What Is a Good Conversion Rate?

Ecommerce sites typically convert 2-3% of visitors, so anything above 3% is better than average and 5% or more puts you near the top tier. Dedicated landing pages usually run higher, with 2-5% typical and the best performers reaching 10% or more.

Context matters more than the raw number. High-intent traffic such as branded search converts far better than cold social traffic, and a $20 product converts more easily than a $2,000 one. Track your own rate by channel over time and treat industry averages as rough orientation.

Common mistakes

  • Mixing visitors and sessions metrics
  • Comparing rates across different attribution models without adjustments
  • Ignoring conversion quality and revenue impact

Limitations

This calculator estimates raw conversion rate and does not account for attribution model differences, delayed conversions, deduplication logic, or conversion value weighting.
