Micro-conversions are small, incremental actions that users take on a website, indicating engagement and interest.
Description
Micro-conversions are specific, smaller interactions that users engage in on a website or app, such as signing up for a newsletter, downloading a resource, or adding a product to a shopping cart. They play a crucial role in the conversion funnel by providing insights into user behavior and engagement, ultimately leading to larger conversions like purchases.

- Set up tracking for these actions using tools like Google Analytics.
- Analyze the data to understand user behavior and refine your marketing strategies.
- Create targeted campaigns to encourage these micro-conversions, such as special offers for newsletter sign-ups.
Best Practices

- Use A/B testing to optimize the elements that drive micro-conversions.
- Monitor and analyze the performance of micro-conversions regularly to adjust strategies.
- Ensure that the user experience is seamless to encourage more micro-conversions.
