How To Increase User Willingness
01 | Create User Reach

By analyzing these dimensions, effectively assess user preferences based on their previous searches or bets. Optimize the placement and hierarchy of activity banners and recommendation information on the homepage and search pages. This will provide users with a more flexible and comprehensive list of events, reduce search and browsing costs, and stimulate user engagement.

Design goal: For goal-oriented users, provide quick access to relevant information while retaining user habits. For users without specific goals, add quick access to shorten user paths and increase exposure to trending events
01 | Positioning & Search Functionality
For users with unclear goals, offer an immersive browsing experience with a dedicated section for popular events. Refine recommendations using filters and dynamically update events to drive conversions. Tailor event suggestions based on user data and adjust market values on the homepage to boost conversion rates.
02 | Popular Matchup List
For users without specific goals: Provide event recommendations and optimize sorting to help users discover interesting events through featured recommendations. Popular event suggestions should also guide users to explore further on the sports pages.
