What is Revenue per Visitor (RPV)

Revenue per Visitor (RPV) is a key performance indicator (KPI) that measures the average amount of revenue generated for each visit to a website. It is calculated by dividing total revenue by the number of visitors during a specific period. RPV provides a composite view of both conversion rates (CVR) and average order value (AOV), offering a fuller picture of website performance beyond just sales volume or frequency. Regularly monitoring RPV helps businesses understand the value of each visitor, evaluate the effectiveness of marketing and sales strategies, and make informed decisions to optimize user experience, product offerings, and revenue generation efforts.
