What is a conversion goal?

A goal turns a vague wish, such as "more inquiries", into a number. You decide which action counts, and the analytics tool counts how often it happens.

Goals can be based on events, for example a click or a form, or on page visits, for example the thank-you page after an order.

Why Conversion goal matters

  • A goal makes success measurable.
  • It lets you compare sources, campaigns and pages by results, not only by visitors.
  • It is the basis for the conversion rate.

Practical tips

  • Start with one or two goals that matter to your business.
  • Name goals so that everyone understands them.
  • Check goals after every relaunch.
