CVR (Conversion rate)

CVR is the percentage of visitors who complete the desired action (purchase, signup, lead) after clicking.

What it means

CVR is calculated as conversions ÷ clicks (or sessions). It reflects landing page quality, offer-market fit, trust, and message match between the ad and the page. Great creative can improve CVR by attracting the right intent and setting expectations clearly.

Why it matters

  • CVR is often the biggest lever for profitability at scale.

How to improve it

  • Ensure message match: same promise in ad and landing page.
  • Use clearer proof (reviews, demos, results where compliant).
  • Reduce friction in the funnel (forms, steps, load time).

Common mistakes

  • Driving cheap clicks that don’t match the offer.
  • Burying pricing, trust, or key objections on the page.
