Conversions

The Conversions report tells you which goals visitors complete and what they're worth, with a top-right toggle between Conversions (primary goals like purchases and signups, showing count, revenue, and average value) and Microconversions (engagement events like add-to-cart, shown by count). Use it to see your top-performing conversion types and total revenue for the selected period.

Table Filter Builder

  • Conversion Type
  • Conversions (count)
  • Revenue
  • Avg. Value

Microconversions view fields:

  • Event Type
  • Count

Example filters:

GoalFilter
High-value conversionsRevenue greater than 1000
Frequent eventsCount greater than 100
Low-value typesAvg. Value less than 10
Specific conversionConversion Type equals "purchase"

Global Filter Integration

Conversions report respects global filters:

  1. Global filter: Country = Spain
  2. See only conversions from Spanish visitors
  3. Compare conversion rates by country

Tracking Conversions

JavaScript API

Track conversions using the tracker:

// Basic conversion
sealmetrics.conv('purchase');

// Conversion with revenue
sealmetrics.conv('purchase', 99.99);

// Conversion with properties
sealmetrics.conv('purchase', 149.99, {
product_id: 'SKU-123',
category: 'Electronics'
});

Microconversions

Track engagement events:

// Basic microconversion
sealmetrics.micro('add_to_cart');

// Microconversion with properties
sealmetrics.micro('video_play', {
video_id: 'intro-video',
duration: 120
});

See Tracker Documentation for complete implementation guide.

Per-Product Analysis

For detailed product-level analytics from your e-commerce conversions, use the Properties report:

  3. Browse product fields (product_name, category, brand, sku, etc.)
  4. Select a field to see its values broken down by traffic source, medium, and campaign

This report shows individual product data from the items array sent with your purchase conversions. See Conversions Tracking for implementation details.

  • Source/medium of that session gets credit
  • Simple and transparent model

Multi-Session Users

For users who convert after multiple sessions:

  • Each session tracked independently
  • Conversion credited to the converting session

Best Practices

GoodAvoid
purchaseconv1

request_demoform
add_to_cartcart

Revenue Values

  • Use consistent currency
  • Include only the transaction amount
  • Don't include tax/shipping unless relevant
