I went straight to neighborhoods and local events, which felt obvious in retrospect.
Start by clarifying the goal of the hyperlocal feature and the specific user problem it solves, then segment users to identify the most valuable use cases. Propose a solution that leverages Facebook's existing strengths (e.g., Groups, Events, Marketplace) and outline how you would measure success and iterate.
Pro tip: Anchor your answer in a specific user pain point and show how the feature drives Meta's business goals (e.g., engagement, monetization) while being mindful of privacy and safety implications.
Ask clarifying questions to understand the scope, target users, and success metrics. Define what 'hyperlocal' means in this context (e.g., neighborhood-level) and the core problem to solve.
Identify key user segments (e.g., residents, local businesses, community organizers) and their unmet needs related to local discovery, connection, or commerce.
Brainstorm features that address the pain points, leveraging existing Facebook assets like Groups, Events, Marketplace, and Pages. Prioritize ideas based on impact and feasibility.
Select the most promising idea, define a minimum viable product (MVP), and outline key functionalities. Consider trade-offs and potential risks (e.g., privacy, moderation).
Define success metrics (e.g., DAU, engagement, local business participation) and a plan for testing, learning, and iterating post-launch.
