What are Funnel Conversion Rate

Funnel Conversion Rate is a key performance indicator (KPI) that measures the percentage of users who complete desired actions at different stages of the marketing or sales funnel, ultimately moving toward a macro-conversion such as a purchase, subscription, or sign-up. The funnel is typically divided into stages like awareness, consideration, decision, action, and, in the case of SaaS businesses, extends to retention and loyalty. Tracking funnel conversion rates at each stage helps businesses assess the effectiveness of their marketing, sales, and user experience strategies, identify bottlenecks, and uncover opportunities for optimization to improve the overall customer journey.
