How to increase your online conversion rates - with Carolina Dibb

35 minutes

If you’ve ever felt frustrated that your website or product listings aren’t converting as well as they should, this episode is for you. I’m joined by Carolina Dibb, e-commerce consultant and conversion rate optimisation expert, to talk about why conversion rates matter and how you can make the most of the traffic you already have.

Carolina has worked with major retailers including Amazon and Mr Porter, and now helps small brands understand their customers, optimise their websites, and ultimately increase sales. In this conversation, we dive into practical strategies you can implement straight away to improve your online conversion rates without overhauling everything at once.

You’ll learn why small details like clarity, trust signals, and mobile experience are crucial for encouraging customers to buy. We also cover the common myths around conversion, why traffic does not equal sales, and how even simple changes can have a significant impact on your conversion rate.

Whether you sell on your own website or through marketplaces like Amazon, this episode will give you practical steps to increase your online conversion rates and maximise the value of your existing traffic.

Hosted by Captivate

If you've been inspired to start a podcast in 2024 then I recommend my podcast host, Captivate.

They were my top pick when I started 4 years ago because of how easy it was for a complete novice to get started. I’ve stuck with them because it’s still simple, they keep adding great new features (like the ability to share ads like these!) and it’s been so reliable.
