Paid Traffic
As for funnels for paid traffic channels, they are ideal for proving the value of the financial investment to the client, showing everything from the budget applied to the amount of conversions generated by the campaigns developed over the period.
In other words, it’s an essential feature for those working with advertising on Google, Meta, TikTok, Twitter, and much more!
Social Media
On social media, you can also conduct an analysis in funnel format, comparing how your posts have generated reach, engagement, and interactions at various touchpoints on your profile – such as clicks on the website link, message inquiries, among others.
If you have this data, you can manually add a metric that demonstrates how many followers got in touch through the channel to request a quote, make an appointment, or complete a purchase, reaching the bottom of the funnel through social media.
E-commerce
For those with an e-commerce business, it’s also possible to conduct performance analysis through a funnel created in Google Analytics 4, with a focus on e-commerce data.
By adding metrics at different stages, you can illustrate the entire journey from site arrival, product addition to the cart, purchase completion, and total revenue. This way, you can pinpoint which stages are truly delivering the expected results and which ones require more attention in your project.
