What it is
Conversion rate is the percentage of your website visitors who complete a desired action — fill out a form, book a call, make a purchase, sign up for something. If 1,000 people visit your site and 30 fill out a contact form, your conversion rate is 3%.
Why it matters
Conversion rate is the number that connects your website to your revenue. You can have massive traffic and a terrible conversion rate and make no money. Or you can have modest traffic and a great conversion rate and be booked out. Traffic without conversion is just vanity.
The mistake most people make
Obsessing over getting more traffic instead of improving conversions first. Doubling your traffic with a 1% conversion rate gives you twice as much of a broken funnel. Improving your conversion rate from 1% to 3% with the same traffic triples your leads. Fix the leaky bucket before you fill it.
