why did conversion rate drop

Conversion dropped. Find the step, then find out why.

Dashboards show that a number moved. Scrutinizr finds the funnel step where it moved most, then creates a short survey for exactly the customers in that group, so the data and the reasons sit side by side.

The problem

Why this is hard today

Guesswork

Teams change the wrong part of the funnel.

Wrong signal

Analytics cannot say why users left.

Slow answers

By the time anyone asks customers, the moment has passed.

How it works

How Scrutinizr does it

  1. 01

    Connect data

    Upload CSV or connect Google Analytics, Stripe, HubSpot or PostHog.

  2. 02

    Find the drop

    Each step is compared with the previous period.

  3. 03

    Ask the group

    A “why” survey is created for the customers who dropped.

  4. 04

    Track the fix

    Re-run monthly to see whether the change worked.

What you get

The result

  • The step with the biggest drop and its size
  • Customer reasons for that step
  • Suggested next test
  • Monthly comparison
Illustrative example

Example: trial to paid

Trial-to-paid fell from 14% to 9%. The survey of non-converting trials showed most ran out of trial before importing data. A longer trial for teams with large imports recovered most of the drop.

Questions

Good to know.

Does this prove the cause?

No. It shows where the drop happened and what customers say. Test a fix and check whether the number recovers.

Do I need a data warehouse?

No. A CSV export works.

Can it run every month?

Yes, with a monthly cadence that compares each run with the last.
