About popup form performance
Popup form analytics give you visibility into how site visitors are engaging with your form. With this information, you’ll be able to track performance over time and understand visitor behavior. Use these insights to make confident, data-informed decisions that improve your targeting, design, and messaging.
After you publish a popup form, consider a strategy to review its performance. We recommend you review your content:
- Weekly
For the first few weeks after you publish a new form. - Monthly
After your popup is stable and consistently live. - After Any Change
Anytime you tweak copy, design, or targeting to monitor the impact.

How to use your data
Whenever you view your popup forms data, keep in mind the goals you have for the form. Consider these scenarios:
If Impressions are Low:
- Confirm the popup is installed correctly. Did you recently disconnect your site?
- Loosen your targeting. For example, show the form on more pages or set a faster trigger time.
- Review your site traffic volume to set realistic expectations.
If Opt-Ins are Low:
- Audit your CTA and offer—is it compelling?
- Reduce friction
- Make sure it’s mobile-friendly and visually clean
- Launch an A/B test to help you modify copy choices or design elements.
If SMS Opt-Ins are Low:
- If the list is double opt-in, does your confirmation step remind them of keyword Reply Y to finish opting in?
- Launch an A/B test to include a decline bypass option for SMS capture to focus on email only captures
