Safety Ratings On Cars24 New Cars

This is one of the many things I have worked on in my internship at Cars24, that helped boost organic traffic on the New Cars website.

"the top two features influencing customer car purchase decisions in India were crash ratings and the number of airbags. One of the most popular attributes, fuel efficiency, came in third."

Basically, crash safety ratings are important to car buyers, and therefore essential for our website's overall experience

First, let's understand what our goals for the project looked like:

Increased site traffic

Increase in the no. of organic clicks.

Increased conversions

A U2L of >4% should indicate high intent

Happy users

positive feedback and user satisfaction

Understanding crash tests and ratings…

I studied basic structure of the two crash safety reports that certify indian car's safety ratings: Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP.

Understanding user needs…

Also we tried to understand these from the lens of the car buyer-what kind of information was needed by the user specifically, and what would be geeking out too much. These are people's responses

Here's what the users usually look for in safety, before the purchase decision.

Crash Ratings

Just the ratings, no analytical details.

Safety Equipment

Availability of ABS and airbags.

Strong Build

The physical strength of the car body.

So combining the business goals with user goals…

… how might we build an engaging and satisying "safety ratings" page that provides all the necessary information clearly and transparently?

So combining the business goals with user goals…

Building the final layout…

So I built a flow of information for the user, keeping the goal in mind..

So combining the business goals with user goals…

Then built a wireframe

And, edited a few things, post-feedback

Presenting the final solution…

Presenting the final solution…

Here's a demo of the dashboard. ( if it's not already playing, try using the controls at the bottom.)

Presenting the final solution…

Right below the first fold, I added the key analysis, but also an influencer review widget that we have, to make the page more engaging.

Similarly added a section for each crash test video (parts of the bigger video), to make it more consumable.

Right below that I added the key safety feature widget, with a seperate widget for ADAS

and since the full design isn't live yet, here's the figma prototype to the final design ( the password is "heythere!!" )

These are the results of this project, right now, without the full release. These are stats for keyword search data for 3 months, after release.

6.1% increase in clicks

5.7% of all clicks come from safety page.

Increased conversions

Recieved 300 leads (4.05% U2L)

Happy users

Only positive words in testing, 3.85% CTR
