User Journey Mapping is the process of visually outlining every step a user takes when interacting with your brand. This includes awareness, consideration, decision-making, and post-purchase behaviors – across digital and offline touchpoints.
Start by identifying your target personas, defining their goals, and outlining each stage of their journey. Use qualitative and quantitative data to map key interactions, emotions, questions, and pain points along the way.
User Journey Mapping = Personas + Stages + Touchpoints + Actions + Emotions + Opportunities

For an ecommerce brand, a typical user journey might start with a Google search, followed by a blog visit, email sign-up, product view, cart abandonment, retargeting ad, and eventual purchase. Mapping this helps you optimize every step.

A good User Journey Map is clear, data-informed, and user-centered. It highlights real touchpoints and pain points while identifying actions to improve customer experience.
A bad User Journey Map is overly generic, lacks user data, or ignores cross-channel complexity. It leads to assumptions, misalignment, and missed optimization opportunities.
Use session recordings, heatmaps, analytics, and customer interviews to validate each stage of the journey.
Document how users feel and what they need at each step. This helps you align messaging, support, and content.
Review and revise your User Journey Maps as your business, users, and product offerings evolve.
