USE CASE

WHAT IS CONVERSION OPTIMIZATION?

Conversion optimization in physical retail means improving how many visitors complete a purchase — based on consistent measurement of footfall and outcomes across time and locations.

VERIFIED BASELINE

Measure footfall and outcomes consistently before making changes.

COMPARABLE METRICS

Standard definitions keep conversion comparable across stores and time.

CONTROLLED UPLIFT

Test changes and verify uplift with like-for-like comparisons.
Metric layer

WHAT IS MEASURED

A consistent metric model makes conversion comparable across stores, formats, and time periods.

FOOTFALL (ENTRANCES)

Verified counts of visitors entering the store.

TRANSACTIONS (POS)

Completed purchases from POS systems.

PHYSICAL CONVERSION RATE

Transactions ÷ footfall. Standardized across stores and time periods.

REVENUE PER VISITOR

Revenue ÷ footfall. Available when connected to POS systems.

VISIT DURATION

Average time spent in store. Indicates engagement and potential friction.

ZONE ENGAGEMENT

Movement patterns within store areas. Identifies high- and low-performing zones.

QUEUE IMPACT

Correlation between wait time and conversion loss.

LOCATION BENCHMARK INDEX

Normalized performance comparison across the portfolio.

WHY MEASURING CONVERSION IS DIFFICULT

Most teams don’t fail because they lack dashboards. They fail because the underlying data is not comparable across stores, systems, and time periods.

INCONSISTENT COUNTING METHODS

What goes wrong
Different sensors and placements create non-comparable data.
CountMatters
Standardized deployment methodology and validation.

MISALIGNED DATA SOURCES

What goes wrong
Footfall and POS timestamps often do not align.
CountMatters
Structured integration and reporting windows.

FALSE UPLIFT FROM UNCONTROLLED VARIABLES

What goes wrong
Weather, campaigns, and staffing changes distort results.
CountMatters
Baseline definition and like-for-like comparison periods.
