Conversion rate

The share of people who completed the action you wanted — a purchase, or sending their details — out of everyone who reached your page.

Formula

Conversion rate = (conversions ÷ visits) × 100

How to read it

  • This number talks about your page and your offer more than your advertising: the same traffic converts differently once the page is fixed.
  • Never compare conversion rates across sources: a visit from a high-intent search is not the same as a visit from a video.
  • Improving it lowers cost per order directly, and it is usually cheaper than raising the budget.

The common mistake

Blaming the advertising for a page problem. An ad sending interested visits to a slow page with unclear pricing reads as a failed ad in the dashboard, while the problem sits one step past it.
