Overview
Relevancy Rules
allow an SEO admin user to create rules that help boost the relevancy of
search terms on the site. Here is an example scenario:
There is a company called "The Heat Clinic" that sells hot sauces. The company feels they aren't selling enough of the enough of the higher margin sauces. After some analysis, they discover and that the products customers purchase most are the ones that show up first in their search results.
The [Heat Clinic Scenario] is an example where an SEO admin user can use Relevancy Rules
to
help "boost" the significance of certain products, favoring products that
produce a higher profit margin to be returned at the top of search results list.
