Step 1: Understand Funnel Stages
Every visitor goes through key funnel stages: Awareness → Interest → Consideration → Conversion → Retention. Align your content and offers with each stage to keep them moving forward.
- Awareness – Blog posts, social media content
- Interest – Lead magnets, email sequences
- Consideration – Case studies, testimonials
- Conversion – Landing pages, sales offers
- Retention – Upsells, newsletters, loyalty programs
Transition: Because when each step is optimized, your funnel turns from a leaky pipe into a profit machine.
Step 2: Build High-Converting Landing Pages
Your funnel is only as strong as your landing pages. Design with clarity, focus, and conversion in mind.
- Use one clear CTA (not multiple)
- Add benefit-focused headlines
- Include social proof: reviews, badges, testimonials
- Remove unnecessary distractions (nav, footers)
