What is a website funnel?
A funnel is the sequence of pages and actions a visitor follows to complete a goal. The goal might be a purchase, a pre-sales consultation, a newsletter subscription or a white-paper download.
Choose a small number of meaningful goals
Start with outcomes that matter to the business. Too many competing goals make it difficult to understand which journeys are important and how well the website supports them.
Consider this requirement as part of the overall plan and validate it against the intended audience and business goal.

Map each path and its calls to action
For every goal, identify the pages and links a visitor must use. Each stage should make the next step clear. Check that the CTA matches the visitor’s intent and that the page answers the questions needed to continue.
Find and understand drop-off points
Funnel analysis shows where visitors leave. The source article gives examples such as confusing payment details, difficulty adding items to a basket, slow downloads and unclear privacy information. These are opportunities to improve the journey.
Measure, change and assess again
Use analytics to track visits, progression and drop-offs. Make a focused change, then compare conversion behaviour over time. Not every visitor is ready to become a lead, so interpret funnel data in the context of the audience and goal.
