Path to Conversion

The Customer - Paths page in Rockerbox provides a few different views of user path to conversion. Use this page to see all the unique paths to conversion with all marketing touchpoints, including duration, for each conversion event.

Leverage this page to gain a deeper understanding of user behavior and identify the role of each marketing channel and tactic in the funnel.

Priority Questions to Answer:

1. What paths drive users to convert the fastest vs. longest
2. What paths have the highest and lowest average revenue
3. What are the most and least common sequence of touchpoints (paid and organic)

How to use: Overall paths view

1. Go to Customers - Paths page
2. Select Grid icon on top right corner

3. Select timeframe you would like to look at - yesterday, 7 days, 30 days, or custom

4. Select which conversion event you would like to look at - for example you may want to view path to email signup instead of path to purchase

5. Select any filters you would like. You have the option to filter in a few different ways:

A) For paths that contain a specific touchpoint

This allows you to filter for all paths that contain a touchpoint with a specific marketing channel, tactic, or placement. For example - if you only want to look at paths that include a paid social touchpoint.


Use the Group By feature to filter with more granularity. If you want to look at paths that contain a specific campaign, tactic, or placement increase the number of buckets you are grouping by.

What is a "Bucket"?

Buckets refer to the Tiers that correspond with the structure of your marketing mapping - which can be seen in the Analytics - Reports view.

Bucket 1 is the highest level of and Bucket 5 is the most granular. For example, your bucket 1 may be the channel i.e. paid social while bucket 5 is the ad name/creative details.

B) For a specific first or last touchpoint

This allows you to filter for all paths that have a certain channel, tactic, or placement as a first or last touchpoint. For example, do you want to see for all paths with branded search as the last touchpoint, which channels drove users down the funnel?

6. Select what type of Customer you would like to view (New, Repeat, or All)

If you want to look at the path to conversion for new customers only - select the New Customers filter

Once you have completed adding your filters you are ready to view the results!

Each row represents a unique path to conversion and each colored block represents a touchpoint. You can see for each unique path - how many conversions had this path and what the average revenue was.

For the example below outlined in red - this path has one touchpoint before converting. 286 conversions had the path of one touchpoint - Paid Social. For these users, the average revenue was $81.66.
