Content Recommendations

Optimizely Content Recommendations automatically generates a personalized content feed for each visitor based on the individual's site activity.

Optimizely Content Recommendations uses natural language processing (NLP) to understand the meaning of each piece of content at a granular level and builds a real-time interest profile for each visitor based on their interactions with the NLP-generated topics. Content Recommendations uses this information to recommend articles, blog posts, or other specified content sections that are most relevant to the visitor's interest profile.
