1. ONSITE SEARCH PERFORMANCE
KPIs present
Revenue is the money your customers have paid you in the given time frame. You can see it divided by channels in this report.
Session is basically a visit. A unique visitor can have more visits. These visitors came only from organic sources.
Orders represent the number of orders that were place in a given period.
Average Order Value (AOV) is the average value of all of the orders made in the given time frame.
Conversion Rate is the percentage of the organic visitors who became customers vs. all of the visitors.
Session Value is the average amount of money a single session / visit means for your site. This is a calculated metric, so you won't actually receive money after every individual visit. It is derived from all of your revenue vs all of your sessions for a specific channel. Let's say you had 10 000 visitors in March and you generated 5000$ in March. This means that your average session value is going to be 50 Cents. But you won't receive 50 Cents after every single visit, rather 2000 visitors won't buy anything but the 2001st is going to spend 1000$ in your store.
Bounce Rate is the percentage of visitors landing at one of your sites and navigating away from the site to outside of your domain after viewing only the page they've landed at and made an onsite search.
