About this recipe
When to use it
Most first-time visitors don't buy on visit one. The question is whether they come back in week 1, week 4, or never - and whether that depends on how they found you. This tracks exactly that.
What it delivers
Tracks first-visit-to-purchase retention at W1/W4/W12 benchmarks, split by acquisition channel, showing which traffic sources convert slow-but-sure vs. fast-but-shallow.

- 01Track first visit to first orderCreate a Retention report called "Browse to Buy Retention". Anchor event: Session start (each user's first Session start) Return event: Placed order Cohort granularity: Weekly Time range: Last 12 weeks Breakdown: By Users.UTM source (top 6 sources) Compare: Previous period (prior 12 weeks of cohorts) Chart type: Retention curve plus cohort table with W1 / W2 / W4 / W8 / W12 columns Annotations: - Add benchmarks: W1 first-purchase rate of 5% is typical for considered-purchase DTC, 10%+ for impulse-buy. - Flag any source where W12 first-purchase rate is below 8% (browse-to-buy gap). - Highlight the source with the fastest first-purchase rate (steepest W1 conversion). - Highlight the source with the highest W12 conversion (best overall, even if slower). Surface which sources produce "fast converters" vs "slow converters." Taxonomy notes: - Session start and Placed order are canonical. Users.UTM source is canonical. - "first session" per-user is determined by the earliest Session start for that customer_id.
