If the bounce rate is high, it is usually a negative indicator of our website.
Although it really isn’t always like that.
Stay and find out more about this metric. ?
Exactly, the bounce rate is the percentage of visits that have entered a page, remained there without interacted, and left.
What we were telling you, a priori may seem like a very negative indicator that this percentage is very high.
But it will depend on the URL, page type, and other metrics such as average session time.
For example, the URL of a blog post:
They may have come to this article since the social media broadcast, so they will have entered the article directly. If you’ve been reading the article for 2 minutes and then quit, it’ll be normal.
It was just an informative page. True, if they later interact more with the web, the better. But it’s not that negative.
However, the URL of the catalog site or product cards, or the Home, for example, that they do have a high bounce rate would already be more negative.
Such pages are supposed to require more interaction and would not be an acceptable bounce rate.
Therefore, steps should be taken to improve these numbers.
In short, if this percentage is high it is a red alert that your website has problems and needs improvements.
If your bounce rate is always very high: users come in and out of your website without caring about anything.
That can negatively harm (even if interpreting it isn’t as harmful to your business) to your website.
How? It can affect your positioning. Google may interpret that if your website has this high metric, it may be because your website is of poor quality. And then penalize you by lowering the web in the search ranking.
So, directly or indirectly, decreasing the bounce rate can also help you improve the conversion rate.
Therefore, a low bounce rate means better traffic quality, better positioning, and more conversions.
