Enable performance measurement for Aqurate Personalize

Learn what needs to be done in order to accurately measure the performance of the product recommendations on your website.

If you decided to measure the performance of your Aqurate Personalize and want a deeper overview, in this article you’ll learn how to set up granular tracking, directly in Aqurate.

How it works

To correctly "tag" the widgets containing recommendations, you must either:

• ⚓ Anchors option - add specific data attributes to the HTML elements within which the product recommendation widgets are rendered
• 🔗 UTM option - add specific UTMs on all links pointing towards recommended products

Once the widget is tagged correctly, the Aqurate Pixel will track all interactions with the widget, including clicks and purchases. This will provide you with granular insights into the performance of your Aqurate Personalize recommendations, allowing you to fine-tune your strategy and improve your results.

⚓ Anchors option

Naming convention

The widgets containing Aqurate recommendations need to have HTML anchor classes (the <a> elements) added as per the naming convention below.

The format is the following:

.aqurate-personalize

Detailed measurement

In order to get a detailed view of which widgets have the most impact on your visitors journey, you can add the following classes to the anchors in the widgets:

 

Widget location

The format is the following:

.aqurate-location-[location]

The valid entries for locations are the following:

Valid examples:

.aqurate-location-pdp
.aqurate-location-cartpop

 

Widget content

The format is the following:

.aqurate-endpoint-[endpoint]
