Conversion rate

Short definition

The simple answer

Conversion rate is the percentage of users who complete a desired action, such as submitting a form, buying, booking, downloading or starting a WhatsApp conversation. It helps evaluate how effectively traffic turns into business outcomes.

Conversion rate connects traffic quality with page effectiveness. A campaign can drive many visitors, but the business value depends on how many take action. The mistake is reading conversion rate without context. Offer, audience intent, device, page speed and follow-up all influence the number.
