Conversion Rate

Retailers use conversion rates to measure how many website visitors perform a specific action. This could be completing a purchase, joining a mailing list, requesting more information, etc.

In any paid marketing strategy, the conversion is the primary focus metric, if visitors aren’t converting for your advertising/marketing what’s the purpose of performing it over and over again?? Conversion rate optimisation helps marketers optimise and run targeted ads that help improve conversion for every buck they bet on PPC ads, this is one of the best ways to identify the best strategy that converts most of the visitors. 

What is a good-conversation rate as per industry standard?

Is achieving 5%-10% a good conversion rate? As per industry research, the average conversion rate of landing pages is 2.5% but when looked deeper, the top 25% of the conversion funnel converts at 5.31% or higher. Essentially if you want to reach the top 10% of your conversion funnel then the landing pages should achieve close to 11.45% conversion rate on average.

What is a Good Conversion Rate?

As per recent industry research, a good conversion rate is close to 2-5%. If your recurring conversion is firmly sitting at 3% then 6% conversion would be a massive jump. You must have doubled your conversion rate but you would still be at the lower level of conversion bucket. 

Rate= Number of desired completed actions/number of visitors 

If a website isn’t achieving the desired conversion rate, usually customer service is optimized. This usually involves solid analytics and smart personalization. 

Retailers may also improve their conversion rates by carefully considering and adapting the customer experience in terms of ease of use and clear navigation. This means they can easily discern where to click next to find the desired information.
