Conversion

Definition

When a visitor completes a desired action.

In Plain English

A conversion is like closing a sale—the goal you were working toward.

Real-World Example

Email signups, purchases, demo requests, and contact form submissions are all conversions.

Why It Matters for Your Work

Conversion rate is a key metric. Improving it increases revenue without increasing traffic.

Common Mistake

Tracking vanity metrics instead of conversions. Page views mean nothing if nobody converts.
