Conversion Rate
The percentage of visitors or leads who complete a desired action, such as signing up or purchasing.
Definition
Conversion rate measures the effectiveness of turning one stage into the next: website visitors to leads, leads to opportunities, opportunities to customers. It's calculated as (conversions ÷ total visitors) × 100. Different touchpoints have different benchmark rates, and optimization focuses on improving each conversion point.
Why It Matters
Conversion rate directly impacts ROI. Improving conversion rate means getting more results from the same traffic or spend. A 2% to 4% improvement in conversion rate doubles your leads without increasing acquisition costs.
Examples
- Website visitor to lead: 2-5% typical, 40% with visitor ID
- Lead to MQL: 10-30% typical
- MQL to SQL: 20-40% typical
- SQL to customer: 15-30% typical
