A sales funnel is a simple way to show the steps people take before they buy something from your business. Imagine a funnel: it’s wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. At the top, lots of people might hear about your business or visit your website. As they move through each step - like learning more about your products, thinking about buying, and finally making a purchase - fewer people continue on, just like how a funnel gets smaller at the bottom.

The sales funnel helps you see where customers drop off and where you can improve, so you can guide more people to become paying customers.

They serve different purposes, and the best choice depends on your business goals and needs. Sales funnels are designed to guide visitors step-by-step toward a specific action, such as making a purchase or booking an appointment. They keep the user focused, reduce distractions, and typically achieve higher conversion rates because each page has a single, clear call to action. This makes funnels especially effective for targeted campaigns, lead generation, and direct sales.

Websites, on the other hand, are broader and more informational. They showcase your brand, products, and services, build trust, and attract organic traffic through SEO. A website is ideal for educating visitors, providing resources, and establishing your business’s credibility and authority.
