I led the revision of the compare experience within the product detail pages on bestbuy.com and native app. My strategy to build on the existing, limited experience by incorporating engaging features and valuable content that customers were already using to compare products on their own terms was successful.

Engagement within compare grew and the experience evolved into an opportunity to convert guests into customers by providing tools to aid their shopping journey within the product detail pages.

Adding generative AI pros and cons, highlighting unique terms for visibility.

Adding a spec menu and a filter to hide similar terms to facilitate guest browsing.

Adding product image and summary content for easy access within compare.

Redesigning the ratings component, adding numbers for easy comparison.
