Conversion Level
TL;DR — Conversion level refers to how deep in the customer journey the qualifying action sits — from a lightweight action like a sign-up, to a higher-commitment action like a completed purchase. Different offers require different conversion levels, which directly affect how likely a click is to result in a commission. On Involve Asia, the conversion level is tied to the commission model — CPS requires a completed sale, CPL a qualified lead, and CPA a specified action — each sitting at a different depth in the funnel.
What Is Conversion Level?
Conversion level describes the depth of the action a user must complete for a publisher to earn commission. A shallow conversion level means the qualifying action is relatively easy to achieve — a form fill, a free sign-up, or an app install. A deeper conversion level requires more commitment from the user — a completed purchase, a subscription payment, or a verified loan application.
Conversion level affects two things: conversion rate and commission value. Shallow conversions happen more frequently because users face less friction. Deeper conversions happen less often, but they usually carry a higher commission because the advertiser receives more value from each one.
Publishers choosing between offers should weigh conversion level against their audience’s intent. A high-intent audience ready to buy suits a deeper CPS offer. A broader, awareness-stage audience may convert better on a lower-commitment CPL or CPA offer.
Conversion Level on Involve Asia
On Involve Asia, the conversion level is defined by each offer’s commission model. CPS (cost per sale) sits at the deepest level — the user must complete a purchase. CPL (cost per lead) sits at a mid-level — the user must submit a qualified lead, such as a form fill or account sign-up. CPA (cost per action) can sit at various levels depending on what specific action the advertiser defines.
Publishers can see the commission model and conversion level required on each offer’s page in the Advertiser Directory. Matching the offer’s conversion level to the publisher’s audience intent is one of the most reliable ways to improve conversion rates and commission earnings.
