What is Conversion Rate per Campaign?

This metric quantifies how successfully a campaign turns engagement into action. It applies to any stage of the funnel—from visitor-to-lead, lead-to-MQL, or MQL-to-customer—depending on your campaign goals.

It answers: “Out of all the people who saw or interacted with this campaign, how many took the next step we care about?”

Formula

Conversion Rate (%) = (Number of Conversions ÷ Total Campaign Engagements) × 100

Examples:

• A landing page for a free trial that had 1,000 visits and 50 signups = 5% conversion rate
• An email campaign sent to 2,000 contacts that drove 40 demo bookings = 2% conversion rate

How to Measure Conversion Rate per Campaign

1. Define the Conversion Event – Signup, trial, demo request, content download, etc.
2. Track Campaign Engagements – Email clicks, ad impressions, landing page views
3. Connect Conversions to Campaign – Use UTMs, tags, and tracking pixels
4. Segment by Audience and Channel – Understand performance across buyer personas and touchpoints
5. Use Funnel Stage Context – Mid- and bottom-funnel campaigns should have higher conversion benchmarks
