Abstract
A system and method to optimize dynamic review generation. A user device associated with a user is selected to provide a review of a merchant. A weighted event factor associated at least a portion of a plurality of websites to which the review can be redirected is identified. Based on the weighted event factor, a first website of the plurality of websites to which to redirect the user device is determined. A dynamic redirection container is transmitted that redirects the client device to the first website, wherein the dynamic redirection container receives a posted review of the merchant at the first website. Based on the posted review associated with the merchant, the weighted event factor is updated.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- identifying, by a processing device of a computing system, a user device associated with a user to provide a review of a merchant;
- identifying, by the computing system, a weighted event factor associated with at least a portion of a plurality of websites to which the review can be redirected;
- determining, by the computing system, based on the weighted event factor, a first website of the plurality of websites to which to redirect the user device;
- transmitting, via a computer network, a dynamic redirection container that redirects the user device to the first website;
- receiving, via the dynamic redirection container from the user device, a posted review of the merchant at the first website;
- updating, based on the posted review associated with the merchant, the weighted event factor;
- and
- receiving, from a merchant system, an adjustment of the weighted event factor associated with at least the portion of the plurality of websites.
A system comprising:
- a memory to store instructions;
- and
- a processing device operatively coupled to the memory, the processing device to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising:
- identifying a user device associated with a user to provide a review of a merchant;
- identifying a weighted event factor associated with at least a portion of a plurality of websites to which the review can be redirected;
- determining, based on the weighted event factor, a first website of the plurality of websites to which to redirect the user device;
- transmitting, via a computer network, a dynamic redirection container that redirects the user device to the first website, wherein the dynamic redirection container receives a posted review of the merchant at the first website;
- updating, based on the posted review associated with the merchant, the weighted event factor;
- and
- receiving, from a merchant system, an adjustment of the weighted event factor associated with at least the portion of the plurality of websites.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:
- identifying a user device associated with a user to provide a review of a merchant;
- identifying a weighted event factor associated with at least a portion of a plurality of websites to which the review can be redirected;
- determining, based on the weighted event factor, a first website of the plurality of websites to which to redirect the user device;
- transmitting, via a computer network, a dynamic redirection container that redirects the user device to the first website, wherein the dynamic redirection container receives a posted review of the merchant at the first website;
- updating, based on the posted review associated with the merchant, the weighted event factor;
- and
- receiving, from a merchant system, an adjustment of the weighted event factor associated with at least the portion of the plurality of websites.
