Key Features of Optimizely Personalization
Create and manage audiences based on multiple data sources—first-party, third-party, events or behavior—in order to target personalised experiences in real-time.
Use a WYSIWYG visual editor with pre-built experience templates (e.g., countdown timers, banners) to design and publish personalised web experiences without code.
Automatically update visitor segments in real-time and deliver personalised experiences via events (clicks, form submissions, pageviews) with fast, flicker-free edge delivery to improve performance and SEO.
Combine personalization campaigns with experimentation via multi-armed bandits, holdback control groups and Optimizely’s Stats Engine to measure ROI, test segmentation, and optimise campaign performance.
Plan and manage campaigns and programs at scale with shared workspaces, version history, approvals, timelines, and integrations with broader optimisation workflows.
Leverage machine-learning algorithms (contextual bandits) and AI assistants (Opal) to dynamically adjust experiences per visitor and guide campaign design, as part of the 2025 roadmap.
