PRODUCT DESIGNER
I help companies to make their user's interaction experience fun and enjoyable while at the same time increase their ROI by implementing significant UX improvements.
I always strive for simple aesthetic solutions and usability. I love finding creative solutions, based on the outcome of in-depth research and data analysis.

Improving Trial-to-Paid Conversion & MRR at SE Ranking
My role
Problem
Trial-to-paid conversion and total monthly MRR are too low because very few trial users purchase subscription and add-ons during their trial period.

User Journey Map Analysis

Hypothesis #1
We believe that trial users don’t realize they can tailor plans with keyword upgrades or add-on packs, so if we surface add-on options during checkout, they’ll attach more add-ons and that will lift overall MMR.
Prediction
If we introduce add-on upsells in the trial checkout flow, it can increase add-on attach-rate and total MMR.
Result: A/B test showed a small bump in add-on purchases, but overall trial conversion fell by 5% and total MMR dropped by 3%—hypothesis invalidated.
Big idea: Offer maximum flexibility to our customers.
A/B test
-
We built a pricing wizard that guides users through options
-
Pick additional keywords and user seats on one step
-
Pick your add-ons on the other step
-
Different plans show relevant pricing for keywords and add-ons

Increased Pro plan buying by 8%
A/B test showed a small bump in add-on purchases, but overall trial conversion fell by 5% and total MMR dropped by 3%. hypothesis invalidated.
Learnings
Choice overload hurts primary goals.
Presenting multiple up-sell plans in one flow confused many trial users.
Result

Hypothesis #2
We believe trial users defer add-on purchases until after they’ve committed, and that prompting add-ons during trial actually distracts from core value.
Big idea: Let trial users dive straight into our core product—remove all add-on and seat-upgrade prompts so they stay focused on value first, then tailor later.
A/B test
Prediction
If we remove all add-on and seat-upgrade prompts from the trial experience, we’ll reduce friction and drive a higher trial-to-paid conversion (and ultimately net more MMR).
Result: After rolling out the “no-upsell” trial flow, trial-to-paid conversion improved by 20% and total MMR increased by 15%.

Result
After rolling out the “no-upsell” trial flow, trial-to-paid conversion improved by 20% and total MMR increased by 10%.
Learnings
Removing the upsell at signup proved that users will convert once they’ve experienced core value
next, re-introduce add-ons contextually

Personalize at scale.
In future tests I’ll segment users by company size / usage patterns and tailor both pricing and copy for maximum relevance.
