The "click-to-rank" functionality gives results that have been selected and clicked on particularly frequently by visitors a higher relevance in future search queries. Thanks to AI and Knowledge Graph, the automobile manufacturer has a wide range of options for targeting the right content to the visitors of bmw.com and thus optimally guiding them in their product selection. Visitors to the website, in turn, benefit from content and offers that are precisely tailored to their wishes.
