Before creating a Funnel you need first to think at your business goals and then set goals for your website. After you have set one or multiple goals for your website create conversion funnels and track them in time.
By creating a conversion funnel you will set up and track the stages that your visitors follow on their way to achieve a goal.
For more details on how to create your own conversion funnels please follow the instructions below.
From the [General Settings] of your profile go to [Reports] and select the [Funnels] menu. Here you can see a list with the available funnels, add more funnels, delete or change existing ones. At this moment we don't have any Funnels and we want to create one.
Click on the [Create new funnel] button to add a new funnel for your profile and follow these steps:
-
Choose an easily identifiable name for your funnel.
-
Set the goal value for your Funnel. For example if your goal is the visitor to buy your software and it costs $200, then the goal value should be "200". But if your goal is the visitor to leave hi/her contact details, and your statistics shown that you convert 5% of visitors who left their details with you, then the goal value should be "10".
-
Click the [Next] button to go to the next step.
-
Now you need to create the stages that your visitors follow on their way to achieve your goal.
-
Choose an easily identifiable name for your stage. For example "Index", "Features", "Downloads"
-
Type the name of the page for your stage. For example "index.html", "features.html", "downloads.html".
-
Select the matching condition for your page, from "equals", "starts with" or "regular expression".
-
Now click on the "Test stage configuration" to see if there are any matches for your stage.
-
If there are any matches click the "Add stage" button to add this stage to your conversion funnel.
-
-
After the stage has been added successfully , you can add up to 10 stages to the conversion funnel. When you want to add the last stage click on the "Finish" button to add the last stage and save the changes for your funnel.
Finally click on the funnel just created, and select the [Run now] option to automatically schedule a log parse.
