Average Session Duration measures the average amount of time users spend per session on your website. It is calculated by dividing the total time spent across all sessions by the total number of sessions. This metric helps you understand overall engagement and whether users are consuming your content in a meaningful way.

Average Time on Page is a web analytics metric that measures the average time all users spend on a single page, excluding exit pages and bounces. Exit pages are the last pages in a session; bounces are single-page sessions. Because the metric excludes these, it reflects only engaged, multi-page visits.

Conversions represent the total number of meaningful actions (conversion events) that users take on your website or application during a specific time period. These are meaningful interactions that align with your business objectives—such as purchases, sign-ups, or requests for consultation—and indicate that a visitor has moved from passive browsing to active engagement with your brand. Think of conversions as the digital equivalent of a customer walking into your physical store and taking a desired action—whether that's making a purchase, signing up for information, or requesting a consultation.

Cost per Activated Lead measures the costs involved in generating one activated lead. An activated lead is a potential customer who demonstrates intention to purchase your product.

Cost Per Inline Link Click is the average amount of money spent per click on links contained in advertisements. It is calculated by dividing the total amount of money spent on ads by the total number of clicks on links within the ads and is a variation of Cost Per Click (CPC).

Cost Per Inline Post Engagement is the average cost of each inline engagement with an advertisement on social media. It is calculated by dividing the total amount of money spent on ads by the total number of engagements with the ads and is a variation of Cost Per Click (CPC).

Customer Conversion Rate is the percentage of contacts in your database that become paying customers. It shows how well your sales and marketing effort turns interest into revenue. Sales leaders, marketers, and founders use it to judge lead quality, sales effectiveness, and whether the funnel needs attention. A rising rate suggests your contacts fit your product and your sales process works. A falling rate points to weaker lead sources or slower follow-up.

Email Bounce Rate is the percentage of sent emails that were not delivered to recipients. It is calculated by dividing the number of bounced emails by the total number of emails sent. Tracking this metric helps assess list health and delivery infrastructure. A high bounce rate can damage sender reputation and reduce campaign reach.

Email Contacts is an email marketing metric that counts the total number of email addresses in an email list. A large, high-quality list helps marketers build ongoing relationships and reach more potential customers.

Email Hard Bounces is the total count of emails permanently rejected by a recipient's mail server due to irreversible causes such as invalid addresses, closed accounts, or inactive domains.

Email Soft Bounces counts the number of emails that failed to reach recipients due to temporary issues such as full inboxes, oversized attachments, or server downtime.

Form Completions is the number of times visitors successfully submit a form on a website. The count shows how many people took a step you asked them to take, such as requesting support, asking for a quote, or joining a list. It helps you judge whether a page, campaign, or offer is producing real responses rather than just visits. It informs decisions about where to place forms, which fields to keep, and which channels deserve more budget.
