Lead Leak Finder

A stage-by-stage breakdown of your funnel, covering visitors to leads, leads to MQLs, MQLs to SQLs and beyond, benchmarked against healthy retention rates so you know which stage to fix first.

Lead Leak Finder

Live

Enter last month's funnel volumes. Every stage is benchmarked, and each leak is priced in recoverable revenue, because the biggest drop and the most expensive one are rarely the same stage.

Your model

Sets which benchmark band each stage is judged against. A B2B funnel and an e-commerce funnel are not comparable.

Last month's funnel

Actual counts, not percentages. Approximate is fine, the diagnosis holds.

Visitor → lead is your most expensive leak
Bringing every stage to benchmark would take you from 4.0 to 13.1 customers a month — 3.3x, on identical traffic and identical spend. Start with Visitor → lead, which alone accounts for most of that gap.

Your funnel

Each step against its benchmark band. Red is below the poor threshold; amber is between poor and typical.

These do not sum to the total: each figure isolates a single fix with every other stage held where it is. Fixing two stages compounds, so the combined result is larger than adding two of these bars together.

Diagnosing Visitor → lead

The usual causes, and what to do about them, ordered by how quickly they move.

Common causes
  • Traffic arriving with the wrong intent — usually a targeting problem rather than a page problem
  • The offer asks for a commitment the visitor is not ready to make
  • Slow load or a broken mobile experience on the path to the form
  • The form asks for more than the conversation requires
1
Cut the form to the minimum viable question set

Every additional field costs conversions. Ask for what you need to start a conversation, and enrich the rest from the email domain afterwards.

2
Add a lower-commitment offer alongside the demo request

Most visitors are not ready for a sales call. A useful asset or a self-serve tool captures the ones who would otherwise leave without a trace.

3
Check mobile performance on a real connection

Not the desktop preview. A page that takes six seconds on a mobile network loses most of its visitors before they see the offer at all.
