TOFU / MOFU / BOFU

TOFU, MOFU, and BOFU stand for top-of-funnel, middle-of-funnel, and bottom-of-funnel — the three stages a buyer moves through from first awareness to purchase. TOFU covers awareness and reach, MOFU covers consideration and nurture, and BOFU covers decision and conversion. In dolv, all three roll into one unified funnel intelligence score using a rolling 30-day baseline and a weighted composite (TOFU 0.25, MOFU 0.40, BOFU 0.35), so you can see overall funnel health and which stage is the bottleneck.

What TOFU / MOFU / BOFU actually is

The marketing funnel is the path a buyer takes from never having heard of you to becoming a customer, and TOFU, MOFU, and BOFU are the three slices of that path. TOFU (top-of-funnel) is awareness — reach, impressions, and new visitors discovering you. MOFU (middle-of-funnel) is consideration — leads engaging with your content, comparing options, and moving through nurture. BOFU (bottom-of-funnel) is decision — qualified pipeline turning into closed revenue. The same buyer flows through all three; the labels just tell you which job each stage has to do.

Why it matters

Looking at one stage in isolation hides the truth. A flood of TOFU traffic feels like success until none of it converts; a healthy BOFU close rate can mask a MOFU that quietly stopped nurturing. Reading TOFU, MOFU, and BOFU together is the only way to find the real bottleneck — usually the middle, which is why dolv weights it heaviest. It also lets you see leading indicators: a TOFU dip today is a BOFU problem next quarter. This whole-funnel view is the foundation of modern RevOps and honest marketing attribution.

How dolv does it

dolv is a grounded AI command center, and its unified funnel intelligence rolls TOFU, MOFU, and BOFU into one health score. Each stage is judged against a rolling 30-day baseline — its own recent trend, not a static target — and blended into a weighted composite (TOFU 0.25, MOFU 0.40, BOFU 0.35) so a single number tells you whether the funnel is healthy. A cross-metric correlation engine links movement in one stage to outcomes in another, five multi-touch attribution models credit the right touchpoints, and intent-signal lead scoring plus a full CRM sharpen the bottom. The signal comes from 20 read + write integrations — GA4, Search Console, Ahrefs, YouTube, the ad platforms, and more. Then grounded agents can act on what they find, with public actions queued in an Approvals inbox for sign-off.

TOFU — top of funnel. Awareness and reach: new visitors, impressions, organic traffic. dolv pulls signal from GA4, Search Console, Ahrefs, YouTube, and the ad platforms.
MOFU — middle of funnel. Consideration and nurture: leads engaging with your content and sequences. It carries the heaviest weight (0.40) because mid-funnel is where deals stall.
BOFU — bottom of funnel. Decision and conversion: qualified pipeline turning into closed revenue, tracked against your CRM and intent-signal lead scoring.
One weighted health score. A composite blends all three stages (0.25 / 0.40 / 0.35) against a rolling 30-day baseline, so one number tells you if the funnel is healthy.
Cross-metric correlations. A correlation engine connects movement in one stage to outcomes in another — so a TOFU dip that will hurt BOFU next month is visible now.
Attribution across stages. Five multi-touch attribution models credit the touchpoints in each stage, so you know what actually moved a buyer from awareness to close.

A short example

Your unified funnel score slips. dolv shows the drop is concentrated in MOFU — the heaviest stage at a 0.40 weight — falling against its rolling 30-day baseline. The correlation engine traces it to a nurture sequence that quietly stopped firing, and flags that if MOFU stays soft, BOFU pipeline will thin out in a few weeks. An agent drafts three follow-up emails grounded in your playbooks, updates the affected CRM records itself, and queues the emails in the Approvals inbox. You review, approve, and watch the status move to executing, then done — with the result tracked back against the funnel. That is the difference between three disconnected dashboards and one funnel you can actually operate. dolv it.

FAQ

TOFU / MOFU / BOFU questions

Quick answers to what people ask about the funnel stages.

What do TOFU, MOFU, and BOFU stand for?

TOFU is top-of-funnel (awareness and reach — new visitors and first impressions), MOFU is middle-of-funnel (consideration and nurture — leads engaging with your content and sequences), and BOFU is bottom-of-funnel (decision and conversion — qualified pipeline turning into closed revenue). Together they describe the journey a buyer takes from first hearing about you to becoming a customer. In dolv all three roll into one funnel intelligence score.

Why is MOFU weighted more heavily than TOFU and BOFU?

dolv blends the three stages into a single composite health score weighted TOFU 0.25, MOFU 0.40, and BOFU 0.35. The middle of the funnel carries the most weight because consideration is where most deals stall — plenty of traffic at the top and clear intent at the bottom still fail if nurture breaks in the middle. Weighting MOFU highest keeps the score honest about where pipeline actually leaks.

How does dolv measure the full funnel?

dolv unifies TOFU, MOFU, and BOFU into one funnel intelligence view built on a rolling 30-day baseline, so every stage is judged against its own recent trend rather than a static target. A cross-metric correlation engine links movement in one stage to outcomes in another, five multi-touch attribution models credit the right touchpoints, and grounded agents can act on what they find — with public actions queued for human approval.
