Analyzed competitor reputation management SaaS platforms and their UX gaps
GoodReviews —
reputation, redefined.
One unified design language — scaled across 24 industries and an entire SaaS activation journey.
Problem statement & business goals
In a world where a single review can make or break a business, companies needed more than a dashboard — they needed an omnichannel reputation platform that could listen, respond, and grow across every industry vertical.
Problems identified
Business goals
- Build one unified design system scalable across all industry verticals
- Drive measurable engagement and conversion growth across marketing pages
- Create frictionless SaaS paths from discovery through subscription and payment
- Deliver omnichannel review management from acquisition to daily use
My role: Lead UI/UX Designer — owned the full frontend experience, design system, 24 industry landing pages, and end-to-end SaaS activation flows.
Understanding the reputation SaaS gap
Research before pixels — analyzing competitor platforms, interviewing SMB owners, and mapping the full subscription lifecycle.
Interviewed SMB owners across restaurants, healthcare, real estate, and local services
Mapped the end-to-end journey from landing page through subscription and daily use
Identified modular template architecture needed to scale 24 industry verticals
Key insightBusinesses don't need another generic dashboard — they need industry-specific experiences that still feel like one cohesive, trustworthy product.
One system, infinite verticals
I designed the entire frontend experience from the ground up — establishing a design system first, then building modular page templates that could adapt to any industry without reinventing the wheel.
Core SaaS flows — homepage, login, pricing, subscription, and payment gateway — became the product backbone. Industry landing pages followed a repeatable structure: hero, value propositions, social proof, and conversion CTAs — customized per vertical while sharing one interaction language.
Design goals & success metrics
Every design decision tied to measurable outcomes — consistency at scale, conversion through clarity, and engagement across every vertical.
