Traffic without conversion is wasted spend

CRO agencies range from enterprise testing programmes running hundreds of experiments a year to smaller ecommerce specialists who focus on product pages, cart and checkout specifically. The right size of partner depends on your traffic volume — small stores rarely have enough sessions for statistically valid A/B tests, and need structured audit-and-fix work instead.

This list groups UK agencies by that distinction: enterprise dedicated CRO, ecommerce-focused testing specialists, and Shopify-specific CRO. LoudCrowd is included as a Shopify-specific specialist, running CRO alongside SEO rather than as a standalone testing programme.

Questions before you shortlist

How much traffic do I need before A/B testing is worth it?
As a rough guide, a few thousand sessions a week per page you want to test — below that, tests take too long to reach statistical significance. Smaller stores get more value from an audit-and-fix approach than a live testing programme.
Is CRO separate from SEO, or should the same team do both?
They compound each other — SEO brings the traffic, CRO decides what happens to it — but they need different skills. For smaller stores without the traffic for formal testing, having one team handle both (auditing and fixing conversion issues as part of SEO work) is often more practical than paying for two separate programmes.
What is the single highest-impact CRO fix for a Shopify store?
Consistently: removing surprise costs at checkout (shipping, tax) and offering guest checkout without forcing account creation. Both are proven, low-effort fixes that do not require a live testing programme to justify.

Final thoughts

Enterprise CRO agencies need traffic volume most stores do not have; for everyone else, a structured audit against known conversion issues does more good than a testing programme without the sessions to validate it.
