[Update 2023] B2B SaaS Funnel Conversion Benchmarks

In this report, we provide benchmarks for marketing performance along each step of the B2B SaaS funnel conversion funnel. We will begin with definitions and average conversion rates for each step and proceed to break down conversion rate benchmarks by marketing channel, industry, and target audience company size.

Our data set comes from access to 50+ B2B SaaS clients over the last decade, mostly small-to-midsize businesses in the $10M-$100M revenue range. It includes a good amount of exposure to the middle market as well as a smaller, but still substantive, pool of data from enterprise clients.

1. B2B SaaS Funnel Benchmarks: Definitions

We use a six-step funnel that should be familiar to anyone in marketing at a B2B SaaS company. It consists of:

1. Website visitor
2. Lead
3. MQL
4. SQL
5. Opportunity
6. Closed
7. B2B saas sales funnel
8. B2B saas marketing funnel

A lead is any non-spam website visitor who has submitted contact information. An MQL is a lead who fits the company’s target market or one of its customer personas. An SQL is an MQL who has indicated that the product is desirable, within their budget, and is speaking with a salesperson. An opportunity is an MQL with contract in hand.

2. B2B SaaS Funnel Conversion Benchmarks by Channel

In this section, you’ll find conversion rate benchmarks for each step in the funnel, further broken down by the five most common B2B marketing channels for which we have data.

When using these benchmarks for your marketing activities, bear in mind that there is an assumption of a high level of competence from the team or agency conducting the activity. For example, in SEO that means having a thought leadership-based strategy; in PPC, it means consistent testing of landing pages to achieve a high-quality score; and in email marketing, it means using a well-targeted list.

4. B2B SaaS Funnel Conversion Benchmarks by Target Audience Company Size

Our final set of conversion rate benchmarks is broken down by the size of the companies being targeted by marketing and sales. There are several commonly used categories for company size—we chose a simplified scale based on revenue (<$10M, $10M-$100M, $100M-$1B, and >$1B).
