Goh — Location-led social discovery

Goh uses location as a discovery layer rather than a passive map. Nearby activities, categories, profiles, connections, and conversations work together to help users move from finding something relevant to participating and communicating.

01

The product challenge

Location-based discovery becomes fragmented when activities, profiles, social connections, and communication are designed as separate features. The product must preserve context as a user moves from exploring nearby options to interacting with people.

02

The product approach

The mobile experience combines category-led browsing and nearby discovery with user profiles and direct conversations. Location determines relevance, while social and messaging features allow the discovery to continue into participation.
