Content strategy and UX copy

Project overview

Given typeahead is used by 80% of digital customers (and those who use it spend 20% more per order), H-E-B wanted to maximize the potential of typeahead for revenue and build on the existing design. The goals included:

  • Inspiring customers to explore new and trending products

  • Expanding Average Order Value and growing cart size by exposing seasonal, trending, and recipe experiences

  • Helping returning customers easily access their frequently searched items

What I did

  • Competitive analysis

  • Ideation on typeahead content options

  • Search bar copy alignment across the experience

  • Workshop development and facilitation to align on content strategy in typeahead with marketing and merchandising stakeholders

  • UX copy for all final typeahead sections

  • Coordination with our CMS platform team to provide an interface for updating "Explore more" ingress points
