Analytics and results

Engagement rate

Also known as: engagement rate

The share of sessions meeting engagement criteria defined by tool rules and configuration.

A practical example

A user spends the required time or completes an important action.

What should I know?

Reported engagement does not yet mean a purchase or satisfaction.

Analytics and results in practice

Before comparing numbers, check definitions, periods, sources, and denominators. Separate observation from proof of an action's impact. A metric should support business decisions, not just look good in a report.
