Lead Mirror is all in one SEO Tool to plan and optimize the marketing strategies for effective Lead Conversions,but its Existing UI had so many usability issues which were affecting the overall User Experiences.
KPI’s

To increase user Engagement by 60%.
My Responsibility
As a Ux Designer my role is to learn and understand SEO to identify potential problems, conduct user interviews, Competitor analysis, Wireframing, Prototyping, Building UI Components, Usability Testing.
Project Duration:
March 2020 to May 2020.
Jumpstarting Research:
App Audit
My initial step was to understand the user data with the help from hotjar, Google Analytics and Google Search Console.
The Bounce ratio was 72% which is very high from the optimum rate of 40-50%.
The Average visit rate was 4 minutes which is 2 mins higher than optimum rate might indicate the user might be lost or confused by the use tool.
1.When I first opened the tool, I found terms like LINK SENSE, ORGANIC SENSE Which were new to me try googling it but did not find any relevant meaning. Guiding Hints for terms were also missing.
According to the 2nd Principle of Usability Heuristic: The System should speak users language (i.e SEO Terms).
2.I was lost in creating a new campaign, reason being the inline functions were not clearly visible and lack of a feedback system made me think I have done something wrong in the process.
3.The Confusing Delta Icons( Up & Down Arrow) meaning there is a change in rankings for keywords does not convey the same meaning as intended.
According to the fourth Principle of Usability Heuristic: Users should not have to wonder whether different words, situations, or actions mean the same thing.
User Persona
Then I came up with these 2 personas to serve as a cumulative representation of all the common user needs, goals, tasks and pain points from the user interview. By doing this I was able to explore the new opportunities in the domain which were missing in the latest tools.
Competitor Analysis
Identifying the Key competitors and evaluating their strategies to determine their strengths and weaknesses helped me to find some opportunity areas for our tool and weakness.
Prototyping
Wireframing
I had compiled and concluded simple sketches, layouts, features and ideas based on my initial User research I have done. The Ideas were directly presented to the CEO about different solutions and problems on the approach of revamping the User Interface. Due to covid Brainstorming sessions were conducted in Google meet and it was quite challenging.ools.
Digital Prototype
I created Medium fidelity wireframes compiling all the ideas and solutions discussed during the brainstorming session using figma tool. Then these wireframes were presented to the development team via google meet to check the technical feasibility of the features.
High Fidelity Prototype
Based on the wireframe iterations and changes, I further developed a higher fidelity prototype showcasing what the product would look like and function. I used Figma for creating High Fidelity Prototypes.
UI Components Based on Guidelines
Design consistency plays a vital role in the overall user experience of the product. I ensured all the brand assets- Typography, Icons, Colors, Grid system are based on web accessibility Guidelines.
