Thanks for joining us today @ryanr7 @drewb6915421 @bkostak @msamaniego ! The question below was posted by ben_mrm:

 

Looking for some support/insight from anyone that has utilized the Auto-Target feature within an A/B test. My test has been running for quite some time and I've reached the necessarily visitors and conversions levels needed for my algorithms to begin learning, 1,000 visits and 50 conversions (7,000 overall visits and 350 overall conversions) as I understand them. However, my reporting is still stating that the models have not been built yet - as indicated by the clock icon still next to my experiences. I'm also not seeing the Important Attributes report nor the Automated segment reports that are supposed to come along with this tool....presumably because the models are still being indicated as not finalize yet? 

This test has been running for over 80 days and it seems to be collecting the right information, but no models and no reports yet, any ideas? Are the experiences just too similar for the AI to pick up anything and create a model from? Appreciate any thoughts or comments!

Hi @benmu6

There can be cases where your models build but are valid. This could be because of a few things.

  1. The experiences perform very similar to each other in general, too close to statistically confirm one group is performance better on one than the other.
  2. The optimizing metric needs 50 conversions per experience so if you have 350 in the activity you probably have 50 in each experience, but worth checking that.
  3. Lack of meaningful features/attributes - if you are not passing any custom attributes into Target and it's only using out of the box items it may not be getting good enough "signals" to know when a person would prefer one or the other.

How efficient is it to use audience segmentation through 3rd party tool? We use ABM account and I want to use the segments build in that ABM account as the audience in the target (we have integration set up already via launch) but not sure how efficiently it will work?

@jyotisharmav we have many companies who do this, and you can set how often these audience segments should be updated through customer attributes or bulk profile upload via api.

How can we pull category affinity into Analytics? This could be beneficial for product-based B2B companies to understand affinity users and target them with personalized experience.

Adobe Employee

Are you thinking you'd like to breakdown a report in AA by a visitor's category affinity preference?

In theory you could pass the value in a response token and then client side have Analytics pick it up in an evar.

It is said that you have to create a feed to feed data to recommendation activity in target. But it has a step where you have to provide a URL link. What is that? How to create that URL path whether it's via csv, google, or analytics? 

Adobe Employee

@jyotisharmav The URL you’re asked to provide is the location of the data source for your feed. This could be a CSV file, Google product Search feed

That's what I am asking. If I have the csv feed ready with me on my local desktop. Then do I need to upload it somewhere or anything else to provide path?

Can we have a separate event or webinar on recommendation activity as a topic as this is a big challenge and the most demanding thing which everyone can achieve via Target @amelia_waliany

Thanks for joining us today @Ryan_Roberts_ @Drburns27 @bkostak @msamaniego ! The question below was posted during the 1/16/24 Webinar by @zvoidz :

 

What is the SEO impact if offers/experiences have various focus and do not necessarily align with the default keyword focus on the page? Thanks!

Adobe Employee
February 7, 2024

@amelia_waliany et al., SEO is not impacted with differing experience variations within a test or activity with a limited life span, especially when using our most common client-side implementation, as it's based on the default content.  The experience variations are content that is delivered as a layer above the page.  The only way that SEO would be impacted is with an "always-on" personalization activity leveraging AI where there isn't a fixed horizon, especially if you're leveraging a server-side or hybrid deployment of Target.
