Impression to Conversion Rate
The percentage of users who take a desired action (like making a purchase or signing up) after viewing an advertisement or digital content.
Description
In the digital marketing landscape, 'Impression to Conversion Rate' is a crucial metric that helps businesses understand the effectiveness of their online campaigns. Essentially, it measures how many people took a specified action out of those who saw the ad or content. This rate is calculated by dividing the number of conversions by the number of impressions and then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage. A high conversion rate indicates that the ad or content was compelling and relevant to the audience, while a low conversion rate suggests that improvements may be needed. This metric is particularly valuable for optimizing ad spend, improving targeting, and refining marketing strategies to better meet business goals.
Examples
- An e-commerce website ran a Facebook ad campaign that was seen by 10,000 users (impressions). Out of these, 200 users made a purchase (conversions). The impression to conversion rate would be (200/10,000)*100 = 2%.
- A software company launched a Google Ads campaign for a new app. The ad received 50,000 impressions, and 1,000 users downloaded the app. The impression to conversion rate is (1,000/50,000)*100 = 2%.
Additional Information
