| Organic Search | 18,000 | 5,400 | 30% |
| Paid Social | 15,000 | 3,750 | 25% |
| Direct | 12,000 | 3,000 | 25% |
How It Works
PV to VC Rate divides View Contents (product detail page views) by total Page Views and multiplies by 100. A higher rate indicates visitors are successfully finding and exploring products. A lower rate may suggest navigation issues or misaligned traffic.
