: Whats a typical exit rate? I am currently looking at our on-site analytics, focusing mainly on exit rates to try and work out where we can do better in terms of targeting, pricing, range etc.
I am currently looking at our on-site analytics, focusing mainly on exit rates to try and work out where we can do better in terms of targeting, pricing, range etc.
However I am still trying to get my head around what a 'reasonable' exit rate would be? Especially since the industry we are in is quite broad in terms of people not knowing what they're looking for, hence the need for pages to target multiple phrases.
My idea would be something like 20%, however this could be way too low or even too high from my experience. Of course, this does depend on the industry/type of website so im not expecting an exact number.
We are an ecommerce store style of website.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I think you might be thinking of Bounce Rate rather than Exit Rate. Bounce Rate, which has specific industry benchmarks, is where a user lands on a page and exits the website without going to any other pages. This is not difficult for researchers to quantify, since they can gather data for any number of e-commerce websites and find the average. In my experience, anything from 10% (which would be a great scenario actually) to 35% (more common) is normal, so your guess falls right in the middle of that.
On the other hand, Exit Rate is relevant specifically to your website. If a page has a high Exit Rate, a large number of users might have seen any number of pages on your site, then got to that page and left. This is very common for pages in the buy flow. (These buy flow pages should have a Bounce Rate close to zero, since they should be noindexed.) But since Exit Rate is so page-specific, it's much harder to put a number on it.
