AI agent for conversion rate optimization specialists
Test Idea Backlog Prioritization Agent
Produce a ranked test queue where every idea is backed by data and can be tested in time.
What it does
Many CRO teams keep a backlog of fifty ideas ranked by whoever spoke last. The agent pulls analytics, heatmap notes and results of past tests, then scores each idea on impact, confidence and effort using that evidence. Before ranking, it runs a feasibility check: it estimates the traffic and baseline conversion of the page and calculates how long the test would need to reach a reliable result. Ideas that cannot reach significance in a reasonable time are dropped or sent back with a suggestion, such as testing a higher-traffic page or a bolder change. It also checks past tests to avoid repeating a failed idea. The specialist approves the ranked queue. Edge case: a high-impact idea on a page with only 300 visits a month, which would take over a year to test.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
Read the steps as a list
- New ideas arrive or monthly review starts
- Pull analytics and heatmap notes for each page in the backlog
- Look up past tests on the same page or idea
- Score each idea on impact, confidence and effort
- Estimate baseline conversion and weekly traffic per page
- Calculate the test length needed for a reliable result
- Can the test finish within 6 weeks?If not: suggest a bolder variant or a higher-traffic page and rescore, or drop the idea. Back to step 4.
- Rank the ideas and note the evidence for each score
- Does any ranked idea repeat a past losing test without a new angle?If not: lower its confidence score and re-rank. Back to step 8.
- Specialist approves the ranked queueThe agent waits here for your OK.
- Queue published to the testing board
How it decides
Score is impact times confidence divided by effort. An idea stays in the queue only if the test can reach significance within the set number of weeks.
- Drop an idea if the test needs more than 6 weeks at current traffic
- Lower confidence when a similar test lost in the last 12 months
- Weight ideas backed by two data sources above gut-feel ideas
- Group ideas for the same page so tests do not overlap
Make it yours
Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.
- Scoring weights
- Maximum test length (default 6 weeks)
- Significance and power levels
- Data sources
- How often the queue is rebuilt
What keeps you in control
It always asks you first
- Specialist approves the ranked queue
- Specialist approves dropping an idea
Hard limits
- Never start or stop a live test
- Show the data behind every score
It stops when
- Done: queue approved and published
- Stop: analytics data is missing for a page, mark its ideas as unscored
