Rank Quora Acquisition Channels

Rank Quora Acquisition Channels

MediumSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

Quora’s growth team wants to compare acquisition quality across channels by looking at signup-to-conversion performance. Write a SQL query to find the top-performing acquisition channels by conversion rate.

Requirements

  1. Use quora_users as the base table of acquired users.
  2. Treat a user as converted if they have at least one row in user_conversions with conversion_type = 'activated' and a non-null conversion_date.
  3. For each acquisition channel, return:
    • acquisition_channel
    • total acquired users
    • converted users
    • conversion rate as converted_users / total_users, rounded to 4 decimals
  4. Exclude channels with fewer than 2 acquired users.
  5. Return channels ranked from highest to lowest conversion rate. Break ties by higher converted user count, then alphabetically by channel name.
