Goals Overview in Zoho PageSense
Measure the actions that define success
In Zoho PageSense, a Goal represents a measurable visitor action that indicates success - such as clicking a button, navigating to a link, spending time on a page, or completing a form submission.
Goals help you evaluate experiments, understand user behavior, and optimize conversions with clarity.
Without goals, your experiments cannot determine a winning variation.
Why Goals Matter
Goals allow you to:
Define what counts as a conversion
Measure variation performance in A/B tests
Track engagement and user intent
Evaluate campaign effectiveness
Make data-backed optimization decisions
Every experiment in PageSense requires at least one goal to measure impact.
The 4 Types of Goals
1. Element Click Goal
Tracks clicks on specific elements such as buttons, CTAs, banners, or tabs.
Best when the conversion action is interaction-based. (Explore Element Click Now!)
