It helps you determine the quality of the visitor, and tells you if your visitors are exploring and going through your pages. Of course, the more time spent on the website, the higher the chances are of leading the visitors into your sales funnel.

It is very likely that when these numbers are high, it means that people are actually interested in reading your content and your call-to-actions are working. It also tells you that your visitors are ‘engaged’ and they are finding what they need on your website so they will keep coming back for more in the future.
