A website funnel—also called a marketing or conversion funnel—is a series of pages and sources that seamlessly work together to guide your visitor to the desired action, creating a conversion. These can include follow-up emails, text messages, etc. as well.

A conversion is simply meeting the goal you want your site to achieve, whether that’s signing up for an email newsletter or buying a product/service, becoming a member, etc. It’s very important that you decide what counts as a conversion before you begin your marketing efforts.
