In fact motivation of the visitor is the largest contributing factor of conversion rate. Visitors are willing to go through more hoops to convert if they have a high level of motivation for your conversion action. This does not mean we should let them. As conversion rate marketers we need to always make it easy for our prospects to convert no matter what your conversion action is. However we can not ignore the impact of motivation and how we can leverage it to increase our conversion rate. Knowing your prospects through developing user personas and a deep understanding of your website analytics data will provide the insight you need as a marketer to turn the motivation dial when it comes to increasing your conversion rate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Compared to traffic from email, social media, referrals, organic traffic and even direct traffic, paid
