Metric definition
Percentage of sessions where a user clicked a specific zone and returned for another session.
About the multi-session return rate window
A retention window is determined by the start date applied in the analysis context, until the present day.
Example
You set the date range in a Zoning to May 1st - May 7th. The retention metric will look at users who re-visited your site (after clicking on the zone) from May 1st to the present day.
Good to know (for customers with full Product Analytics)
You may notice that the further back in time you set your analysis context, the higher the retention rate is. This is because there is a longer time window between when the user clicked the zone and when they returned to your site.
How to interpret it
Discover which content drives users to re-visit your site in a new session. High retention rate indicates that users found the content valuable, which can help you determine which content to prioritize, and answer questions such as:
- This piece of content is really sought after, but is not driving much conversion. Does it bring users back, meaning they are on a browsing journey?
