Funnel exploration lets you visualize the steps your users take to complete a task and quickly see how well they are succeeding or failing at each step. You can act on this information to improve your site and reduce inefficient or abandoned customer journeys.

Quick Tips: Advanced Analysis funnels

 

NOTE: The Explorations feature was previously known as "Advanced Analysis." The information in this video is still useful, however, some elements in the user interface now also have different names.

 

Funnels in Explorations work similarly to Custom Funnels in Analytics. However, Explorations funnels offer the following advantages over custom funnels: 

  • You can define up to 10 steps in the funnel
  • You can use a segment as a step 
  • You can apply up to 4 segments to the exploration
  • You can apply a breakdown dimension
  • The visualization includes a data table, providing greater context and detail

Explorations funnels are always "closed:"  users will only be considered as being part of the funnel if they enter a stage from the beginning of the funnel.

For example, you can set up a funnel to track users looking to buy your branded T-shirts. The funnel below compares the behavior of 4 different types of users (all, new, returning, and converting). The data table is broken down by country.
