They need to list the non-branded and branded conversion rates. A lot of these companies are well known brands…and if people search for ProFlowers, go to the site, they have a very high chance of converting. But the people looking for “flowers” for example, I would wager some cash on those conversion rates being no where near what is listed.

So take these percentages with a grain of salt…because they are not actually telling the conversion rates of the different terms, the percentages can be wildly different.

Its also highly dependant on the total yield of unbranded vs branded search…
