The formula is calculated by dividing the number of conversions by the total number of visitors and multiplying by 100. A conversion can be anything from making a purchase to signing up for a newsletter or downloading a whitepaper. CVR is the ultimate indicator of how effective your website and marketing campaigns are at persuading users. A low CVR usually indicates issues with the user experience, the offer itself, or the relevance of the incoming
