This document discusses conversion paths, which are the process by which an anonymous website visitor becomes a known lead. A conversion path is important for marketers because it guides visitors through an online journey to become leads. A conversion path consists of three key elements: a call-to-action that drives visitors to landing pages where they can fill out forms, becoming leads, and are then directed to thank you pages that provide content and encourage further engagement. The document provides examples of how conversion paths work and recommends next steps for learning more about creating effective conversion paths.

convert visitors to leads. It is where the offer in the call-to-

in a form.

to-action and landing page is finally delivered to the visitor
who, after submitting a form, is now a lead.
