So, you have a fantastic product. Your tech is top-notch and you’re constantly onboarding users. Yet, your company isn’t growing. You’re not able to retain users. Frustrating, because you don’t know why. It seems that your users like your product. But do they love it?

If you’re unable to retain your users, it’s important to dig deeper and identify the root cause of the issue. While it may seem that your users like your product, it’s crucial to determine whether they truly love it. This is where conducting a UX audit (link to UX audit page) can be incredibly valuable. This involves among others an expert review of the design, functionality, and content of the product to identify usability issues and areas for improvement. By examining your product from the user’s perspective and identifying pain points or areas for improvement, you can create a product that not only meets but exceeds their expectations, ultimately leading to increased retention and growth.
