Define the main conversion
Choose the business outcome that matters most: purchase, qualified lead, booked call, activation, or another concrete action.
Measure stage transitions
Track how many eligible visitors move from one meaningful stage to the next. This reveals where the journey loses momentum.
Add quality metrics
Lead volume or signup rate can mislead if downstream quality is poor. Connect early actions to later outcomes when possible.
Segment carefully
Traffic source, audience, device, offer, and campaign can behave differently. Use segments when they help explain a real decision.
Protect data quality
Consistent event definitions, clean tagging, and documented changes matter. A precise-looking dashboard is useless if the underlying events are unreliable.
