Overview: The short of it

PG&E's old marketplace showed products and stopped there. Customers arrived with harder questions. Which upgrade makes sense for my home? What rebates do I qualify for? What will it actually cost?

We rebuilt it as the Energy Action Guide: a platform that starts from the customer's situation, not the product catalog. A journey wizard matches people to programs. A custom CMS means PG&E's team runs it without us in the loop.

Two years in: bounce rate down to a third of the industry average, returning users at more than twice the prior vendor's rate, and over $1.8M in purchases through the Guide. And when the small-business team needed its own tailored experience, the platform gave them one without a rebuild. That's the part we're proudest of.
