What is a good conversion rate?
It depends on what your landing page is trying to do. Some industries, like e-commerce, are focused on making direct sales, which can be harder.
Others, like education, aim to collect email addresses, which is easier to convert.
But it’s not just about your industry - where your traffic comes from makes a big difference, too.
