What's the typical ROI from CRO investments?

As an e-commerce business owner, I'm constantly looking for ways to improve my conversion rates and maximize revenue. I've heard about Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) but I'm skeptical about the actual financial returns. How much can I realistically expect to invest and what kind of return on investment should I anticipate? I want concrete data and benchmarks to help me make an informed decision about allocating resources to CRO strategies and tools.
