The method
Build the funnel that names the leak
A funnel is a sequence with a name: landing → search → product → cart → checkout. The point isn't the chart — it's knowing the exact step that loses the most visitors and fixing that step.
Forms and clicks are the underrated steps
Form starts versus submissions and goal completions reveal friction that page-view funnels miss entirely — the form you think is working but isn't.
Attribution keeps the numbers honest
With bot and AI-crawler filtering, the funnel reflects real human movement — no inflated views hiding the real drop-off.
