What Is a Marketing Funnel & How to Build One Ever wonder how many times a customer interacts with your brand before buying? Well, that’s where the marketing funnel steps in — it helps you trace the buyer journey from “I just found your website” to “Here’s my money.” Let’s break it down ? What is a marketing funnel? A marketing funnel maps your customer’s journey through various stages — from first discovering your brand to finally purchasing. The classic model? AIDA: Awareness – They know there’s a problem and discover your product Interest – They start exploring what you offer Desire – They like what they see and dig deeper Action – They buy (or at least seriously consider it) Pretty straightforward. But what makes it powerful is how you use it. ? Stages of the funnel Think of it like an actual funnel — wide at the top, narrow at the bottom. Not everyone who enters will convert, but each stage helps you refine your approach. 1. Top of Funnel (TOFU) – Awareness This is where strangers become aware of your brand. They might land on your site from a Google search, scroll past your ad on Instagram or hear your podcast. ? What works here: SEO-optimised landing pages Paid ads (Facebook, Google) Social media content & YouTube videos
Podcasts or explainer reels ✅ Example: One of our SEO landing pages on WhatsApp CRM ranks in the top 5 on Google. That single page brings in thousands of visits every month. 2. Middle of Funnel (MOFU) – Consideration Now that you have their attention, it's time to build trust. Here, leads start evaluating if you’re worth their time (and money). ? What works here: Blog posts and guides Industry-specific landing pages Social proof: testimonials, case studies Targeted content on social platforms They’re not buying yet — but they’re warming up. 3. Bottom of Funnel (BOFU) – Conversion You’ve got their interest. Now close the deal. ? What works here: Free trials or demo calls Cart abandonment emails FAQ pages to kill doubts One-on-one outreach Customer testimonials and reviews These are your hot leads. Help them take that final step. ? Why you need a funnel Without a marketing funnel, you’re shooting in the dark. You won’t know where leads are dropping off, what’s working or how to improve. A well-built funnel helps you: Organise your marketing efforts Identify problem points in the journey Turn more strangers into paying customers
