Overview
Back for another year and opening the door to all-new insights.
How do your conversion rates stack up?
Almost every industry we analyzed saw a higher median conversion rate than last year—but the gap between the top and bottom performers is growing. See if your landing pages have a spot on the podium.
What resonates with your audience?
There were big increases in emotional language on landing pages last year, especially for negative feelings like disgust. Find out whether the sentiments on your page are winning visitors over (or scaring them away).
Where are your best visitors coming from?
New for this report, we’ll show you which traffic channels are sending the highest-converting visitors to your page—so you can be sure that you’re spending your ad budget in the right place.
About This Report
The marketing report that proves optimizing doesn’t need to be hard.
Or time-consuming, or expensive.
Marketers know the competition for clicks has never been more intense, even after what’s been a, mmm, not-super-normal year. But the most successful businesses in your industry aren’t sitting on their hands. They’re actively looking for new ways to leverage data and refine their campaigns to bring in more sales and signups—the same ones you’re after.
Unbounce’s Conversion Benchmark Report helps you turn the tables. We used artificial intelligence to help analyze more than 44 thousand landing pages and over 33 million conversions, refining a (near-literal) mountain of data into actionable recommendations that make optimization waaay simpler. That means time, money, and expertise aren’t obstacles to creating your highest-converting pages ever.
Pairing can’t-miss, machine-generated insights with your marketing know-how? That’s the not-so-secret sauce for maximizing conversions.

Conversion Benchmarks
With more specific insights and observations than ever before.
New this year, we also look at the median rates of click-through and form-fill landing pages specifically (so you know precisely how your page stacks up).
Running a sales campaign and sending people through to your online store? Trying to register visitors for a trial or consultation? Use these goal-specific benchmarks to gauge your landing page performance.
Landing page optimization is critical, but it’s over-complicated. Companies will often replace a page without first understanding what was working on the original. Data insights like these help marketers improve their pages at a fundamental level, rather than focusing just on the aesthetics.

COVID-19 Pandemic
Yep—we’ve got data findings from the pandemic, too.
We didn’t want this to become a “COVID-19 impact report.” That’s partly because insights around the pandemic aren’t especially actionable for marketers today, and partly because… well, we’re all just really tired of talking about it.
Of course, we can’t avoid it entirely—but we can quarantine it (so to speak). Take a look at our COVID-specific traffic insights.
CONVERSION OPTIMIZATION
Start optimizing your landing pages with data-driven insights.
Create high-performing campaigns by augmenting your marketing expertise with data-powered insights that’d be really tough to get on your own. (Heck, we needed to use AI to do it.) The Conversion Benchmark Report simplifies all that data complexity and just tells you what you need to know: How to optimize your landing pages and get more conversions.
Learn all about your industry-specific insights.
Read what’s helping marketers in your industry (or one like yours) convert more visitors on their landing pages. Say you’re in SaaS: We found that words evoking anticipation and joy tend to increase your conversion rates.
Build new pages using what you’ve discovered.
Use Smart Builder to tap into insights from this report and create a new landing page (or variant) with AI power. In the SaaS example, you could easily create a page variant that has more positive, value-focused language.
Optimize your results and keep on iterating.
Run an A/B test to validate the impact of your changes or—better yet—use Smart Traffic. With Smart Traffic, you can keep both versions of your SaaS page and automatically send visitors to the one that’s best for them.
