How does page action hierarchy determine which page action to use?

The page action hierarchy operates by matching the most specific page first, which ensures that the actions taken are tailored to the individual content of the page the visitor is interacting with. This specificity allows for a more refined control over user engagement, as it prioritizes the most relevant actions for the actual page context rather than making generalizations based on broader classifications.

For example, if there are multiple page actions defined, one for a specific product page and another for a category page, the system will prioritize the action associated with the product page because it is the most specific. This method enhances the relevance and effectiveness of the engagement strategies employed, leading to a better user experience and more targeted interactions.

Other approaches, such as priority assignment or matching the longest URL, do not necessarily ensure that the most relevant context is used. Meanwhile, relying on visitor demographics, while potentially useful in certain strategies, does not play a role in the immediate decision-making process regarding which specific page action should be applied. This highlights the importance of specificity over generalization when determining page actions.
