Micro-conversion

Micro-conversions represent the intermediate steps users take before reaching a macro-conversion, which is the main objective, such as a purchase. These actions can include subscribing to newsletters, downloading documents, or adding items to a shopping cart. Analyzing micro-conversions helps to understand the user journey and identify friction points or optimization opportunities.
Micro-conversions can be used as the main KPI in A/B testing, provided they correlate well with a macro-conversion aligned with the company's overall objectives. As they are often closer to the changes being tested, micro-conversions increase the probability of detecting a Minimum Detectable Effect (MDE) even with lower traffic. This makes them particularly useful for assessing the impact of changes in contexts where macro-conversions are less frequent.
