Conversion Rate

The percentage of visitors who take a desired action like making a purchase, submitting a form, or booking a call. The headline metric for most marketing efforts.

Conversion rate varies enormously by industry, traffic source, and what counts as a conversion. For most small business websites, 2-5% visitor-to-form-submission is reasonable. Below 1% suggests fundamental problems with the offer, the page, or the traffic source.
