What is Conversion Rate?

Conversion rate is a key performance metric that measures the percentage of visitors who complete a desired action. For creators selling digital products, this typically refers to the percentage of visitors who make a purchase.

How to Calculate Conversion Rate

Conversion Rate = (Number of Conversions / Total Visitors) × 100

Example: If your product page received 1,000 visitors and 50 people made a purchase:

Conversion Rate = (50 / 1,000) × 100 = 5%

What Counts as a Conversion?

Depending on your goals, a conversion could be:

A product purchase
An email signup
A free trial registration
A download
A booking or reservation
