About This Feature
The Sales Page Funnel transforms your product page into a more robust marketing asset by incorporating AI-generated marketing copy. What sets it apart from conventional product pages is the inclusion of additional content sections, which not only improve your search engine optimization (SEO) efforts but also offer ample space to emphasize the advantages of your course. This means that you can provide potential students with more detailed information and compelling reasons to choose your course, all within a single, strategically designed page.
How to Create a Sales Page Funnel
Follow the set-up prompts to create your new funnel as it guides you step-by-step through creating a funnel flow. Once you have completed the set-up, the prompts will generate a separate landing page and a funnel flowchart for your Sales Page Funnel.
