Recommendations metrics

Recommendations metrics measure the recommendations themselves: how often they are shown and how often visitors click them. What they lead to in the cart and in orders is in the commerce metrics (attributed revenue, attributed units added to cart).

Break them down by recommendation placement to compare the product page, cart, collection and home page blocks, or the slots your own site defines.

recommendation_shown_count

How many times a recommendation block was shown to a visitor.

How it’s counted: the number of recommendation shown events. One block shown once counts once, however many items it holds.

recommendation_click_count

How many times visitors clicked a recommended item.

How it’s counted: the number of clicks that carry a recommendation.

recommendation_ctr

The share of recommendation blocks shown that got at least one click, between 0 and 1.

How it’s counted: distinct blocks shown that were clicked, divided by blocks shown. A block clicked twice counts once, so the rate never goes above 1.
