SayPro Information and SEO Targets for the Quarter Bounce Rate Goal: Under 40% from SayPro Monthly February SCMR-17 SayPro Quarterly Responsive Design by SayPro Online Marketplace Office under SayPro Marketing Royalty SCMR
Objective Overview
As defined in the SayPro Monthly SCMR-17 (February Edition) and driven forward under the SayPro Quarterly Responsive Design initiative, the SayPro Online Marketplace Office—under the umbrella of SayPro Marketing Royalty SCMR—has set a strategic quarterly performance goal to reduce the average website bounce rate to under 40%.
This metric is critical to SayPro’s organic SEO performance and marketplace engagement because a high bounce rate often indicates poor user experience, misaligned content relevance, or slow-loading mobile design—issues that directly impact SEO rankings, conversions, and retention.

|---|---|---|
| Average Bounce Rate | 54.2% | < 40% |

| Monitoring Tool | Google Analytics 4 + SayPro Monthly Analytics Template |
🔍 Understanding Bounce Rate and Its Impact on SayPro’s SEO Strategy
Bounce Rate is defined as the percentage of single-page sessions where users leave the website without interacting further. A high bounce rate suggests the landing page did not meet user expectations, which affects:
- SEO rankings (Google considers engagement metrics)
- Conversion rates (users who leave don’t buy or sign up)
- Quality Score for Ads (especially in Google Ads campaigns)
- SayPro seller visibility in the online marketplace algorithm
