Insurance Discovery - Increased Conversion 20%
Product discovery and UX experimentation
Problem
Insurance products had low discovery rates and conversion, with users not finding or engaging with insurance offerings. The existing discovery patterns and recommendation algorithms weren't effective. How might we improve insurance discovery and conversion through experimentation?
What I did

Navigating complexity through cross-functional collaboration
I worked closely with product managers to define experiment hypotheses and success metrics, with data scientists to optimize recommendation algorithms, and with engineers to implement experiment variations. I facilitated experiment planning sessions and analyzed results to inform design and algorithm decisions. Regular syncs with stakeholders ensured experiments aligned with business goals.
Challenges and trade-offs
This project required systematic experimentation across multiple platforms to optimize insurance discovery and conversion.
Key Challenges and Solutions
Testing Across Multiple Platforms
We needed to test discovery patterns across app, web, and mobile, each with different constraints. I designed experiments that accounted for platform differences while maintaining consistent testing methodology, enabling cross-platform insights.
Optimizing Recommendation Algorithms
Recommendation algorithms needed to be optimized based on user behavior, but testing algorithm changes required careful design. I worked with data scientists to design experiments that tested algorithm variations while maintaining user experience quality.
Balancing Discovery with User Experience
We needed to improve discovery without being intrusive or disrupting the main user journey. I designed discovery patterns that felt natural and contextual, improving discovery while maintaining positive user experience.
What I learnt
Conducting insurance discovery experiments taught me that product discovery is about relevance and timing, not just visibility. By testing different discovery patterns and optimizing recommendation algorithms, we found that users engaged more when insurance was presented at the right moment with relevant recommendations. The key was understanding that discovery optimization requires both good UX design and effective algorithms working together. This experience reinforced the importance of cross-platform experimentation in product discovery, where testing across different platforms reveals platform-specific insights while maintaining overall strategy.
