What is Funnels?
In digital marketing, a funnel represents the journey a potential buyer takes before they make a purchase or complete a desired action. It’s often depicted as a funnel because it begins with a wide array of prospects at the top (awareness) and gradually narrows down to a smaller group of qualified leads at the bottom (conversion).
