What metrics indicate that my CRO strategy is working?

I'm struggling to understand whether my conversion rate optimization (CRO) efforts are actually making a meaningful impact on my e-commerce store's performance. I've implemented various strategies, but I'm unsure how to systematically measure their effectiveness. I need clear, quantifiable metrics that can help me track improvements, identify areas of success, and justify my investment in CRO initiatives. What specific indicators should I be monitoring to determine if my optimization efforts are truly driving business growth?
