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.
