two to four weeks. If your volume cannot support a test, we say so and recommend research-led changes instead.

What is a good conversion rate?

It depends so heavily on industry, traffic source and price point that benchmarks mislead. The useful comparison is your own rate over time.

Should we do CRO or buy more traffic?

CRO first when you have meaningful traffic that converts poorly. It compounds with every future rupee of ad spend.
