Conversion Rate
Measure conversion rate by dividing conversions by visitors. Enter total visitors and conversions to get rate, conversions per 1,000, and drop‑offs.
What is conversion rate?
Conversion rate is the share of visitors that complete a desired action (purchase, signup, download, etc.).
How to use this calculator
Provide total visitors and conversions over a period. The tool computes the conversion rate and handy normalization metrics.
Why it matters
Conversion rate highlights friction and value alignment. Improving it increases ROI without more traffic.
Example
100k visitors and 2.5k conversions → 2.5% conversion rate, 25 conversions per 1,000 visitors.
Assumptions & limitations
Rates vary by segment and intent. Use cohort breakdowns and avoid mixing branded and generic traffic.
Formula
Conversion rate = Conversions ÷ Visitors × 100%. Normalize with conversions per 1,000 visitors to compare periods and traffic scales.
Benchmarks
Benchmarks vary widely: e‑commerce often sees 1–3%, lead‑gen 2–7%, and high‑intent branded traffic can exceed 10%. Always compare against your own historical and segment‑level baselines.
Segmentation and intent
Segment by source, campaign, device, and geo. Separate branded vs non‑branded queries, and new vs returning visitors to avoid averaging away important patterns.
CRO checklist
- Match page messaging to query and ad intent.
- Reduce friction: simpler forms, faster loads, clearer CTAs.
- Use social proof and risk reducers (free trial, guarantees).
- Test pricing and value communication; clarify differentiation.
- Measure with proper attribution and avoid seasonality bias.
Step‑by‑step example
If 2,500 users convert out of 100,000 visitors, CR = 2,500 ÷ 100,000 × 100% = 2.5%. Conversions per 1k visitors = 2,500 ÷ 100,000 × 1,000 = 25.
