Many companies view their website as a beautiful showcase, forgetting that the main goal of a website is to attract customers and improve business processes.
To understand if the site is working, its effectiveness must be measured.

Let’s break down the key metrics that truly show results.

1. Conversions

The main metric for any website is the number of applications and sales.
This includes:

filled forms
calls from the website
registrations
online purchases

Don’t look at traffic without conversions — it yields nothing.

2. Conversion by Channels

It’s important to understand where customers come from:

Google / SEO
advertising
social media
direct traffic

This way, you can optimize marketing and investments.

3. Time on Site and Page Depth

Longer time = interest in content
Many viewed pages = user is exploring your offerings
Short time = issues with UX/UI or irrelevant traffic

4. Bounce Rate

A high bounce rate indicates:

wrong audience
poor UX
slow loading

Understanding the reasons allows for quick problem resolution.

5. Lead Quality

Not only quantity but also lead quality is important:

how well the lead matches the target audience
how many convert into deals
how quickly feedback is received

6. Site Speed and Technical Metrics

Page load time
Responsiveness on mobile devices
Correct functionality of forms and buttons

Technical issues directly impact conversions and SEO.

7. SEO Metrics

Rankings for key queries
Organic traffic
Number of pages in the index

SEO helps attract target customers, so these metrics are crucial for long-term growth.
