CUSTOMER SEGMENT RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Understand the audience behind a product without profiling individuals.

For an approved company website and marketing question, review a bounded set of public pages and prepare hypotheses about broad customer needs, challenges, and communication preferences. Keep conclusions tied to source material, avoid claims about specific people or sensitive traits, and have a researcher validate the findings before using them in advertising or product decisions.

The handoff

A source-linked research brief of possible customer needs, with assumptions and review notes.

Keep in mind

A company’s own website is not evidence of every customer’s behavior or preferences. Keep conclusions general and provisional, distinguish observed statements from hypotheses, avoid sensitive targeting, and validate segment assumptions with appropriate research before campaign or product decisions.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define an appropriate business purpose

Choose a research question and exclude sensitive or discriminatory targeting.

Limit pages and data collected

Respect source terms and use only public company information needed for the question.

Label hypotheses and source evidence

Keep links and distinguish observed language from inferred audience needs.

Assign market research review

Name who validates segment hypotheses before marketing or product use.
