Img. User Customer Journey

User Journey

With the business goal of increasing conversions in mind, I focused on mapping the checkout flow, as it is the critical path where users finalize engagement with 7Heights.ai’s services. I chose this path because any friction here directly impacts sign-ups and revenue.

Competitors in the Digital Marketing Space

What This Analysis Revealed: Market Gaps & Opportunities

• Many existing agencies tend to target either large enterprises (like iProspect) or offer broad, “all‑in‑one” services (like SEO Discovery, WATConsult). They often assume a certain level of marketing-literacy in clients — which can overwhelm small/medium business owners who just want clarity and simplicity.

• There's a gap for a solution-oriented, user-friendly marketing platform — one that doesn’t just sell services, but helps users understand what they need, choose intelligently, and proceed confidently.

• Users frequently get lost among too many services, options, technical jargon — existing offerings aren’t always built around empathy for non-marketer clients.

  
  

How 7Heights.ai Can Differentiate (Based on Findings)

• Simplicity-first UX & Clear Information Architecture — build content and navigation that doesn't overwhelm, but leads users gently toward the right service.

• Guidance & Handholding — rather than dumping services, help users choose based on their business goals (e.g. via questionnaires, recommendations, clear value propositions).

• Trust & Transparency — use testimonials, case studies, clear explanation of services/prices — something that’s sometimes missing in big agencies.

• Accessibility for SMEs & Non‑Experts — make marketing services approachable for small business owners who may lack time or marketing knowledge.

Card Sorting

The goal of card sorting was to ensure that the site’s information architecture aligned with user expectations, making it easier for users to find and explore services without confusion.

Method:

• Conducted 6 remote card sorting sessions using FigJam.

• Focused on organizing 36 existing product/service categories into intuitive groups.

  
  

Participant Groupings:

• Participants naturally grouped the categories into 6 main clusters.

• Each main category included 4–7 subcategories, reflecting users’ logical mental models and expectations.

  
  

Insights & Mental Models:

• Users preferred smaller, clearly labeled groups rather than long lists.

• Logical hierarchy and descriptive labeling improved clarity and reduced cognitive load.

• Participants’ groupings revealed how they conceptually think about marketing services, which differed slightly from the previous site structure.

  
  

Impact on Design:

• Created a simplified navigation structure that aligns with user expectations.

• Reduced friction in service discovery, helping users find offerings quickly.

• Laid the foundation for a clear content hierarchy and more intuitive site flows, ultimately improving engagement and usability.
