Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) is the art and science of systematically improving, typically through experimentation, the rate at which users perform a desired action. The "action" could include making a purchase, watching a video, downloading a pdf, or anything else that is measurable.
CRO and SEO are often aligned with one another because they often take place in the same spot - on the webpage. Decisions that impact SEO may also influence CRO, and vice versa, and they often use similar metrics and methods.
