Analysing a conversion funnel: Common mistakes to avoid
This guide covers Analysing a conversion funnel. Use one real case and keep the next step clear.
What matters in practice
Key rule: Measure steps from entry to goal and investigate the largest drop-off first.
Look for clear mistakes first. Then change one point only.
A reliable way to work
Set one question before the test. Decide what result should count.
Name one owner. Record the current state.
Change one point only. Then check the result.
If money, customers or public claims are involved, add a human review.
Check the result again later. Keep only what helps the goal.
