Rate #

The rate is calculated as a percent of the price at which the customer bought a product after all discounts had been applied and bonus points withdrawn. You define the rate for each product individually. To raise the product in the search results, increase the order rate.

To promote a product, set a minimum rate. It’s determined by product category and subcategory. You’ll see the current minimum rate when setting up a promotion in your personal account.

Minimum rates for promoting products of different categories

Rates promote the product in all search queries. To set a rate for one product:

  1. Go to the Promotion → Promotion in search section.
  2. On the campaign page, click the rate of the selected product, specify a new value, and select Apply.

The view forecast is approximate, its value is influenced by:

  • rates of other sellers;
  • adding new products to the promotion in search;
  • current product rating;
  • product prices.

To set a total rate for a product group:

  1. Go to the Promotion → Promotion in search section.
  2. On the campaign page, select the necessary positions and click Set a rate.
  3. Select Set value, specify the rate for the product group, and click Apply.

Competitive rate #

The system calculates a competitive rate: the recommended rate value per order. This value helps to understand what rate other sellers are placing in one category.

Competitive rate value is calculated as the average value of all rates for any product.

To set a competitive rate for a product group:

  1. Go to the Promotion → Promotion in search section.
  2. On the campaign page, select the necessary positions and click Set a rate.
  3. Select Competitive rate and click Apply.

Visibility index #

The visibility index displays the search results or catalog page where a product was most frequently shown over the previous 24 hours. For example, if index — 1, customers more often saw the product on the first page of the search results or catalog. If it’s further than the 10th page, the visibility index will show the 10+ value.

When calculating the index, the system uses only product views when sorting by popularity, without taking into account other filters.

Product position in search, catalog, or the display frequency in recommendations may differ for various search queries and customers.

Metrics panel #

The metrics panel is in the PromotionPromotion in search section and displays the following metrics:

  • Orders: the number of items purchased during the period.
