Daily Optimization Runs Automatically

Every day at 6 AM UTC, the optimizer analyzes your catalog, classifies products by margin tier, suppresses low-margin items, and auto-tunes the margin signal weight.

Track Impact with Margin Snapshots

Daily snapshots track products above target, products suppressed, average recommendation margin, and estimated profit impact. See the optimization working over time.

The Case for Profit-Aware Product Recommendations

Most product recommendation systems optimize for engagement metrics — clicks, add-to-carts, and purchases. They treat a $10 product with 5% margin identically to a $10 product with 45% margin. The result is that recommendation engines often push stores toward their least profitable products, simply because those products happen to have higher click rates or co-purchase frequencies.

SellerZoom's margin profiles introduce profit awareness into the recommendation algorithm. By automatically adjusting the weight given to margin data, the system shifts recommendation rankings toward higher-profit products without sacrificing relevance or shopper experience.

Conservative vs. Aggressive: Choosing the Right Profile

The Conservative profile is designed for stores that are performing well and don't want to rock the boat. It uses a low boost factor (15%) and generous bestseller protection (30+ units/month threshold), meaning high-velocity products are never suppressed even if their margins are below the minimum. This gentle approach typically improves average recommendation margin by 5-10% without any visible change to the shopping experience.

The Aggressive Growth profile is for stores ready to optimize harder. With a 40% boost factor and a high bestseller threshold (100+/month), only true top sellers are protected. This profile will suppress more low-margin products and push the margin signal weight significantly higher. The trade-off is a possible short-term dip in click rates as the recommendation mix shifts — but the profit-per-click increase more than compensates.

When to Use Liquidation Mode

End-of-season clearance is the classic use case. When you have excess inventory that needs to move before new stock arrives, Liquidation Mode removes all margin-based suppression and boosts overstocked items regardless of their margin. The goal shifts from profit optimization to inventory velocity. Switch back to Conservative or Aggressive Growth once the clearance period ends.
