Viral Loop Conversion Rate

The percentage of people exposed to a viral loop touchpoint, like a shared document, who go on to sign up.

Formula

New signups from viral touchpoint / Total exposures to touchpoint x 100

How to measure

Tag every viral touchpoint, such as a shared link view, and divide resulting signups by total exposures to that touchpoint.

Why track it

This metric shows whether the viral mechanic itself, not just its reach, is effective at turning exposure into new users.

Example

A shared-document viewer page converts 8% of non-user viewers into signups after adding a clearer call-to-action banner.
