Step-by-step guide to creating and configuring PureClarity zones for personalized content placement across your website
Creating zones in PureClarity enables you to define specific areas on your website where personalized content, recommendations, and campaigns will appear. Proper zone setup is essential for effective personalization deployment.
Zones act as containers for your personalized content, requiring both configuration in PureClarity and implementation in your website’s HTML structure.
Navigate to Settings > Zones to access the zone configuration interface where you can create, edit, and manage all your personalization zones.The zone management dashboard provides:
Overview of existing zones: Complete list of configured zones
Zone performance metrics: Usage and effectiveness data
Configuration tools: Add, edit, delete, and organize zones
Implementation guidance: Technical details for website integration
Use consistent naming conventions across your organization
Include page type and position for clarity
Reference ID: Assign a unique technical identifier for implementation
Homepage zones: HP-01, HP-02, HP-03, etc.
Product page zones: PP-01, PP-02, etc.
Mobile-specific zones: HPM-01, PPM-01, etc.
Category page zones: CP-01, CP-02, etc.
Use systematic reference ID patterns that make it easy for developers to understand zone placement and purpose. Consider including device type indicators (M for mobile, D for desktop) when needed.
