What does "website conversion rate" mean?

Website conversion rate is a critically important metric used to measure and improve website performance. 

It is typically calculated by dividing the number of defined conversions by the number of visits to your website (expressed as a percentage). 

In some industries, and depending on what you're actually trying to measure/improve, it might be calculated using a segment of visits (vs. all visits). 

For example, a local plumber serving Colorado might have a 4% conversion rate when using all visits, but a 14% conversion rate when visits are segmented to only calculate the number using visits in Colorado--after all, can the local plumber really expect a visitor from New York to convert?

Imagine a restaurant would open in the middle of the desert. Would you go? Even if you knew it existed, you would probably not go – unless that restaurant had unique food (value) to offer you.  If you want people to come to your content, you need to: Create unique content that they can’t get anywhere else. If you’re just getting started, make sure you start with a WOW factor – for example, invite an influencer to write a guest post or interview a key figure in your industry. That will help you get initial traction. Invite them to come – Make sure you target the right audience that needs/wants your content and let them know the content is there, be it through social media, newsletters, SEM, or any other re...
