Picture this: You're staring at your Google Analytics dashboard, watching thousands of visitors flow through your website like water through a leaky bucket. The traffic numbers look impressive, but your conversion rates? Not so much.
Here's the thing about website conversion analysis—it's not just about counting clicks and page views. It's about understanding the story your data tells. Why do 90% of visitors abandon their shopping carts? What makes one landing page convert at 15% while another struggles at 2%? Which traffic sources bring you tire-kickers versus ready-to-buy customers?
Traditional analytics tools show you what happened. But conversion analysis reveals why it happened—and more importantly, what you can do about it.
Stop guessing and start knowing exactly where your conversion opportunities hide
Instantly identify exactly where visitors drop off in your conversion funnel. See which pages, forms, or checkout steps are bleeding potential customers.
Compare conversion rates across Google Ads, social media, email campaigns, and organic search. Discover which channels deliver quality traffic versus just volume.
Uncover visitor behavior patterns that predict conversions. Track time on site, page sequences, and engagement signals that separate buyers from browsers.
Analyze conversion performance across mobile, desktop, and tablet users. Identify technical barriers that might prevent users from completing desired actions.
Spot seasonal patterns, day-of-week effects, and hourly conversion trends. Optimize your marketing spend and content publishing schedule for peak performance.
Monitor multiple conversion goals simultaneously—from newsletter signups to purchases. Build comprehensive dashboards that track your entire marketing funnel.

Regular web analytics tells you what happened (page views, sessions, bounce rate). Conversion analysis focuses specifically on understanding why visitors do or don't complete desired actions. It combines behavioral data with outcome tracking to identify specific opportunities for improvement.
At minimum, you'll need website analytics data (Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics) and conversion tracking. For deeper insights, combine this with advertising platform data (Google Ads, Facebook Ads), email marketing metrics, CRM data, and heat mapping tools. Sourcetable can integrate all these sources automatically.
Simple changes like button colors or headlines can show results within days. More complex optimizations like checkout flow improvements typically show results within 2-4 weeks. The key is having enough traffic volume to reach statistical significance—usually 100+ conversions per variation.
Conversion rates vary dramatically by industry, traffic source, and goal type. E-commerce sites average 2-3%, SaaS trials might see 10-15%, and lead generation forms often convert at 5-10%. Focus on improving your own baseline rather than comparing to industry averages.
Absolutely! Most businesses have multiple conversion goals—newsletter signups, product purchases, demo requests, etc. Sourcetable lets you track unlimited goals and analyze how they interact. You might discover that newsletter subscribers convert to paid customers at much higher rates.
Look beyond surface metrics like cost-per-click or impressions. Calculate the lifetime value of customers from each source, factor in conversion rates, and consider the quality of engagement. A traffic source with higher costs but better conversion rates and customer retention often delivers better ROI.
You can still do conversion analysis with smaller traffic volumes, but focus on qualitative insights alongside quantitative data. Use tools like session recordings, user surveys, and customer interviews to understand conversion barriers. Even 50-100 weekly visitors can provide valuable optimization insights.
For active campaigns, review key metrics weekly and do deep analysis monthly. Seasonal businesses might need more frequent monitoring during peak periods. Set up automated alerts for significant changes in conversion rates so you can respond quickly to issues or opportunities.
