2. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
The success of API integrations will be measured using the following key performance indicators (KPIs):
A. User Engagement Metrics
- Average Session Duration: Measure the time users spend on the platform before exiting.
- Pages Per Session: Track how many pages a user visits per session after API integration.
- Bounce Rate: Evaluate if users leave quickly after API-driven interactions (e.g., third-party logins, chatbot interactions, etc.).
- API Usage Rate: Percentage of users interacting with the new API-driven functionalities (e.g., social logins, payment processing, or customer support chat).
B. Conversion Metrics
- Lead Generation Rate: Track the percentage of visitors who submit forms or sign up for services after interacting with third-party APIs.
- Transaction Completion Rate: Monitor the success rate of purchases, ad submissions, or service bookings after API-enabled processes (e.g., payment gateway).
- Click-to-Conversion Ratio: Measure the percentage of users who click on an API-enabled feature (e.g., “Login with Google”) and complete the intended action.
- API-Driven Revenue Contribution: Identify how much revenue is generated from API-driven transactions.
C. Site Traffic Metrics
- Total Site Visits: Track any increase or decrease in site traffic post-integration.
- Referral Traffic from APIs: Measure how much traffic originates from API-driven sources (e.g., users coming from a third-party login or redirected from a partner API).
- New vs. Returning Visitors: Determine how API functionalities affect retention and new user acquisition.
