Conversion Rate Optimization

Shopify Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) Services

At Slingshot Design, we help Shopify and Shopify Plus merchants boost sales without spending more on ads. Through smart, data-backed CRO strategies, we turn your existing traffic into paying customers—consistently and sustainably.

Why CRO Matters for Your Shopify Store

The average conversion rate for a Shopify store is around 1.4%. But top-performing stores? They convert at 3.2% or more. Even small tweaks—like shortening the checkout process or clarifying product benefits—can significantly impact your bottom line.

  • A 1% lift in conversion rate could translate to thousands of dollars in extra revenue per month.

Whether you're selling to customers across Canada or globally, CRO helps you do more with the traffic you already have.
