BEHIND THE EXPERIENCE
Hotjar's Tracking Code Installation Screen ft. Alessio Laiso
Imagine signing up for a product, and the last screen of the onboarding experience asks you to install a tracking code to your app. If you're not a developer, you'll likely leave and never come back! That's one of the challenges for Hotjar, a platform that gives people insight into their users' behavior. In this episode, Alessio Laiso, Senior Product Designer at Hotjar, shares:
- An overview of identifying Hotjar's users' personas
- Some critical indicators on how they can drive toward user engagement
- How Hotjar empowers product teams to empathize with their users while bringing personalization and guidance.
Quotes:
“When we simplified and removed some of the illustrations on our onboarding, things worked better! That was surprising.”
“We reverse engineered the golden path. What actions did our most engaged users do? Then, we guided new users towards that path.”
“The key to improve the user onboarding experience is personalizing it based on the user’s goal.”
