What is Conversion Rate?
Conversion Rate can be defined as the percentage of visitors who take a desired action .
"Conversion rate" is one of the important indicators used by the e-commerce industry to evaluate effectiveness. Most people often mistakenly believe that conversion means completing an order. However, on different types of websites, the ways in which visitors can generate value for the website are different, and the conversion behaviors will also be different.
The following behaviors can actually be used as conversion goals:
Subscribe to website content (newsletter)
Register as a member
Mobile web phone call
Click or scan the QR code to join the official Line
Click on a call to action (CTA) button (e.g. Ask for your opinion now)
