SaaS Landing Pages - what's everyone converting at?

SaaS Landing Pages - what's everyone converting at?

What have you done to optimize it?

on February 3, 2019

    According to my own analytics (https://plausible.io/plausible.io?period=30days) I have had 433 visitors and according to my database 15 completed onboardings for the free beta.

    That's a 3.4% conversion rate for a free service.

    Is that OK? I have no reference, to be honest.

    I haven't done anything to optimize as I've just started sharing the project. I'm planning to add more content pages and testimonials.

      For a free service, you should convert at 15%. Don't forget that the top of the funnel should be very targeted to even begin with conversion data analysis.

      My own site converts nowhere near that well. So be happy.
      But from previous ecommerce sites I ran, above 3% was good. 5% was great.

        Ecommerce is right away visitor to paid. A visitor to free should be at 10% at least...

    I've recently released survais.com as a complete rewrite so thing is something I cannot answer right now.

    I do plan to run some tests though in the near future and should definitely create a 'case study' per ce.

    I am a big fan of Pirate metrics and tracking them here if you want to take a look. Just started a few weeks ago.

    Conversion rate for purchases or signups/trials?

    At https://www.logoshi.com our landing pages produce a very high conversion rate (~50%) for trying the service and getting a free sample download, but our purchase conversion rate hovers around a measly 1%.

    We use Google Optimize to A/B test landing pages to measure bounce rate and conversions.

    For one of my projects, out of the last 1k unique visitors I converted to a free registration @ 14% and that's been holding fairly solid now.

    I think comparing conversion rates is worthless. We target different people, have different types of products, have different LTVs. What matters is to compare your conversion rate with your past conversion rates.

      I mostly agree :) trends are great to understand if you are headed the right direction.

      When you are trying to determine pass/fail for an experiment or validate an idea it is nice to have something to compare to.

      Since I often do not have something to compare to, I work my target backwards from a goal.
