Keep the ads, lose the noise.

The problem

About 60% of the first viewport of a leading food-delivery app is an ad and two rails; no restaurant is visible until you scroll. Removing the ads would cost real revenue, so the question is how to keep the units and lose the noise around them.

What I proposed

  • Home: six tappable stores above the fold, the sponsored unit kept as one capped, labelled card.
  • Store and menu: fewer rails, one creative per session, search where it belongs.
  • Guardrails: an A/B plan with ad revenue as a guardrail metric, not an afterthought.

What I would flag

  • An independent critique of a public app, not affiliated with the company. Screens are redrawn from the live product.
