Conversion Rate Optimization

What Is the Conversion Rate, and How is it Calculated?

Conversion rate is the result of dividing the total number of customers by the whole website’s traffic (organic, direct, social, referral, etc). This would be in percent.

Does your local Vancouver website convert most of the traffic to real customers? If not, read the following definitions.

Website Traffic

The number of online users who visit your website through organic, direct, referral, or paid search.

Search Engine Optimization only focuses on improving the organic traffic of a website. Organic traffic refers to those who have searched for a query on Google and visited your website link / URL.

Call to Action (CTA)

In order to attract the visitors, you need to add sections like button or banner so the users may contact you. Leaving your website without reaching out to you is definitely not something you want. So, you should consider an area on your website where you are going to add CTAs.

Conversion is the quantity of website traffic driven to your website turning into real leads using the website’s CTAs.

Simply put, the conversion rate is the result of dividing your business real leads by your total website traffic in percent.

Performance

How fast does your website load? Are you providing a high-quality experience for your visitors?

Well, having a fast loading website with a great user experience is a must, otherwise, your business won’t be successful.

Your website conversion rate is influenced by the performance of website speed, user experience (UX), user interface (UI) and relevancy.

The user interface is the visual version of your website. It contains the use of features such as sharp colors along with negative spaces and in-place separators as well as adding unique and relevant images.

According to MOZ, most people would rather look at actual faces than stock photos. More interestingly, the direction of your look sort of dictates the direction of your visitors’ look. For instance, if there is a face on your webpage looking down the page somewhere, the visitor’s eyes will also be directed to that direction on the spur of the moment. Thus, it matters that you look to your CTA or the product you want to sell. In addition, having a small smile on your face can attract a lot more attention to your photo.

Content is also one of the most important factors in converting visitors into leads. If you have provided a relevant and of course unique content for the readers, why shouldn’t they turn into customers?
