SAAS activation rate optimization

Forecast on guaranteed activation rate growth

The majority of CRO firms don't promise any guarantees on SAAS activation rate optimization results and just charge a fixed monthly rate without any growth KPIs.

We conduct research before we accept a new client so that we can forecast a specific percentage of increase of activation rate that we can achieve by an agreed time milestone.

As an example, it could be 9% total activation rate uplift in 4 months.

In case of not delivering on time, which happens in 4-7% of projects, we do more A/B tests for FREE until we deliver the promised activation rate growth.

Sounds good? This estimation of guaranteed uplift is based on our experience of conversion optimization on 26 million monthly users of our clients in SAAS and understanding of activation rate average conversion rates.

How do we optimize SAAS activation rate?

Track record in optimizing SAAS activation rate

We have done about 513 A/B tests for 45 SAAS projects and a lot of them needed activation rate optimization. Request the most similar SAAS case studies for similar market.

There are three important characteristics to check when you assess the expertise of a CRO agency.

Ask them about the experience with:

  1. process
  2. SAAS
  3. same audience.

The majority of conversion rate optimization agencies claim to have conversion optimization process expertise and pitch the same story of their skills in analytics and experimentation.

And you should have at least enough hands-on experience to assess the level of these skills at the interview stage, which could be difficult.

How do you choose if you can't do a technical assessment on data tracking and experimentation? In this case you can ask for their experience in a similar business model, as any SAAS has similar pain points and analytics frameworks.

Isn't it great when a conversion optimization firm has already carried out the same research on millions of users and gained data on how to improve activation rate? On the flip side, different business models typically have completely unique tech and analytics stacks that require different specialists, processes and mindsets.

And if you hire a contractor expecting a turnkey solution, you don t want the agency to be inexperienced or find them hastily hiring freelancers to cover gaps in their team, right? Last but not least is market experience, which is all about knowing unique customer demands.

And that's the primary goal of the analytics if the CRO agency already shows the business model experience.

So it's obviously a clear competitive advantage if the agency has that, but it dramatically narrows the pool of CRO agencies with all three pillars (process, SAAS, and industry expertise).

But if the conversion optimization firm has worked with 324 clients like we have, then they likely have experience in yours.

And even if it's from a different business model it could be even more helpful as it can uncover new activation rate optimization tactics that your competitors may be not utilize yet.

What is a good SAAS activation rate?

The first goal of SAAS CRO process is to identify the biggest leak in the funnel. Even if you've done advanced funnel analytics, cohorts, and quantitative user journey research, how do you prove that your current activation rate is good or bad? Clearly the critical element is to get trustworthy and recent statistics on SAAS activation rate benchmarks in your niche.
