A marketing funnel is the journey someone takes from finding your business to becoming a paying customer. In 2025, attention is harder to win — and harder to keep — so having a funnel that guides people step-by-step is essential.

Funnels are not just for big businesses. They’re a smart system that gives small teams more control over their growth.
Write a short blog post answering a common customer question
Link it to a free offer like a checklist or discount
Use a form to collect email or phone number
Set up a 3-part follow-up email series
Add a booking link or CTA at the end of every message
That’s your first funnel and it’s enough to bring in real leads this month.
