How can I use market research to inform my CRO approach?

As an e-commerce business owner, I'm struggling to understand how market research can actually improve my conversion rate optimization (CRO) efforts. I've heard experts talk about data-driven strategies, but I'm unsure how to translate market research insights into concrete website improvements. I want to move beyond guesswork and implement strategic changes that will genuinely increase my conversion rates, but I'm not sure where to start or what specific research methods will provide the most actionable insights for my online store.
