3. Leverage Gained Ad Data Insight to Analyse Micro-Conversions

Consumers usually don’t click an ad, read the content on the landing page and make the purchase. Most times they go through micro-conversions like simply giving you their email.

Here’s how it works. When a prospect finds out about your business while digging up some information, they will visit your e-commerce website say via your e-commerce blog a bunch of times, to build a relationship with your company. Once they trust your business as a value-added channel, the prospect may consider purchasing from you. That’s the whole idea behind the conversion funnel.

Since your customers are on a journey through your website before purchase, it only makes sense to analyse the steps between the journey. This is what micro-conversions are concerned with. It’s all about measuring one or more of the activities of your customer base done before conversion. Here are some of these activities:

Account creation
PDF download
Going to multiple pages in one session
Adding products to the cart
Email sign ups

It’s important to state the micro-conversions don’t necessarily have to end up as macro-conversions (sales). You can use them as supportive aid to your main goal and have a good idea of how well you are treating your visitors.

That said, you can also use the insights provided by your ad data to understand the behaviors behind micro-conversions and when they’d convert. For example, Matthew Woodward analysed micro-conversions and discovered that an email subscriber is worth $17.81 in 3 months.
