A macro-conversion is the primary, ultimate goal a business wants a website visitor to complete — such as making a purchase, submitting a qualified lead form, or signing a contract — representing the final, most valuable outcome in a conversion funnel.
Macro-conversions are typically what businesses use to calculate direct ROI and revenue attribution, since they represent genuine, measurable business value rather than intermediate engagement signals.
Focusing exclusively on macro-conversions without considering supporting micro-conversions can sometimes undervalue content that plays an important supporting role earlier in a longer, multi-touch customer journey.
