Funnel Leak Checklist

Review each stage of your funnel for common leaks. Check the warning signs, identify what to look for, and find recommended next steps.

1

Traffic Leak

Warning signs

High bounce rate, low time on page, traffic that does not match your offer.

What to check

Are you targeting the right audience? Does your ad or SEO content match the landing page message?

Recommended fix

Align traffic source messaging with landing page promise. Review ad targeting and keyword intent.

2

Landing Page Leak

Warning signs

Low conversion rate on landing pages, high exit rate above the fold.

What to check

Is your headline clear? Is the CTA visible without scrolling? Does the page load fast on mobile?

Recommended fix

Improve headline clarity, strengthen CTA contrast, add trust signals, and test mobile speed.

3

Offer Leak

Warning signs

Visitors arrive but do not sign up, buy, or book. High exit on pricing or offer pages.

What to check

Is your offer specific and compelling? Does pricing match expectations set by the landing page?

Recommended fix

Clarify what the visitor gets and why it is worth the ask. Test offer positioning and pricing presentation.

4

Trust Leak

Warning signs

Low form fills, abandoned checkouts, no social proof engagement.

What to check

Do you display testimonials, reviews, case studies, guarantees, or security badges where they matter?

Recommended fix

Add relevant trust signals at decision points: testimonials near CTA, security badges near form, guarantee near checkout.

5

Checkout Leak

Warning signs

High cart abandonment, drop-off on checkout page, low payment completion.

What to check

Are there unexpected costs? Do users need to create an account? Is the checkout page slow or confusing?

Recommended fix

Show total cost early, offer guest checkout, reduce form fields, add payment trust badges.

6

Follow-Up Leak

Warning signs

Low lead response, slow sales follow-up, leads that go cold.

What to check

How quickly do you respond to new leads? Is there an automated confirmation and follow-up sequence?

Recommended fix

Set up automated email confirmation, reduce first response time, and create a structured lead follow-up sequence.

7

Email Nurture Leak

Warning signs

Low open rates, low click rates, high unsubscribe rate after opt-in.

What to check

Are your emails relevant to the subscriber? Do you send consistently? Is the value clear in every email?

Recommended fix

Segment your list, improve subject lines, deliver valuable content consistently, and test send frequency.

8

Retargeting Leak

Warning signs

Visitors leave and never return. No retargeting campaign in place.

What to check

Do you have retargeting pixels set up? Are you running retargeting ads for cart abandoners and past visitors?

Recommended fix

Add retargeting pixels, create audience segments by behavior, and serve relevant ads to each segment.

9

Analytics Leak

Warning signs

You cannot measure funnel stage conversion rates. Decisions are based on guesses.

What to check

Is analytics tracking set up correctly? Can you see drop-off between each funnel stage?

Recommended fix

Set up conversion tracking for each stage, create funnel reports, and review data regularly to find bottlenecks.

10

Post-Purchase Leak

Warning signs

Low repeat purchase rate, no upsell or cross-sell, no referral program.

What to check

Do you follow up after purchase? Do you offer related products or ask for referrals?

Recommended fix

Set up post-purchase email sequences, offer relevant upsells, and create a referral incentive program.
