Conversion rate is the percentage of users who complete a desired action. This action will vary depending on industry and business, and will possibly even change as a marketer moves from one campaign to the next. By looking at each campaign’s goals, you can better determine the best action to compare against the total number of users. Here are some examples of conversions that you can measure:

Once you have decided on a goal (or three) to track, implement the conversion pixel and start track your conversion rate. There are a couple versions of conversion rate formulas out there, but this is how Bannerflow count conversions:
​

Conversion Rate = Clicks / Conversions

As an example of using this formula, let’s say that 1000 people saw your ad and visited your site, and 100 of those users converted. Your campaign’s conversion rate would be 10%. This formula is pretty straight-forward.

​

Just like anything else involved in measuring your marketing success, determining whether you have an optimal conversion rate will depend on your business. The easiest way to know your conversion rate is indicating a successful campaign is by measuring it against past work. To do this, look at your metrics before running a new campaign and use it as a baseline.

For example, let’s say you are a clothing company running a campaign for a new sweater line and want to determine whether your ad campaign is successfully driving conversions. By comparing the new conversion rate to any campaign run in the past, you will get a baseline for measuring the success of your new conversion rate. And if you have no past campaigns to measure against, just know that the higher the percentage, the better your campaign is performing.
