Strategy and planning
Bottom of the funnel (BoFu) is the bottom of your funnel: someone wants to buy or enquire and is only choosing who from.
Searches here are concrete: a service plus a city, a brand name, "pricing", "request", "contact". What helps: a clear price indication, proof (reviews, cases), what happens after the request and a short form.
BoFu is usually the smallest volume with the highest value. Put your best pages, fastest load time and sharpest call to action here.
In practice
Betting everything on BoFu. Demand at the bottom is limited; without ToFu and MoFu your growth stays capped at existing search volume.
