The majority of CRO firms don't promise any guarantees on marketplace take rate improvement and simply charge a fixed monthly fee avoiding any growth obligations.
We conduct preliminary quantitative analytics before we make an offer in order to forecast a specific percentage of increase of take rate that we guarantee by an agreed date.
For example, it could be 11% total take rate growth in three months.
In case of not delivering by the deadline, which happens in 4-7% of cases, we perform more A/B tests for FREE until we deliver the forecasted take rate growth.
Sounds fair? This forecast of guaranteed growth is based on our experience of conversion optimization on million monthly users of our clients in marketplace and understanding of take rate average conversion rates.
How do we optimize marketplace take rate?
Ask them about the experience with:
Most CRO agencies assert to have conversion rate optimization process expertise and preach the same story of their mastery in quantitative research and A/B testing.
And your in-house team should have at least enough experience to understand the depth of this expertise on initial calls, which could be hard to do.
What do you do if you can't do a competence interview on analytics skills and A/B testing? The simple solution is to ask for their experience in a similar business model, as any marketplace has similar problems and best practices.
Isn't it great when an agency has already carried out the same research on millions of users and gained data on how to optimize take rate? On the other hand, different business models typically have completely unique technical and data tracking stacks that need distinct skills, processes and mindsets.
And if you hire a contractor not to micro-manage, you don t want the agency to operate entirely on a trial and error basis or find them quickly hiring new team members to cover skill shortages, right? Not least of all is industry experience, which is all about knowing unique user demands.
And that's the primary goal of the analytics if the agency already demonstrates the business model expertise.
So it's obviously a clear differentiator if the agency has that, but it dramatically decreases the shortlist of contractors with all three pillars (process, marketplace, and industry experience).
But if the CRO agency has worked with 327 clients as we have, then they likely have experience in the same market as yours.
And even if it's from a different business model it could be even more beneficial as it can uncover uncommon take rate growth hacks that your competitors may be not utilize yet.
How to create an effective take rate optimization strategy?
After growing a number of marketplace customers, we understood that there is no universal list of top-performing strategies to optimize take rate. The key is in the depth of quantitative analytics and UX research that results in strong conclusions on the top-priority drop off. The most effective best practices for take rate optimization are typically already used by competitors and already don't drive significant additional growth. And the expertise of a CRO firm is to be on the cutting edge of strategies, leveraging processes from other industries that are not yet used by the competition.
What is the price of take rate CRO services?
Pricing depends on the volume of monthly users, funnels and number of conversions to calculate the number of experiments, the required results and the difficulty of executing that.
What happens if the forecasted take rate improvement is not delivered?
We do more experiments free of charge until we bring the promised take rate growth. This obligation is in the contract and we execute this promise anyway maintain the authority of one of the most trusted CRO agencies.

How to calculate take rate improvement?
We measure the impact on take rate based on split-test results. If you're new to it, it's dividing the users between different variations of the same page to gain a big enough sample size of the impact on the take rate. We do a data tracking audit before starting with conversion optimization, to be confident that the data is valid and discuss ways to calculate the take rate.
