Funnel analytics should tell you where qualified prospects come from, how they move through the journey, where they stop, and what happens after conversion.

Field note: Use competitor research to understand mechanisms and customer decisions. Build original copy, creative, proof, and offers for your own audience.

Start with events

Define the important events: landing-page view, opt-in, registration, attendance, application, checkout start, purchase, booked call, qualified opportunity, or another business-specific outcome.

Preserve source context

Use consistent campaign parameters and attribution conventions so you can compare traffic sources without rewriting your tracking taxonomy every month.

Measure downstream quality

A source with cheaper leads can be worse if those leads rarely buy, retain, or fit the product. Connect top-of-funnel metrics to business outcomes where possible.

Keep the dashboard small

A useful dashboard answers recurring decisions. Add metrics because someone will act on them, not because the analytics tool makes them available.
