Auto-Target and Automated Personalization (AP) both leverage the Random Forest Algorithm, but they serve different purposes. Auto-Target is integrated within an A/B testing framework, surpassing traditional A/B testing and Auto Allocate by dynamically determining the optimal experience for each visitor, thus driving maximum optimization. This method ensures that the best possible content or experience is presented to each user to enhance engagement and conversion rates.
On the other hand, Automated Personalization uses the same algorithm to create a more tailored approach, crafting personalized content combinations for every visitor based on their unique profile. This strategy is especially beneficial during the discovery phase of content testing and is adept at addressing the needs of a diverse visitor base. Over time, as it learns from visitor responses, AP improves at predicting and displaying the most effective content to meet your objectives, thus evolving with changes in visitor behavior.
One of the standout features of AP is its capability to operate continuously, known as the "always-on" mode. This eliminates the traditional cycle of running tests, analyzing results, and implementing the winning content. Instead, AP provides ongoing optimization and personalization, leading to sustained improvements without the need for intermittent testing phases, streamlining the process for marketers to achieve optimization gains more seamlessly.
