6 Best CRO Agencies in Victoria (2026)

Victoria has more than 701,000 small businesses, and only 22% of them sit in regional communities, according to Business Victoria.

CRO agencies are even more concentrated.

This guide covers six agencies with a verified Victorian office, five in Melbourne and one on the Surf Coast, plus what they charge and what to ask before signing.

CRO agencies by city in Victoria

Only Melbourne has enough verified agencies for its own page. The regional cities point back to it.

• Melbourne: Five of the six agencies here work from Melbourne. For the full city list, see CRO agencies in Melbourne.
• Geelong and the Surf Coast: Adaptify, headquartered in Burnley, runs a second office on Mackey Street in North Geelong and offers CRO with A/B testing. 3228Digital in Torquay covers the Surf Coast and Bellarine.
• Ballarat and Bendigo: We found no agency with a local office and a current CRO service in either city, so the Melbourne picks are the nearest options.

The 6 CRO agencies covering Victoria

Every agency below passed three checks on its own site this October: a Victorian street address, a CRO service it describes in its own words and work dated within the last 18 months.

1. Chromatix: Best for Lead Generation

Chromatix designs and rebuilds websites around conversion from Burke Road in Camberwell, in Melbourne’s east.

Founder Irwin Hau spent 21 years as an illusionist before turning his interest in persuasion psychology into a web conversion framework.

Its CRO work covers Google Analytics reviews, user journey analysis, visual hierarchy and UX changes to service pages, landing pages and enquiry flows.

The CRO page cites a 181% conversion lift for a manufacturer, measured off a high base. Engagements open with a free website audit.

Good fit: Service and B2B firms whose site needs a conversion-led rebuild.

Not a fit: Teams after testing alone, with no design or rebuild in scope.

2. Prosper: Best for Shopify Plus

Prosper Digital runs a Melbourne studio in South Yarra, on Wilson Street, and a second one in Surry Hills, Sydney.

Its CRO offer starts with a fixed-price store audit, usually delivered within two weeks of kickoff as one prioritised report. Kulani Kinis and Meshki both started with that audit.

The same team then researches, designs, builds and tests each change, with a plain-English readout after every experiment.

A rebuild for Lioness lifted conversion rate 74% and total sales 113% in the six weeks after launch, compared with the same period a year earlier.

Good fit: Shopify Plus merchants who want one studio for audits, testing and builds.

Not a fit: Brands on Magento, WooCommerce or custom stacks.

3. Resolution Digital: Best for CX

Resolution Digital‘s Melbourne team sits on Little Collins Street, with its Sydney base in South Eveleigh.

CRO there sits next to a customer experience practice that runs journey mapping, CX maturity audits and voice-of-customer programmes. Testing covers A/B/n and multivariate experiments.

Winning variants can move into personalisation, which suits brands with large, segmented audiences. The consultancy has won B&T’s Best Digital Services award three years running, most recently in 2024.

Good fit: Enterprise teams that want research, testing and CX strategy from one partner.

Not a fit: Smaller sites that need quick fixes more than a research programme.

4. SIXGUN: Best for SEO Plus CRO

SIXGUN is an SEO and digital marketing agency in Richmond that also runs CRO as a separate service.

Research comes first: Google Analytics, heatmaps, session recordings, user surveys and user testing show where visitors drop off. The team then writes hypotheses and runs A/B tests against them.

It pitches CRO as a slot-in team for businesses already getting traffic, and its CRO page lists case studies including Essendon Natural Health.

Work begins with a free audit.

Good fit: Firms already paying for SEO or Google Ads that want conversion work run alongside them.

Not a fit: Large brands needing personalisation across many audience segments.

5. Alley Group: Best for Big Ad Budgets

Alley Group is an independent agency with its Victorian office on Balaclava Road in Caulfield North, plus offices in North Sydney and Los Angeles.

Its CRO team designs new page versions and pre-tests them before any code is written, then builds the version that wins. The agency says it has tested more than 100 pages this way.

Case studies name ADT Security, where redesigned pages lifted call rate 165%, and AAT Kings.

Good fit: Brands spending heavily on paid media that need a lower cost per lead.

Not a fit: Small businesses below the budget ranges on its enquiry form.

6. 3228Digital: Best for Regional VIC

3228Digital works from Cylinders Drive in Torquay and serves clients across the Surf Coast, the Bellarine and Geelong, as well as Melbourne.

Its CRO service starts with research into your industry and audience and a full audit of the site, from layout to messaging.

You then get an actionable report. Your own developers can apply it, or the 3228Digital team can make the changes with you, and it also runs SEO and social to bring in traffic.

Good fit: Surf Coast, Bellarine and Geelong businesses that want a nearby team.

Not a fit: Busy online stores wanting a structured A/B testing programme.

What CRO costs in Victoria

Only one agency here publishes a CRO price: Prosper Digital’s fixed-price audit. Two others show budget floors on their enquiry forms.

• A one-off audit: Prosper Digital lists its CRO audit at A$7,500, with any ongoing work scoped afterwards.
• Monthly budgets: SIXGUN’s enquiry form starts at $1,000 to $2,000 a month, and Alley Group’s at $10,000 to $20,000. Both cover all services, not CRO alone.
• Quote first: Chromatix, Resolution Digital and 3228Digital set a price after a call or audit.
• What moves the number: Whether the agency builds and launches tests, how many run each month, and whether the testing tool’s licence sits outside the fee.
• GST: Ask whether a quote includes it, since agencies differ.

Questions to ask before you sign

These six questions separate a testing partner from an agency that hands over a report and leaves.

• Who builds the test versions? Some agencies design and code each variant. Others send recommendations for your developers.
• How long will one test run on my traffic? A clear answer shows the agency has looked at your numbers.
• Which testing tool will you use, and who pays for it? Licences can add a monthly cost on top of the retainer.
• What does the first month deliver? Expect tracking fixes, an audit and a ranked list of tests.
• Can I speak to a client with similar traffic? A store with 5,000 monthly visitors needs a different plan from one with 500,000.
• What do I keep if we stop? Ask for test results, designs and code in writing.
