Frequently Asked Questions

A persona is a fictional representation of your ideal customer based on real research. It includes demographics, goals, frustrations, and behaviors — helping teams build empathy and make user-centered decisions.

Typically 2-4 primary personas. More than that dilutes focus. If you have many user types, prioritize the ones that drive the most value or represent your core market.

Segments are groups defined by data (e.g., "enterprise customers"). Personas are narrative characters that bring segments to life with goals, frustrations, and context. Personas help teams empathize; segments help with analysis.

Test personas against real user research. If your persona says users care about X, verify that in interviews. Update personas quarterly as you learn more about your users.
