If you are offering any services then you must create a thankyou page. If you have a contact form on the webpage then after filling the form redirect user on thankyou page. This will help you in reducing the bounce rate..

Exit rates helps you determine which pages on your website needs attention.

High exit rate means the page is either designed as an "ending" page or it's missing instructions on how to proceed.

Bounce rate really depends on your website, if you are a blog then you can expect high bounce rates when people simply find what they are looking for in the post and leave.

What you can do is break down the posts into multiple pages and give people a reason to browse around to read different parts.

This also helps you collect information on which kind of posts your users prefer to read.

All the best!

Exit Rate is the percentage that were the last in the session.

Bounce Rate is the percentage that were the only one of the session.

Exit rate is the percentage of people who left your site from that page. Exits may have viewed more than one page in a session. That means they may not have landed on that page, but simply found their way to it through site navigation. Like bounce rates, high exit rates can often reveal problem areas on your site.

Bounce rate is the percentage of single page visits (or web sessions). It is the percentage of visits in which a person leaves your website from the landing page without browsing any further. Google analytics calculates and report the bounce rate of a web page and bounce rate of a website.

As a rule of thumb, a bounce rate in the range of 26 to 40 percent is excellent. 41 to 55 percent is roughly average. 56 to 70 percent is higher than average, but may not be cause for alarm depending on the website. Anything over 70 percent is disappointing for everything outside of blogs, news, events, etc.
