When Product Engagement Isn’t the Right Fit

In-app guidance is great for onboarding and feature adoption. But PDP conversion optimization requires a different workflow: audits, goal-based tracking, recommendations, and safe shipping with KPI guardrails.

Focused on in-app adoption, not PDP conversion optimization
Implementation often needs governance and ongoing ownership
Analytics and guides still don’t tell you what to change on a PDP
Not designed for versioned PDP shipping with KPI monitoring and rollback
