Conversion rate optimization (CRO) is the practice of increasing the percentage of website visitors who complete a goal, like a purchase, through structured testing rather than guesswork. For ecommerce, that usually means testing product pages, checkout flow, and personalization.
It means using AI models to automate specific ecommerce tasks, such as customer segmentation, ad creative generation, or finding where a store is losing revenue, instead of a person doing that analysis manually. It is not a replacement for a CRO strategy, it speeds up parts of one.
