The funnel view
The funnel view emphasizes progression and drop-off between stages. It is useful for understanding how many prospects move toward a conversion.
The journey view
A customer-journey map focuses more on what the person is trying to accomplish, the questions they have, the channels they use, and how the experience feels.
Why both matter
A conversion rate can tell you where a problem occurs, while journey research can help explain why. Quantitative and qualitative evidence work better together.
Map moments of uncertainty
Pay particular attention to transitions where the visitor must commit time, contact information, money, or trust.
Use one shared plan
Connect customer questions, page roles, conversion events, and follow-up in the same working map so strategy and implementation stay aligned.
