What is Conversion Rate?

Conversion rate measures the percentage of visitors or ad clicks that complete a desired action — a purchase, sign-up, form fill, or other goal. It's one of the most important metrics in digital marketing because it directly connects traffic to business outcomes.

A high conversion rate means your landing page, offer, and audience are well-aligned. A low conversion rate — even with high traffic — means you're leaving money on the table at the bottom of the funnel.

What counts as a conversion? Conversions depend on your campaign goal: purchases (e-commerce), leads (B2B), app installs, newsletter signups, video plays, or any trackable action that indicates value.

How to Calculate Conversion Rate

Conversion rate is calculated by dividing the number of conversions by the total number of visitors (or clicks), then multiplying by 100.

  1. Define what counts as a conversion for your campaign
  2. Count total visitors or clicks in the same period
  3. Divide conversions by visitors and multiply by 100

You can also use conversion rate to plan campaigns — if you know your target conversion rate and needed conversions, calculate how many visitors you need to drive. Or estimate conversions from a known traffic volume.

What is a Good Conversion Rate?

Conversion rates vary widely by industry, traffic source, and conversion type. The most useful benchmark is your own historical performance — consistent improvement matters more than an industry average.

Conversion Type Average CVR Top Quartile
E-commerce Purchase 1–3% > 5%
Lead Gen Form 5–15% > 20%
SaaS Free Trial Signup 2–5% > 8%
B2B Demo Request 1–3% > 5%
Email Newsletter Signup 1–5% > 8%
App Install (from ad) 1–2% > 4%

Conversion Rates by Traffic Source

Where your traffic comes from significantly impacts conversion rate. Paid search typically converts best because visitors have demonstrated high intent through their search query.

Traffic Source Avg. E-commerce CVR Notes
Paid Search (Google) 3–5% High intent queries
Organic Search (SEO) 2–3% Strong for informational intent
Paid Social (Meta) 1–2% Interruption-based, lower intent
Email 4–6% Warm audience with prior interest
Retargeting 5–10% Prior site visitors, highest intent
Direct / Branded 3–5% Existing customers and brand seekers
