The Vanity Metrics Trap

Pageviews, sessions, and follower counts are easy to track—but they don't tell you if your website is actually helping your business.

High-performing businesses track metrics that directly correlate with revenue. Here's what actually matters:

Conversion Rate

Percentage of visitors who take your desired action—signing up, purchasing, or contacting you.

Customer Acquisition Cost

How much you spend to acquire each customer. Lower is better, but it must be sustainable.

Lifetime Value (LTV)

Total revenue a customer generates over their relationship with you. Aim for 3:1 LTV:CAC ratio.

Traffic Sources

Where your visitors come from. Focus on channels with highest conversion rates, not just volume.
