What improving your site conversion is worth

Find out how many leads, sales and dollars you leave on the table each month — and what a single percentage point of conversion is worth.

The way it is today, and the way it could be

Fill in your own site numbers. No hidden benchmark: everything is editable.

Sessions or users for the period, as your analytics reports it.

Out of every 100 visits, how many become a contact today.

The level you want to reach. Going from 1.5% to 2% is a gain of 0.5 percentage points.

Out of every 100 leads, how many sales close.

Revenue from one closed sale.

Optional — to see the result, not just revenue

With contribution margin filled in, the tool also shows how much of the gain actually remains.

How the maths works

👤

Visits become leads

Monthly visits times the page conversion rate. Twice: at today's level and at the target one.

💲

Leads become revenue

Leads times the sales close rate, and the result times average revenue per sale. That is where conversion turns into money.

🔢

A percentage point is not a percentage

Going from 2% to 3% is a gain of 1 percentage point — and 50% more in relative terms. The tool works in percentage points so the two never get mixed up.

🚩

Low volume changes the conclusion

One percentage point equals 1% of your visits. With little traffic that is few leads — and the tool says so instead of selling optimism.

The formula, exactly as it is in the code

leads today       = visits × current conversion
sales today       = leads today × lead→sale conv.
revenue today     = sales today × ticket
leads scenario    = visits × target conversion
sales scenario    = leads scenario × lead→sale conv.
revenue scenario  = sales scenario × ticket
gain/month        = revenue scenario − revenue today
gain/year         = gain/month × 12
value of +1 pp    = (visits × 1%) × lead→sale conv. × ticket × 12
extra margin      = gain/year × contribution margin

A percentage point (pp) is 1% of visits in absolute terms, not 1% more conversion. The maths assumes the extra converted visitor closes at the same rate as today's — in practice, conversion gains done badly bring worse leads.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a percentage point and a percentage?

Going from 2% to 3% conversion is a gain of 1 percentage point. In relative terms it is a 50% increase. Mixing the two turns a target into an impossible promise — which is why this tool always speaks in percentage points.

What conversion rate should I aim for?

There is no right number: it depends on sector, ticket and traffic type. A $80 e-commerce order and a $200k B2B project cannot be compared. Use your current number as the baseline and simulate plausible gains, not market ideals.

Is improving conversion always better than buying more traffic?

No. One percentage point equals 1% of your visits — with 500 visits a month, that is 5 leads. If volume is low, the multiplier is probably in acquisition. The tool warns you when that is the case.

Why does the tool ask for the close rate?

Because the page converts a visit into a lead, not into a sale. Without the close rate the gain would show up as contacts rather than revenue — and contacts do not pay bills.

Do you store what I type?

No. The maths runs in your browser and nothing is sent to us. The address keeps the assumptions only so you can share the simulation.
