Design funnel around the outcome, not your product. ### Step 2: Map Awareness Levels | Level | What They Know | Content Type | |-------|---------------|--------------| | Unaware | Nothing | Attention-grabbing content, hooks | | Problem-aware | They have a problem | Problem-focused content | | Solution-aware | Solutions exist | Comparison content | | Product-aware | Your product exists | Feature/benefit content | | Most aware | Ready to buy | Offer, CTA, proof | ### Step 3: Design Stage-by-Stage For each stage define: - **Traffic source** — where do they come from? - **Content/page** — what do they see? - **Single goal** — one action we want - **Metric** — how we measure success - **Drop-off fix** — what to do if conversion is low ### Step 4: Set Conversion Benchmarks | Funnel Stage | Good Rate | Average Rate | |---|---|---| | Landing page opt-in | 30-50% | 10-20% | | Email open rate | 25-35% | 15-25% | | Email click rate | 5-10% | 2-5% | | Sales page conversion | 3-8% | 1-3% | | Checkout completion | 60-80% | 40-60% | | Upsell take rate | 20-40% | 10-20% | ## Funnel Analysis Checklist ### Traffic Quality (TOFU) - [ ] Are keywords informational or transactional? - [ ] What is the awareness level of organic traffic? - [ ] Are top landing pages aligned with funnel entry points? - [ ] What is the organic CTR? (Target: 3%+ for position 1-3) ### Lead Capture (MOFU) - [ ] Is the lead magnet valuable enough to exchange email for? - [ ] How many form fields? (Less = higher conversion) - [ ] Is there a clear value proposition above the form? - [ ] What is the page load speed? (Each second costs ~20% conversion) ### Conversion (BOFU) - [ ] Does the sales/pricing page handle all objections? - [ ] Is social proof visible above the fold? - [ ] Is the CTA specific and benefit-led? - [ ] Is there a money-back guarantee or risk reversal? ## Optimization Priorities Rank by: (Impact × Likelihood) / Effort ### High Impact Fixes 1. **Headline** — 80% of visitors decide to stay or leave based on headline 2. **Page load speed** — 1s delay = 7% conversion drop (Google study) 3. **Form field reduction** — each field removed = ~10% more completions 4. **Social proof placement** — near CTA increases conversion 20-34% 5. **CTA copy** — specific beats generic ("Get My Free Audit" vs "Submit") ### A/B Test Priority Queue 1. Headline (highest leverage) 2. CTA copy + color 3. Form fields (remove one at a time) 4. Social proof placement 5. Hero image vs no image 6. Pricing display (monthly vs annual first) 7. Page length (long vs short) ## Output Templates ### Funnel Map ```markdown ## [Product/Service] Funnel Map **Entry:** [Traffic source + volume] **Goal:** [Primary conversion metric] | Stage | Page/Action | Metric | Current | Target | |-------|-------------|--------|---------|--------| | TOFU | Blog posts | Visits | X/month | Y/month | | MOFU | Lead magnet | Opt-ins | X% | Y% | | BOFU | Sales page | Conversions | X% | Y% | **Primary drop-off:** [Stage with biggest gap] **Immediate fix:** [One action to take this week] ``` ## Agent Integration **Primary:** Use for funnel design and conversion analysis **Related skills:** `cro`, `copywriting`, `marketing_psychology`, `seo` **Data sources:** `gsc_connector`, `ga4_connector`, `keyword_connector`
