Audit my conversion funnel from landing to purchase. Show each step's conversion rate, identify the biggest drop-off, and recommend specific fixes ranked by impact.
- Maps every funnel step with conversion rate.
- Identifies the single biggest drop-off.
- Benchmarks against your category.
- Ranked fixes with expected impact on overall conversion.
What you're trying to do
Most CRO work optimizes whatever's loudest, not whatever's biggest. A funnel audit ranks steps by drop-off rate and tells you where to put the next dollar of effort. Sometimes it's PDP → ATC, sometimes it's cart → checkout — but you'll know.
Things to watch out for
- Data quality — Fudge handles this: needs GA4 or equivalent funnel tracking.
- Benchmarks — Fudge uses category-specific conversion benchmarks.
- Significance — Fudge waits for statistical confidence before recommending.
- Funnel definition — Fudge respects your specific funnel shape (some have quizzes, some have upsells).
How Fudge does it
Fudge runs the audit against your live store — no changes made — and delivers a prioritized report with specific findings ranked by impact. Any fix can be applied in one tap: Fudge writes the change into a draft theme so your live store stays untouched until you preview, approve, and publish.
What a conversion funnel audit reveals
A conversion funnel audit measures the step-by-step drop-off from landing to purchase: landing → product view → add to cart → checkout → purchase. The audit surfaces the biggest single drop-off (usually one step accounts for 60–80% of total loss) and recommends specific fixes ranked by impact.
When to run this audit
Run the funnel audit if your overall conversion is below category benchmark (typically 1.5–3% for considered-purchase categories) or if you can’t articulate why shoppers are bailing. Especially worth doing before major paid traffic investment.
The audit requires GA4 (or equivalent) tracking. Without it, the funnel is unmeasurable.
What makes a great audit
- Per-step conversion rate — visible at every step. Identifies which step is the biggest leak.
- Cohort segmentation — paid vs. organic, mobile vs. desktop, first-time vs. returning. Different segments fail at different steps.
- Biggest drop-off flagged — single highest-leverage step to fix.
- Specific fixes ranked by impact — each fix comes with an estimated lift, not generic suggestions.
- Funnel benchmarking — comparison to category averages helps identify which steps are actually broken vs. normal.
Common mistakes to avoid
The biggest mistake is fixing the wrong step. The visual symptom (low add-to-cart rate) often isn’t the root cause (slow PDP load, broken variant selector). Diagnose before prescribing.
The second mistake is fixing one step in isolation. Funnel steps interact — fixing PDP friction may shift the bail to checkout. Re-measure after each fix.
