How to exclude/include pages from showing microexperiences

Pathmonk lets you control exactly where microexperiences appear on your website. This is useful when you want to show Pathmonk only on relevant pages, avoid overlap with existing elements, or exclude pages that don’t need personalization.

You can choose to:

• Show microexperiences on all pages except a few exclusions, or

• Show microexperiences only on selected pages

1. Excluding specific pages (most common scenario)

In most cases, customers allow Pathmonk to run across the entire website and simply exclude a few pages wheremicroxperiences aren’t needed.

To exclude pages:

1. Go to Accelerate Growth (top menu)

2. Navigate to Display

3. In the lower section of the page, keep 'Pathmonk will show' 'On all pages'.

4. Add the subpage or path you want to exclude (e.g., /thank-you, /careers)

5. Repeat for any additional pages

6. Click Save

Common pages to exclude:

• Careers pages (traffic is not conversion-oriented)

• Contact pages (if you prefer users to focus on the form)

• Privacy policy and legal pages

• Pages with embedded calendars or booking tools

• Very high-volume blog posts that attract irrelevant traffic

Excluding these helps maintain a clean user experience without reducing performance in meaningful areas.

2. Showing Pathmonk only on specific pages

If you want Pathmonk to be visible only on a few key pages—e.g., a landing page, a product page, or a pricing page—you can switch to an inclusion-based setup.

To include specific pages:

1. Go to Accelerate Growth (top menu)

2. Navigate to Display

3. In the lower section of the page, choose 'Pathmonk will show' 'Only on selected pages'.

4. Add the subpage or path you want to include

5. Add more pages as needed

6. Click Save

Pathmonk will appear only on the pages you add.

This setup is useful when:

• You’re running a controlled test on a specific funnel

• You have strict design constraints

• You're using microexperiences only for a particular product or service

• You want to start small and expand later

Best practices when deciding what to include or exclude

Choosing where microxperiences appear can have a noticeable impact on performance. Consider the following:

1. Show Pathmonk on as many pages as possible

Generally, broader coverage leads to better results. Pathmonk learns faster with more behavioral data and can support the visitor earlier in the journey.

2. Prioritize pages where visitors need guidance or context

Great pages to include:

• Product or service pages

• Pricing pages

• High-traffic blog posts (use core cards or product-specific cards where relevant)

• Comparison or feature pages

• Home page, especially for first-time visitors

3. Exclude pages where Pathmonk adds little value

• Careers or jobs pages

• Legal and policy pages

• Basic contact pages

• Thank-you pages (these should trigger your tracking goal instead)

4. Think about the visitor journey, not just URLs

Ask: Would a microxperience help a visitor make a better decision here? If yes, leave Pathmonk active.
