What is a good conversion rate for Google Ads?

This really depends on what you are tracking as a conversion, but I’ll assume you’re asking about leads or transactions. (It depends on how “early” the conversion is. You will get a higher conversion rate if you measure an earlier interaction like an add-to-cart instead of a purchase).

According to Wordstream, the average landing page conversion rate across all industries is 2.35% and the top 25% landing pages are converting at 5.31% or higher. The same study suggested that only 10% of landing pages have average conversion rates of 11.45% or more.

To be honest though, I don’t find any of this aggregate data to be terribly helpful when it comes to measuring any particular website’s conversion rate, or Google Ads conversion rate, because the “average” results may not be at all relevant in your case.

Instead, look at the distribution of conversion rates across all of your own landing pages, even if you’re not currently promoting them through Google. Then continually try to make your conversion rate through Google Ads better than your own average, by seeking out more relevant keywords, demographics and audiences.

Our main purpose for generating these reports is about findings out information that will curb our strategy. The Audience Engagement Report provided us with new findings about our audience. We implemented new marketing elements based on those findings and they have increased sales.

Hi Petra, Hope you are well, I checked out the Google Analytics and all I can say is AWESOME. You have essentially doubled her revenue in a month and the Google Ads seem to be popping off!

Petra's detailed reports and her personal assistance has been helping us to know where to concentrate our efforts and even showed us technical issues we needed to fix. Our Audience Engagement Report identified several key interests of our buying audience. We tried targeting one of those interests and it brought in two sales almost immediately! I highly recommend working with Petra and accessing her brilliance to scale your business.

Your attention to detail is beyond what I had expected. The detail of the data is incredible. The best part though was to learn the profile demographic - which is very different to whom I think I've been trying to target through social.
