FAQs

What exactly is CRO?

Nope. This course is about improving the performance of your existing marketing efforts — without extra spend.

I’m not tech-savvy. Can I still do this?

Absolutely. We use plain English, show everything step-by-step, and provide templates to make implementation easy.

Do I need a website to do this?

It’s ideal — but if you run email campaigns, ads or use landing pages, you’ll still benefit massively.

Will this help if I’m already running ads?

Yes! You’ll learn how to get more value from your traffic, reduce cost per conversion, and improve return on ad spend.
