CVR

Conversion Rate

CVR is the share of clicks that become orders. It is a listing problem before it is an ads problem - ads buy the click, the listing closes it.

FormulaCVR = Orders / Clicks × 100
Example100 clicks on your ad produce 12 orders - a 12% CVR.

CVR is where ad spend either becomes revenue or evaporates. Every click you paid for lands on the detail page, and the detail page - image stack, bullets, A+ content, reviews, price - decides what happens next. Ads buy the click. The listing closes it.

This is why throwing more spend at a low-CVR ASIN is the most expensive mistake in Amazon advertising: you are scaling the cost of a leak. Fix conversion first, then scale traffic into a listing that converts it.
