What Is Unique Attendees to Leads?

This metric helps marketers and demand-generation teams understand the strength of their audience engagement and how well webinar-driven activity translates into actionable sales opportunities. It often appears alongside other behavioral indicators found in ON24’s analytics tools and supports broader digital engagement workflows highlighted on the webinar capabilities page.
