How to use the Benchmark Explorer

With the Benchmark Explorer, you can search and find hundreds of Marketing, Sales, and Revenue benchmarks in seconds. You can even save the metrics you want to track in a Benchmark Report, and send it to yourself or your team every month.

Pro Tip: You can view hundreds of benchmarks without signing up.

Here are some examples of the types of questions that the Benchmark Explorer can help answer:

We close 32 deals/month. Is that good?
We get 2.3k sessions/month. What do other SaaS companies get?
Our Cost Per Click is $8.30. Is that high?

Benchmarks can help answer questions like these so you can see where you're ahead of the curve and where there's room for improvement.
