CRO Consulting

CRO consulting for brands that already know what's broken.

Conversion optimization consulting is advisory help that tells your in-house team which tests to run and which results to trust, without taking over execution. acceleroi's conversion rate consultants serve eCommerce and SaaS brands at $5M–$100M+ who already have engineers, designers, and analysts but need a strategist who has run tests to a decision, many times. Start with the audit, about five minutes; the strategist's work lives in the Managed plan.

When CRO consulting beats hiring an agency

Three patterns where hiring conversion optimization consultants is the better fit than a done-for-you agency. (If you'd rather hand the whole program off, compare the best CRO agencies in 2026 or our eCommerce CRO agency service instead.)

  • You have an in-house growth team that's running tests but win rate is <15%. The problem isn't capacity: it's hypothesis quality and prioritization. A consultant fixes the methodology, not the execution.
  • You're a $20M+ brand standing up the testing function for the first time. Fractional CRO leadership accelerates the first 6 months: hire the right roles, instrument analytics correctly, set up the testing tool, train the team.
  • You're about to spend $300K+ on a redesign. A one-off CRO audit before the redesign exposes which assumptions are wrong, what to keep, and what to validate first, before architects start.

Where the consulting work lives now

acceleroi no longer sells the one-off audit, the fractional lead, the strategy retainer or team training as separate engagements. The strategist's work (the roadmap, hypothesis reviews, test design and reading results to a decision) lives inside the Managed plan: a strategist plans and approves every test, and acceleroi builds, tests and ships it. Managed starts with a conversation.

The page check is the audit: a page's leaks, ranked by what each one costs, in about five minutes.

How our consulting methodology works

  1. Discovery (Week 1). We map your full funnel, instrument any missing analytics, pull conversion data for the last 90 days, and review your existing test history and tooling.
  2. Research (Week 2). Qualitative research: session recordings, heatmaps, user interviews if available. Quantitative analysis: drop-off identification, segment performance, device patterns.
  3. Hypothesis development (Week 3). Behavioral hypotheses grounded in 48 research-backed heuristics from CXL, BJ Fogg's behavior model, and Cialdini's persuasion principles. Every hypothesis includes a falsification criterion.
  4. Roadmap & forecast. ICE-prioritized list with effort × confidence × impact scoring. Revenue forecast based on your traffic and AOV.
  5. Ongoing (the Managed plan). A strategist plans and approves every test; acceleroi builds, tests and ships it.

Who we work with

We're selective, both because a strategist's time is finite and because consulting only delivers ROI when the brand has the capacity to act on the work.

Ideal client profile:

  • $5M+ annual revenue (eCommerce GMV or SaaS ARR).
  • 20K+ monthly sessions to converting pages (statistical power for tests).
  • In-house designer, developer, and analyst, or willingness to hire.
  • Existing analytics setup (GA4, Shopify, Stripe, Mixpanel, Amplitude, or similar).
  • Leadership buy-in to act on test results, even when they contradict opinion.

Not a fit: pre-PMF startups, sub-$5M brands without engineering capacity, brands looking for a one-month "CRO sprint" with no follow-through, brands looking for tactical copy/design tweaks without underlying research.
