Understanding Customers Across A Non-Traditional Funnel
WOW! is a leading provider of high-speed internet, cable TV, and phone services in the United States. With a mission to provide reliable and affordable services to its customers, WOW! has been consistently delivering exceptional connectivity solutions for over two decades.
As WOW!‘s Conversion Rate Optimization partner since 2019, we leveraged analytics to provide longitudinal performance and key insights derived through A/B testing.
The Challenge
WOW! has a unique business model in that its products and services are limited to serviceable geographic areas. As such, they need to understand how to best reach their target customers and ensure an ideal customer experience for those who are within their ideal customer profiles. As one can imagine, the customer journey and onsite experience are fraught with nuances in aspiring to this goal.
The Solution
Due to the unique customer journey, a typical funnel analysis wasn’t going to suffice. We began by ensuring we were properly capturing and collecting data, and that analytics were configured optimally against customer use cases and KPIs. This included incorporating website analytics and marketing data into a data warehouse. From there, we configured multi-dimensional funnel analyses, allowing for filtering based on key attributes such as geography, traffic source, device, product and service types. Because determining customer serviceability is complex, we created visualizations to easily understand each aspect of the customer journey. This reporting evolved to include comparison metrics based on key events, such as market shifts, a site redesign, and a CMS integration.
Results
WOW! has plenty of data, but they weren’t sure how to use it to improve their marketing efforts. For example, how to measure whether efforts to improve page speed are having an impact on conversion. Or identifying break points in the funnel and separating out increased traffic from existing customers, versus new customer targeting. By removing confounding variables, these visualizations allow WOW! to extract signal from the noise and get a clearer picture of what is driving conversions.
WOW! now has readily accessible data to drive key business decisions—particularly understanding how consumers use the site and how best to position the site across consumer and business markets, and how to best understand product and service adoption, upgrades, and upsells.
We continue to actively work with the WOW! team, providing analysis, and iteration on their reporting tools, helping them uncover and capitalize on opportunities for growth.

Iterative Experimentation Outperforms the Traditional Website Redesign
Metromile is the leading pay-per-mile car insurance company in the U.S., and one of the first innovators in disrupting the $280 billion personal auto insurance industry.

The Challenge
As with most innovations, market education is crucial to adoption. Having already established a robust channel experimentation program, Metromile was no stranger to testing. However, the ad hoc website testing wasn’t achieving the results they needed, so Metromile turned to Cro Metrics with the goals of lowering Customer Acquisition Costs (CAC) and increasing conversion rates.
The Solution
Initially, Metromile had considered a website redesign to solve its lower than expected conversion rate. After successfully lowering CAC and increasing conversions on Metromile campaign landing pages, we zeroed in on the most impactful experiments and applied these learnings by developing a series of tests to reduce friction in the primary quote funnel. Early success led to a series of iterative tests, leveraging insights based on positive customer response.
Results
Not only did Metromile abandon its idea of a redesign, but saved a 7-figure investment in the initiative. Cro Metrics effectively redesigned the website through iterative testing, leading to a 17% reduction in CAC and 28X ROI for the program.
