BOFU content
Bottom-of-funnel content like comparisons, pricing and case studies, aimed at readers who are close to buying.
In depth
What it really means
BOFU stands for bottom of funnel: content for people who already know their problem and are choosing a solution. Comparison pages, alternatives pages, case studies, pricing explainers and product docs all live here.
BOFU traffic is smaller than top-of-funnel, but it converts far better because the reader is close to a decision. It is usually the content with the clearest link to revenue.
