Funnel Stage Definitions
Stage 1: TOFU (Top of Funnel) — Awareness
Objective: Introduce the brand to cold audiences who have never heard of the business. Maximize reach and initial engagement at the lowest cost.
Campaign Objective by Platform:
- Meta: Brand Awareness or Reach campaign objective
- Google: Display Network campaigns, YouTube awareness (TrueView), Discovery ads
- LinkedIn: Brand Awareness objective, Sponsored Content
Audience Targeting (Cold):
- Interest-based targeting aligned to industry
- Lookalike/Similar audiences built from customer lists (1%-3% lookalike)
- Broad demographic targeting with exclusions (exclude existing customers)
- In-market audiences (Google) for people actively researching
- Job title / industry / company size targeting (LinkedIn)
Ad Format Recommendations:
| Platform | Best TOFU Formats | Why |
|---|
| Meta | Video ads (15-30s), Carousel (educational), Reels | Video drives lowest CPM and highest reach. Reels get organic boost. |
| Google Display | Responsive Display Ads, YouTube bumper ads (6s), TrueView | Massive reach at low cost. YouTube builds brand recall. |
| LinkedIn | Single Image + thought leadership, Video ads | Professional context builds authority. Sponsored articles for depth. |
Copy Angle (TOFU):
- Lead with the PROBLEM, not the solution
- Use pattern-interrupt hooks: surprising stats, bold claims, contrarian takes
- NO hard sell — educate, entertain, or provoke curiosity
- End with soft CTA: "Learn more" / "See how" / "Watch this"
Copy Templates:
TOFU Hook Formula 1 — Stat Shock:
"[X%] of [audience] are [doing thing wrong]. Here's what [successful people] do instead."
TOFU Hook Formula 2 — Contrarian:
"Stop [common advice]. It's costing you [money/time/results]."
TOFU Hook Formula 3 — Curiosity Gap:
"We spent [time/money] testing [thing]. The results changed everything."
TOFU Hook Formula 4 — Enemy:
"[Industry] doesn't want you to know this about [topic]."
Landing Page Requirements:
- Blog post, video, or educational content page
- NO hard sell forms above the fold
- Email opt-in with lead magnet (checklist, guide, calculator) as secondary CTA
- Pixel/tag installed for retargeting pool building
- Page load time under 3 seconds
KPIs to Track:
| KPI | Target Benchmark |
|---|
| CPM (Cost per 1,000 impressions) | $5-$15 (Meta), $2-$8 (Google Display), $30-$80 (LinkedIn) |
| Video View Rate (VVR) | >25% (Meta), >20% (YouTube) |
| ThruPlay Rate (Meta) | >15% for 15s+ videos |
| Click-Through Rate (CTR) | >1.0% (Meta), >0.5% (Display), >0.4% (LinkedIn) |
| Cost Per ThruPlay | <$0.05 (Meta) |
| Reach frequency | 1.5-2.5x per week |
| Landing page view rate | >70% of clicks |
Budget Allocation: 25-35% of total ad spend
Stage 2: MOFU (Middle of Funnel) — Consideration
Objective: Nurture warm audiences who have engaged with TOFU content. Build trust, demonstrate value, overcome objections, and move prospects toward a decision.
Campaign Objective by Platform:
- Meta: Traffic, Engagement, or Lead Generation objective
- Google: Search campaigns (non-brand keywords), YouTube consideration
- LinkedIn: Website Visits, Lead Generation forms
Audience Targeting (Warm):

- Lookalike audiences from MOFU engagers (1%-2%)
Ad Format Recommendations:
| Platform | Best MOFU Formats | Why |
|---|
| Meta | Carousel (case studies/features), Lead Form ads, Collection ads | Carousel lets you tell a story across cards. Lead forms reduce friction. |
| Google | Search (informational keywords), YouTube in-stream (60s+), Gmail ads | Search captures active intent. YouTube builds depth. |
| LinkedIn | Message ads (InMail), Document ads, Event ads | Direct outreach feels personal. Documents build authority. |
Copy Angle (MOFU):
- Lead with the SOLUTION and differentiation
- Use social proof: testimonials, case studies, results, numbers
- Address the top 3 objections for the business type
- Provide value before asking: free resource, calculator, assessment
- CTA: "Get the free guide" / "See the case study" / "Book a free consultation"
Copy Templates:
MOFU Formula 1 — Social Proof:
"[Customer name/type] went from [before state] to [after state] in [timeframe]. Here's how."
MOFU Formula 2 — Objection Crusher:
"Think [product/service] is [common objection]? [Customer] thought so too. Then they [result]."
MOFU Formula 3 — Comparison:
"We compared [your solution] vs [alternative]. The difference? [Key differentiator]."
MOFU Formula 4 — Value-First:
"Free [resource type]: [Specific deliverable] that shows you [desired outcome]."
