I went straight to user segmentation and started rattling off pain points for different personas, commuters vs tourists vs local explorers.
Start by clarifying the goal of the improvement—whether it's increasing user engagement, monetization, or market share—and then segment users to identify high-impact opportunities. Choose one or two areas to focus on, propose a feature or enhancement, and prioritize based on impact and feasibility, aligning with Google's mission.
Pro tip: Show that you understand Google's ecosystem and data advantages by suggesting improvements that leverage existing assets like Search, Assistant, or user location history, while being mindful of privacy concerns.
Ask clarifying questions to understand the objective: is it to grow daily active users, improve retention, increase revenue, or enter new markets? Define the scope of the improvement.
Break down users into segments (e.g., commuters, travelers, local explorers) and identify their key pain points or unmet needs through data or hypothetical scenarios.
Generate potential features or enhancements that address the pain points, then select the most promising one based on impact, feasibility, and alignment with Google's strengths.
Use a prioritization framework (e.g., RICE) to evaluate the chosen idea, define a minimum viable product, and outline success metrics.
Conclude with a clear recommendation, potential risks, and how you would measure success (e.g., engagement, retention, revenue).
