What is conversion rate?
Conversion Rate is a digital marketing and ecommerce metric that measures the percentage of visitors turned into customers. Conversion Rate is always measured in percent.
How do you calculate the conversion rate
To calculate the conversion rate, you have to divide conversions (purchases, for instance) by the number of visitors and multiply by 100%. The conversion may be any action that you want the visitors to take.
Example: You have 1,000 visitors to your online store a month. These visitors make 50 purchases a month. You will calculate the conversion rate this way: 50/1,000*100%=5%.
Not bad!
