Hi Team,
I have a client for which geomodifier/keyword search is being usurped by the links vertical. Example below, “b____ creek” (white labeled for client privacy) is the geomodifier for a restaurant, as well as stored as a keyword for the entity, but is not showing up at all. In addition, the restaurant vertical is not returned at all.
Any idea why this would be the case/how I can work to fix this issue?
Best,
Luc
Hi Luc,
When I look at the API call for this search, the algorithm is applying a filter to Brier, Washington, instead of the intended Brier Creek, North Carolina. There are no locations near there and so it is returning only the Links vertical as a fallback. There are two things you can do here:
Switch the geomodifier field to use an nlpFilter instead so that there will be a stronger search for the field.
It looks like the locations for this account are all located in North and South Carolina. You can add a bounding box around these locations to limit the algorithm to only search that regional area.
Hope this helps! If you are still seeing location search issues, we can look into it further.
Hey Kristy,
The bounding box did the trick! Thank you! This helped eliminate the links vertical as the stronger contender…
Greatly appreciate your input.
