Copy is often judged by opinion: "I like it" or "it doesn't feel right". Measuring performance gives a much better answer.
Define the goal first
Every piece of copy has a job: to inform, engage, generate leads or sell. The right metrics depend on that job.
Useful metrics by type
Website copy
- Conversion rate on key pages.
- Scroll depth and time on page.
- Bounce rate from landing traffic.
Blog and content
- Organic traffic and rankings.
- Engagement and return visits.
- Newsletter sign-ups or leads generated.
Email copy
- Click-through and conversion rates.
- Replies and unsubscribes.
Ad copy
- Click-through rate and cost per click.
- Conversion rate and cost per acquisition.
Combine numbers with feedback
Sales teams, customer support and customer interviews reveal whether copy answers real questions and objections.
Test variations
A/B test headlines, calls to action and value propositions. Change one variable at a time and wait for meaningful results.
Review regularly
Schedule quarterly reviews of key pages. Update copy that underperforms or no longer reflects the offer.
