Case-study asset benchmarks matter for B2B, agencies, and premium services where proof and credibility can materially improve conversion quality in the middle and bottom of the funnel. Engaged read rate, CTA click rate, assisted lead rate, and opportunity influence.
Use these labeled KPIs together instead of judging case study performance from one headline number. Conversion-sensitive metrics update when you change the conversion type above.

|---|---|---|---|
| CTR | 2.4% | 4.1% | Creative and message-to-audience fit |

| CVR | 3.4% | 6.2% | Landing-page and offer effectiveness |
| CPA | $82 | $45 | Cost to generate the selected conversion |

| ROAS | 3.1x | 5.2x | Revenue efficiency where purchase value is tracked |
Engaged read rate, CTA click rate, assisted lead rate, and opportunity influence. Benchmarks should be interpreted with contextual commentary, not as standalone averages.
