Best Practices for Conducting Product Discovery

Here are three best practices for a product discovery experience that can benefit both your customers and your company long-term.

1. Focus on customer objectives rather than search queries

The most important guiding concept for your brand is to consider who your target audience is and what they hope to accomplish when they arrive at your digital experience. People are more than just what they search for. They have desires, requirements, and objectives pertaining to everything they look for. 

2. Identify user cues

Looking at signals is the most effective technique to predict what a consumer will likely respond to during their journey. These are all the little things customers do on your website, such as how they land on your homepage, where they go next, how long they spend looking through your catalogue, what they've previously bought, and more. 

3. Use AI 

AI helps understand, analyze and evaluate user behavior and draw actionable insights. AI makes the product discovery process simpler, faster and intuitive.
