CTR Analysis

Further down the Recommendation Impact tab you’ll see the Click-Through-Rate (CTR) Breakdown analytics, as shown below. 

Click Through Rates
Click Through Rates

The visuals show the number of page views that a Recommendation is configured to appear on; and then how many of those page views were actually seen by visitors (i.e., Impressions). Finally, it shows how many page views with impressions resulted in clicks.

Note: A Recommendation is considered to have “appeared on” or “was displayed on” a page if it was loaded and rendered in the visitor’s view while they were on a page that is tracked for analytics. For the engagement to be counted, the page must register a valid page view (i.e., it meets the criteria for a tracked session). This ensures that the recommendation’s impression is only counted when it’s part of a meaningful interaction.

The Second row shows the same logic but for Overall Engagement Time, Engagement Time with Guide and Engagement Time with Concierge.
