Have you ever checked your homepage conversion rate? Do you know what a good conversion rate is for a travel site is? Do you know what a conversion rate is?

If you answered no to any or all of those questions, that’s okay. We’re here to help.

If you answered yes to all of them, you can go ahead and take the quiz.

Your booking conversion rate is the number of people that make a booking divided by the number of people that landed on your site.

The average conversion rate for travel websites is 0.4%, and Airbnb’s is 10.2%!!

So how do you take your homepage from blah to I NEED TO BOOK NOW!?

There are certain elements of your homepage that make it easier for visitors to find the information they are looking for and guide themselves to make a booking, like a book now CTA.

While this test won’t find your conversion rate for you (you have to calculate that yourself), it is a good gut check to ensure you have all the elements you need.

So how good is your homepage? Take the test to find out.

If you scored above 95, you are a homepage master. Congrats!

If you scored above 80, you are on the right track and could improve your conversion rate with a couple of additional tweaks.
