Action Completion Rate (ACR)
Action Completion Rate, or ACR, measures how many of the intent actions people start or qualify for actually get completed.
Divide completed intent actions by eligible ones. That is ACR: when people try to act, does your experience let them finish? Care about it because this is where conversions quietly leak: abandoned forms, dropped checkouts, no-show demos. People wanted to act and something got in the way.

ACR sits in the Act phase. It judges your experience, not your audience: people wanted to act and something stopped them. Fix what it flags and everything downstream improves for free.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Action Completion Rate?
Action Completion Rate, or ACR, measures how many of the intent actions people start or qualify for actually get completed. Read it whenever completed actions lag behind the intent your traffic is showing.
How do you calculate Action Completion Rate?
Use the formula: ACR = Completed intent actions ÷ Eligible intent actions. Keep both inputs in the same reporting period and avoid mixing users, sessions, events, or customers unless the formula calls for it.
What data do you need for ACR?
You need eligible intent actions and completed intent actions, pulled from the relevant connected sources and computed for the same period.
What mistakes should you avoid with ACR?
The big ones: mixing action types in one rate, blaming the audience for what is an experience problem, and celebrating started actions while completions quietly fall.
When should marketers use ACR?
Use ACR when intent looks healthy but conversions disappoint. It tells you whether to fix the experience, the form, or the step where people give up, before touching targeting or spend.
What is a good ACR?
There is no universal good ACR. Judge it per action type against your own baseline: a checkout should complete far more often than a demo booking, so compare like with like and watch the trend.
