The percentage of ad clickers who complete a desired action. Measures landing page and offer effectiveness after the click.

Formula

(Conversions ÷ Clicks) × 100

Benchmark range

Google Search: 7.52%. Google Display: 0.57%. Facebook Leads: 7.72%. Amazon: 9-10%. Auto Repair: 14.67% (highest Google).

Why it matters

Conversion rate problems are usually landing page problems, not ad problems. Test page speed, form length, and offer clarity before blaming targeting. LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms convert 5x higher than landing pages due to pre-filled data.
