Choose one primary action: collect a lead, sell a product, enroll a student, register a webinar attendee, or book a meeting. Keep the first build narrow enough that you can test the entire journey.
2. Create The Funnel
Use the funnel area to create the required steps. Choose a template as a starting structure, then rewrite the page around your audience, offer, proof, and next action. Remove sections that do not help the decision.
3. Connect Contacts And Email
Make sure an opt-in creates the intended contact and starts the correct campaign or workflow. Use clear names for campaigns, tags, and automations so the account remains understandable as it grows.
4. Add The Conversion Or Delivery Step
For a paid offer, configure the appropriate checkout and product relationship. For a course or digital product, verify what grants access. For lead generation, make the thank-you page and first email deliver exactly what was promised.
5. Test As A New User
Open the funnel in a private browser, use a fresh email address, complete the intended action, and inspect every message and destination. Repeat on mobile. A funnel is not ready because the editor looks correct.
6. Improve From Real Friction
Once traffic arrives, look for the stage where qualified visitors stop. Improve the offer, explanation, form, checkout, or follow-up that corresponds to that stage instead of redesigning everything at once.
