Define the outcome and the denominator.
A conversion rate needs a precise definition of both the completed action and the population eligible to complete it. This topic focuses on those choices, the difference between event counts and converting sessions, and the context needed to interpret a rate responsibly.
Start with an action connected to your website’s purpose. Decide how repeated actions are treated and document the comparison period. Keep the count visible alongside the rate, especially when activity is limited. A percentage becomes more useful when its inputs can be checked and its role in the decision is clear.
