Bottom of the Funnel (BoFu)

Bottom of the Funnel (BoFu) is the decision stage of the buyer’s journey where prospects are comparing vendors, validating proof, and getting ready to buy. Typical BoFu assets include pricing pages, product demos, trials, case studies, comparisons, and “alternative to” pages, all designed to remove final doubts and prompt a purchase decision.

BoFu sits at the end of the broader funnel (awareness → consideration → decision) and connects tightly with sales conversations, proposals, and negotiation. 

Why It Matters

• Highest intent = highest impact: Buyers here are close to purchase strong BoFu content directly lifts conversions and revenue. 

• De-risks decisions: Social proof (case studies, reviews), ROI calculators, and transparent pricing reduce uncertainty. 

• Enables sales velocity: Good BoFu collateral (demos, comparison one-pagers, security/implementation docs) shortens cycles. 

• Improves CAC efficiency: Remarketing and high-intent SEO focus spend on users most likely to convert. 

Examples

• SaaS: Free-trial → interactive demo → pricing page with annual discount → security & compliance page → customer case study download. 

• E-commerce: Comparison table vs. leading alternatives, trust badges, returns policy, and checkout FAQs to remove friction. 

• Services: Industry-specific case studies, “packages & pricing,” onboarding plan, and proposal templates. 

Best Practices

1. Match high-intent keywords (e.g., “X vs Y,” “best [category] for [use case],” “[brand] pricing”) with BoFu pages. 

2. Stack proof: case studies, testimonials, ROI stats, awards, security docs. 

3. Reduce friction: crystal-clear pricing, live chat, short demo forms, easy trials, money-back or pilot offers. 

4. Tighten sales alignment: arm reps with comparison sheets, battle cards, implementation plans. 

5. Retarget smartly: remarket to cart abandoners, trial users, pricing-page visitors with tailored creatives. 

6. Measure BoFu KPIs: demo-to-close rate, proposal acceptance, checkout conversion, CAC payback, pipeline velocity.
