Europe's leading online performance optimisation and analytics consultancy


Benchmark Service

The Logan Tod & Co Benchmark Service is the primary source of online performance data for the UK Retail sector and, for the very first time, allows businesses to evaluate and
compare their key website metrics against industry verticals and UK retail peers, using critical metrics and KPI’s.

The benefits of benchmarking ecommerce performance

Benchmarking allows members to gain a broader context for their site’s ecommerce performance and enables them to identify additional opportunities to improve on-site metrics. Targets can be set, and specific best practices established, based upon factual information from their ecommerce activity.

The Logan Tod & Co Benchmark Service will provide answers to frequently asked questions by senior management, for example:
• What represents a poor bounce rate?
• What constitutes a good conversion rate?
• Are competitors’ conversion rates rising or just ours?
• What improvement opportunities should we be focusing on?

Whether setting targets or convincing senior decision makers that the right actions are taking place, a neutral benchmarking service provides essential input into the decision making process.

What does the service provide?

It is the only service that provides an insight into your site centric performance versus your peers, even if they are using a different web analytics platform to you. The report is split into seven categories:
