ARTS as Extra Metadata
Hypothesis
Surfacing real-time product signals on tiles improves click quality and conversion, making the migration monetization-positive.
Problem / Insight
Product tiles were bare, nothing signalled which products were worth tapping, so every tile looked equally uncompelling and conversion lagged. At the same time, the FB instant experiences migration needed a value-add lever to justify it.
Solution
Real-time signals like Bestseller, Selling fast and Only a few left add social proof and urgency without redesigning the tile. Lightweight metadata, big behavioural nudge.
Role
Looked at ARTS end to end and mapped them, working with a content designer to inventory every signal that already existed. Grouped them into a strategy around the hypothesis we landed on, introduced secondary ARTS and paired them with the primary ones, and worked out placement for each.
Then wrote the principles: when and how a signal shows, and which pairings are allowed.
