Conversion Rate

📊Tracking & Measurement

Conversion Rate (CR) is the percentage of users who complete a conversion — purchase, form, call — out of the total clicks on an ad.

What it is

Conversion rate is the percentage of ad clicks that end in a conversion - a purchase, a submitted form, or a call. It's calculated by dividing conversions by clicks and multiplying by a hundred.

CR = (Konverzije ÷ Klikovi) × 100

My take

When I see a conversion rate under one percent alongside a high bounce rate, the first thing I check isn't the campaign but the landing page - that's usually where the money leaks.

Example

A campaign with 300 clicks and 9 completed forms has a conversion rate of three percent (9 divided by 300, times a hundred).
