A wedding planner searches for “catering for wedding,” clicks your site, views your menu options, then leaves without requesting a quote. That exit could have been a major booking. Exit rate tracking tells you exactly which pages lose leads so you can fix them.
Why Exit Rate Matters for Catering
Catering inquiries are high-value. Each event can mean thousands in revenue. Losing a visitor at the wrong page costs dearly.
Key reasons to track exit rate:
- Menu presentation. Clients want to see options and pricing clearly.
- Quote request complexity. If the form is too long, they move on.
- Portfolio gaps. Event photos help clients envision your service.
- Trust signals. Licenses, insurance, and reviews matter for large events.
How to Check in GA4
- Open GA4 and go to User journey > Exit paths.
- Select Page path and screen class as dimension.
- Look for pages with exit rates above 40%.
- Focus on menu, portfolio, and contact pages.
For direct analysis:
- Reports > Engagement > Pages and screens.
- Sort by Exit rate descending.
- Identify top-exit pages.
