Senior CRO consultants, conversion experts, and CRO specialists for DTC, B2B SaaS, fintech, ecommerce, and PE-backed operators
When you hire a CRO consultant from us, you get one senior operator working directly with your team, not an agency account manager handing off to junior CRO analysts. The CRO expert doing the experiment design is the same person reviewing results with your leadership.
Hire a CRO specialist when you need senior expertise on a defined problem: a conversion-flow rebuild, a pricing-page test, a checkout optimization, an experimentation-program launch. Project-bound engagements with a senior consultant. For larger ongoing programs see our CRO consulting services page.
CRO consultant engagements typically start within 1-2 weeks of contract signing. Senior practitioners run lean: fewer cycles wasted on context-building, more cycles on the actual experiment design and execution.
The senior CRO consultant model: one senior operator working directly with your team on a defined conversion problem: produces better results than agency engagements for most growth-stage companies. The math is straightforward: agencies sell senior partners and deliver work through junior teams. Senior CRO consultants deliver the work themselves. Same hours of senior-practitioner attention, often at half the agency cost, with zero handoff loss between strategy and execution. Hire a CRO consultant when you need senior expertise on a specific situation; hire a CRO consulting firm (see our consulting services page) when you need a larger ongoing program with multiple workstreams.
The thing that separates senior CRO consultants from junior CRO analysts is experimentation discipline. Hypotheses prioritized by expected value. Statistical power calculations done honestly. Results interpreted against effect-size thresholds rather than p-value theater. Failed experiments documented as learning rather than buried. Senior CRO experts bring that discipline; junior analysts often don't have the operating reps yet.
Hire a CRO specialist when the scope is defined and the outcomes are measurable. Typical engagements: rebuild the demo-signup flow (8-12 weeks, target +25-40% conversion lift); optimize the pricing page (4-6 weeks, target measurable lift on price-page-to-trial conversion); launch the experimentation program (12 weeks, target 20+ experiments shipped with documented learnings). Each is a project-shaped engagement that benefits from a senior practitioner working directly.
For larger ongoing CRO programs: multiple concurrent workstreams, team training, experimentation infrastructure rebuild, multi-quarter strategic engagement: the right shape is a CRO consulting services engagement rather than a single CRO consultant. Our consulting services practice handles those scopes; see the linked page.

Common questions from teams looking to hire a CRO consultant.
Hire a CRO consultant (individual practitioner) when the scope is defined and the situation is project-shaped: a specific conversion flow to rebuild, a pricing page to test, an experimentation program to launch. Hire a CRO consulting firm or services engagement when the scope spans multiple workstreams, multiple quarters, and requires broader operating-model work. Our CRO consulting services page covers the firm-engagement model; this page covers individual consultant engagements.
Terminology only: the terms are interchangeable in industry usage. All refer to senior practitioners focused specifically on conversion rate optimization work. Our roster includes operators who self-describe across all three framings.
First experiment design in week 1-2; first experiment running in week 2-3; first results in week 4-6 depending on traffic volume and statistical-power requirements. Senior CRO practitioners move fast because they don't need ramp.
Project fees typically run $8K-$25K for a defined CRO engagement (flow rebuild, pricing optimization, etc.). Monthly retainers for ongoing senior practitioner work run $8K-$20K depending on scope. For larger multi-workstream programs see our CRO consulting services page.
Yes, our roster includes CRO specialists across B2B SaaS, DTC ecommerce, fintech, healthcare technology, services, and lead-gen. The intake routes to the practitioner most fluent in your category.
Either model works. Most engagements involve the consultant designing experiments, your team configuring in the testing tool, and the consultant analyzing results. For teams without in-house testing-tool expertise, the consultant can configure directly.
