# Introduction to Website Recommendations

### What is the implementation process?

Raptor’s personalized website modules show each visitor the products and content most relevant to them. This guide walks you through the six steps from a new account to live modules, in the order we recommend.

You work in two places:

- **The Raptor Control Panel**: where you set up your data, and activate and test modules.
- **Your website**: where you add the tracking script and display the recommendations.

🔍 **Note**: Want an overview of what Website Recommendations can do first? See [Introduction to Website Recommendations](https://content.raptorservices.com/help-center/introduction-to-website-recommendations?hsLang=en).

 

### Recommendation strategies

A module is a recommendation strategy placed on a specific page, for example "Similar items" on the product page. Raptor offers 24 pre-built strategies. See [Recommendation strategies: the right products for every visitor](https://content.raptorservices.com/help-center/recommendation-strategies-the-right-products-for-every-visitor?hsLang=en) to find the right ones for each page.

### Tracking

Tracking is what Raptor learns from. Add the tracking script to your website and send the default events: **Visit**, **Basket**, **Buy** and **ItemClick**, plus **ContentVisit** if you use content modules.  See [Introduction to Raptor Tracking.](https://content.raptorservices.com/help-center/introduction-to-raptor-tracking?hsLang=en)

Turn on your modules once tracking is in place. With live tracking only, modules need about a week of data before they perform well. Upload [*historical purchase data*](https://content.raptorservices.com/help-center/tools/datamanager/orderline-schema?hsLang=en) to get started right away.

### Feeds

A product catalog feed keeps product names, prices, images and links up to date, and lets Raptor leave out products that are no longer available. Feeds are set up in the **Data Manager**. See [*Setting up a Product Catalog for Recommendation Engine*](https://content.raptorservices.com/help-center/tools/datamanager/product-catalog?hsLang=en).

### Implementing Raptor Recommendations on your website

You fetch recommendations by calling the Raptor API from your website, in any programming language. Raptor returns the recommendations as data, not as a finished design, so you style the modules yourself to match your website. See *Calling the Raptor API*.

### Tuning parameters

Every module can be adjusted in the Control Panel, for example by changing weights, filtering out products or boosting selected items. See [*Module adjustment and tuning*](https://content.raptorservices.com/help-center/module-adjustment-and-tuning?hsLang=en).

### Know your business model

The right setup depends on how your customers shop.

- **B2C:** focus on personal offers, larger baskets and trending products.
- **B2B:** customers often come back to buy the same products. Highlight frequently purchased items, and introduce products they haven't discovered yet.
- **Content-heavy sites:** combine content and product modules, for example products featured in an article, or articles related to a product.

See [*Best practice: where to place your modules*](https://content.raptorservices.com/help-center/best-practice-where-to-place-your-modules?hsLang=en) for example setups. Read more in [*Know your business model: B2C, B2B and content sites*](https://content.raptorservices.com/help-center/know-your-business-model-b2c-b2b-and-content-sites?hsLang=en).
