Glow & Co.

Conversion 1.6% → 4.2%

Glow & Co. was paying for traffic that bounced. We rebuilt the hero, ran 11 A/B tests across the PDP, and collapsed checkout to two steps — taking conversion from 1.6% to 4.2% on the same ad spend.

The problem

What was broken

Glow & Co. had spent two years optimising acquisition and almost nothing on the on-site funnel. Paid CAC was creeping up every quarter, the PDP had four competing CTAs, and the checkout asked for an account before payment. Bounce on mobile was 71% and add-to-cart from PDP was a flat 3.4% — even on returning visitors. The founders were considering pausing Meta ads entirely.

The approach

What we did

  1. 1

    Ran a 5-day teardown: session replays, funnel maths, heatmaps, and a heuristic review of the top 6 PDPs. Found 14 leaks, ranked by expected revenue impact and dev cost.

  2. 2

    Rebuilt the hero around a single value-prop and a one-shot CTA. Killed the carousel — replaced it with a static lifestyle shot and a benefits strip above the fold.

  3. 3

    Ran 11 A/B tests on the PDP across 6 weeks: review placement, sticky ATC, size selector, social proof copy, urgency framing, and bundle pricing. Shipped only winners (statistical significance ≥95%).

  4. 4

    Collapsed checkout from 4 steps to 2 — guest by default, Shop Pay first, address autofill, and a single shipping rate above the free-ship threshold.

  5. 5

    Wired GA4 + server-side events so Meta and Klaviyo finally saw the same conversion numbers.
