What is a Social Media Conversion Rate?

The social media conversion rate is a percentage that shows how many people clicked on a link in your social media post (or ad) and then completed a specific desired action. This action could be making a purchase, signing up for a newsletter, downloading an eBook, or filling out a lead form.

The Conversion Rate Formula

To calculate the conversion rate manually, use the following formula:

Conversion Rate = (Total Conversions / Total Clicks) x 100

Realistic Example

If you ran a Facebook ad campaign that generated 1,200 clicks and resulted in 48 sales:

  • (48 / 1,200) = 0.04
  • 0.04 x 100 = 4% Conversion Rate

What is a Good Conversion Rate?

Average social media conversion rates typically range between 2% and 5%. However, this varies significantly by industry:

Industry Average Rate
E-commerce 1.8% – 3.0%
B2B / SaaS 3.0% – 7.0%
Education 10% – 13%
