Mapping a Funnel Before Building

Draw every page, offer and email on one map before you open the builder.

A funnel map shows the path from traffic to opt-in to purchase to follow up, with every page, offer and email. It reveals gaps before you spend hours building.

Walk through the map as a traveler would walk through an airport. Where would they stop? Where would they get lost?

Do it step by step

  1. Start with the traffic source.
  2. Draw each page as a box with its one goal.
  3. Draw yes and no paths after every offer.
  4. Add the emails and where they send people.
