How Conversion Rate Calculation Works

Conversion Rate = (Conversions / Total Visitors) × 100%

Conversion rate measures the percentage of visitors who complete a desired action - purchasing, signing up, downloading, or any defined goal. It's the fundamental metric for measuring website and marketing effectiveness. Worked example: an online store with 8,500 monthly visitors and 374 orders converts at 374 ÷ 8,500 × 100 = 4.4% — well above the ~2.5% e-commerce median. Lifting it to 5.1% with the same traffic adds 60 orders, worth $9,000 at a $150 AOV.

How do I improve conversion rate?
