Learn how to track and optimize your marketing funnel using Everflow's Funnel Report, with step-by-step instructions for analyzing customer journey stages, conversion rates, and event progression across your campaigns.

Overview

The Funnel Report in Everflow is designed to help you gain deep insights into your marketing funnel and customer journey while keeping your data clean in the process.

This report provides a detailed breakdown of user behavior, showing how users who triggered one Event (Offer or Advertiser level) went on to trigger other Events in your funnel.

In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to access, configure, and analyze the Funnel Report, helping you make data-driven decisions to optimize your marketing efforts.

With the Funnel Report, you can:

Visualize the linear relationships between selected Events
Track Conversion progression through different stages of the funnel
Assess associated costs and other key metrics for each funnel stage

Good to Know

The Funnel Report shows you which Events happened, but not the actual order they happened in. You choose the order of events when you set up the report - it's totally up to you! Drag and drop Event under Add Events drop-down menu.

A Real-Life Example

Let's consider a real-life example of how an e-commerce business might use the Funnel Report to optimize its marketing efforts. Imagine you're running a campaign for a new product launch, and you want to track the user journey from the initial ad click to the final purchase.

Set up your funnel:

Select "Offer Level Events" as the Funnel Type

Choose the specific product Offer as the Target

Add Events: Product Page View, Add to Cart, Checkout Initiated, Purchase Completed

Analyze the Funnel Report:

Check the Progression Rate at each stage to identify any significant drop-offs

Look at the Time Delta to see how long users take to move from Product Page View to Purchase Completed

Compare the Funnel CPA and Funnel RPA to assess the overall campaign profitability

Optimize based on insights:

If you notice a high drop-off rate between Product Page View and Add to Cart, consider improving your product descriptions or adding more compelling visuals

If the different source_ids are showing varying delta, review the creatives of the best and worst performing for optimization

If the Funnel CPA is higher than expected, adjust your ad targeting or bidding strategy to attract higher-quality traffic

By using the Funnel Report to analyze and optimize your product launch campaign, you can identify areas for improvement, make data-driven decisions, and ultimately increase your conversion rates and ROI.
