Questions about content
What happens if no content is found for a page?
The embeddable widgets will not display display if no content is found for the current page - this way, your website visitors will never see an empty widget.
What topics are shown in the embeddable widgets and how are they ordered?
When the widgets load on a page, we automatically run a search query using the title of the page to show a list of topic suggestions. You can configure some basic optimisation of this search in Control.
Topics that are never shown in the automatic search:
- Trashed topics
- Spam topics
- Unanswered questions
Results are ordered by relevance: our search algorithm ranks topics with best answers higher than other topic types; a high number of views positively influences a topic's ranking, and the date since publication / date since last active negatively influence a topic's ranking.
You can also 'pin' specific topics to specific pages and disable the automatic topic suggestions.
Questions about data
Can I get data about my website visitors' interactions with the widgets?
