Recommendations Analytics
Access to Recommendations Analytics requires Super Admin or Admin permissions in the SearchBlox Admin Console.
Recommendations Analytics gives you a detailed view of how users interact with search recommendations across all your collections. Use it to track which recommendations are driving clicks, understand user behavior patterns, and measure how effectively recommendations are improving search performance.
Recommendation Analytics Dashboard
The Recommendation Analytics section in the Admin page provides a complete report of all recommendation clicks across every collection in SearchBlox. The data is shown in a clear dashboard format and can be exported as CSV or Excel files, or accessed through a downloadable URL.

In the Analytics Dashboard, you can view several recommendation performance metrics:
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Impressions and Clicks | Total number of times recommendations were displayed and clicked |
| Average Click-Through Rate | Percentage of recommendation impressions that resulted in a click |

| Clicks by Position | Shows which position in the recommendation list receives the most clicks |
| Average Session Duration | Average time users spend in a session while interacting with recommendations |

You can customize your analysis by selecting a specific time range using the date range selector at the top of the dashboard.
