Testing A New FERMÀT Funnel vs a BAU Page

Run A/B tests with Forever Links to compare a new FERMÀT funnel against your existing BAU (Business-As-Usual) page.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

FERMÀT lets you split traffic between two destinations—like a FERMÀT funnel and a BAU landing page—using Forever Links. This enables you to measure conversion lift, engagement, and other downstream funnel metrics across both experiences.


What’s in this guide:


Creating a Forever Link

  1. Navigate to Funnels → Links

  2. Click Create Forever Link

  3. Give your link a clear title (e.g., “Holiday Funnel Test”)


Mapping destinations

  1. Under Routing Type, select Weight based split

  2. Choose your FERMÀT Funnel as one destination

  3. Choose your BAU (Business-as-Usual) Page (external URL) as the second

  4. Assign a traffic percentage split (e.g., 50% / 50%)

📝 You can return and adjust split traffic later. Be aware that changes reset analytics for this URL starting midnight UTC.


Launching your test

After creating your split link:

  1. Copy your new Forever Link

  2. Clone your ad sets on your ad platform (Meta, TikTok, etc.)

  3. Replace the original URL with your Forever Link in each ad variation

This setup ensures your traffic is split cleanly between funnel and BAU pages for measurable impact.


Evaluating performance

To analyze performance across destinations:

  1. Go to Funnels → Links

  2. Click the three-dot menu beside your link

  3. Select Analytics

You’ll be able to view event-level analytics for each destination—such as views, conversions, AOV, and click-through rate.


What to expect post-launch

Within your first week

Your ads may still be in the learning phase. It's critical not to pause or edit them during this period. Meta, TikTok, and other platforms require stable delivery to learn effectively. Aim for 50+ purchases per variation to exit the learning phase.

Post learning-phase

Once out of the learning phase:

  • Scale up budget for high performers

  • Pause or optimize underperformers

  • Use insights to iterate on funnel structure and creative
