A conversion rate is the percentage of users who visit a website and, ultimately, buy something or take an action such as filling out a form for more information or downloading an ebook. Finding out your conversion rate is an easy and beneficial way to monitor how well your website is doing. If you implement paid advertising strategies on Google or Facebook, it’s important to understand what converts to leads. A conversion rate is a great tool for that.
Why should I calculate it?
A conversion rate will give you more insight on how many people interact with it. This will help you better understand your customer and eventually, gain more leads and sales. A conversion rate will track events or thresholds on your website and measure your bottom line.
What types of conversion rates are there?
Sales are a great way to measure your conversion rate and how successful your company is doing, but there are other ways to measure these rates. If you are a lawyer, you may look at the number of people who fill out a form, call you, or partake in a chat interaction. If you are planning an event, you might measure how people register on your website.
