A structured approach to finding and fixing the friction points costing you sales, without the guesswork.
Most marketers tweak their websites and hope. A conversion rate optimization plan built on structure stops the guessing.
Stellar outlined a 30, 60-day CRO sequence designed to move marketers past hunches and into data-driven experiments. The plan is built on four moves: identify expensive friction, choose a primary KPI, validate your tracking, and run controlled tests. For business owners and marketing teams, that structure turns a messy project into a predictable one.
Every funnel has a bottleneck, the place where the most customers abandon. That's where your money is leaking. The first step is to find it. Map your funnel from landing page through checkout or conversion. Watch for the stage where traffic drops hardest. If 1,000 visitors land on your site but only 50 make it to the cart, and only 10 check out, your expensive friction is in the checkout experience, not the landing page.
That bottleneck is your target. Fix it, and you stop money from walking out the door.
Before you run any test, you need to know what you are measuring and why. Stellar's plan says pick one primary KPI, the metric that matters to revenue. That might be conversions, revenue per visitor, or average order value. Whatever it is, it should move your business forward.
Then validate your tracking. Test it. Make sure your measurement tool is actually capturing the right behavior. If your data is broken, every experiment after it is guesswork in a new package.
Over the 30, 60-day window, run one experiment at a time. Change one element, button color, copy, form fields, checkout steps, and measure the impact on your primary KPI. Controlled experiments mean you know what actually moved the needle, not just that something changed.
Let the results guide your next move. If an experiment improves conversion rate, lock it in and test the next friction point. If it does nothing, learn and move on. That cycle over 30, 60 days builds momentum and confidence.
Stellar's 30, 60-day framework works because it removes the ambiguity from CRO. You identify what's broken, measure it, test it, and move. No vanity metrics, no multi-month projects with unclear scope. Just systematic improvement where every move is tied to revenue.
How WebKing runs this
We structure your conversion work in phases, find the bottleneck, confirm your measurement is clean, then run experiments that prove what actually moves the needle. No guesswork, no vanity metrics.
Map your funnel and find the stage where the biggest drop-off happens, that's your expensive friction point and your first target. According to Stellar's 30, 60-day plan, identifying that leak is the foundation for everything that follows.
Choose one primary KPI tied directly to revenue, conversions, revenue per visitor, or order value. Stellar's approach says validate your tracking first to make sure you're actually measuring what you think you're measuring.
The structured 30, 60-day approach calls for controlled experiments, meaning you isolate variables so you know what actually changed the outcome. Running multiple changes at once makes it impossible to know what moved the needle.
The Stellar framework plans for 30, 60 days of structured work, identify friction, validate tracking, then run experiments. The timeline depends on your traffic volume, but controlled testing requires enough time and data to be confident in the result.
