Personalization
Useful personalization helps people complete a goal with less effort. It can use profile attributes, lifecycle stage, past behavior, declared preferences, location, or real-time context. Teams should avoid opaque or overly sensitive targeting, provide user control where appropriate, and test whether the experience improves outcomes rather than simply increasing short-term clicks.
What is Personalization?
Personalization adapts content, messaging, recommendations, or product behavior to an individual or segment using known context and data.
Why it matters
Useful personalization helps people complete a goal with less effort. It can use profile attributes, lifecycle stage, past behavior, declared preferences, location, or real-time context. Teams should avoid opaque or overly sensitive targeting, provide user control where appropriate, and test whether the experience improves outcomes rather than simply increasing short-term clicks.
Example
A dashboard shows role-specific templates to a new user based on the use case they selected during setup.
