Update SEO optimised content without needing to refresh the page
Currently, when you add a filter option within a PLP, the child page retains all SEO aspects of the parent page. For example: https://www.myEcommerceSite.com/parent-category Becomes the following when you select a filter option: https://www.myEcommerceSite.com/parent-category/child-filter1 However https://www.myEcommerceSite.com/parent-category/child-filter1 retains the h1, intro text, SEO title, meta description and canonical of the parent. To get around this, https://cloudmt.citruslime.com/#/facet-navigation/seo allows you to define https://www.myEcommerceSite.com/parent-category/child-filter1 as a page in its own right via the "Add row" feature at the bottom of the "Advanced Filter SEO" page. For the most part, this then works as expected in that https://www.myEcommerceSite.com/parent-category/child-filter1 can be given its own h1, intro text, meta, canonical etc. .... except there's one small gitch. Even though that page exists, if a user goes via the route of visiting https://www.myEcommerceSite.com/parent-category and then selecting the child-filter1 option, the site initially persist with inheriting data from the parent, and ignores the fact that custom info now exists for that page, even though it has changed the URL to https://www.myEcommerceSite.com/parent-category/child-filter1 . Only when you refresh the page does it pull in the correct info. Notes: Initially I wondered if it was a caching issue, but forcing a refresh, and clearing the cache, didn't resolve the issue. I also tested via a totally different device and the issue persisted, so it's not a browser caching issue. I did raise with the support team and in case it was a site caching issue at server level but they suggested I file a new feature request here. Ideally the content should change dynamically, without a need to reload the page (as currently happens for the products themselves) - so perhaps using Ajax or similar. As a result of the above bug, there's a risk that Google won't know what content to use as the same URL now exists with 2 sets of data. Worse still, Google could think it's an attempt at masking content which could get a site banned. This is a major problem/risk, so can you please investigate a fix ASAP. Thanks

SalesFire Vs Mailchimp
Hello all, I've moved from Mailchimp to SalesFire, initially for the better search but i've started using their email/sms, overlays and recommendations. Which have been working really well for us. The emails in Salesfire were a bit naff and are still fairly basic compared to hubspot and mailchimp but their more recent changes seem to take care of everything we have time to make use of; Segments, Automated campaigns, recommendations and manual products... etc etc. I'm hoping better control over inactive audiences is next, and the ability to show customers current rewards balance... Get to the point i hear you cry! ...I'm just wondering, as i see a lot of you use salesfire to some extent, are you still using Mailchimp for emails or have you started using SalesFire? And what your thoughts are? As I get the impression that CL might decide to forge on or partner up with just the one newsletter provider. So could be worth having a discussion. We've not had the best of times with Mailchimp, although the ability to spend hours on a fantastic design is nice, we found it to be a bit glitchy when you tried things like purchase triggers.... and their customer service could never be mistaken for customer care... I call scottish power afterwards just to cheer myself up. The way our facet nav is structured, or the feed that's provided, is holding us back a little bit in the segmentation. Being too broad ie "clothing" or too narrow "specific item" to be able to target specific groups with remarketing campaigns like... Nikwax to everyone that's bought a waterproof jacket in the last 6 months. Might be nice to partner up with another uk based company. Would also be nice to get a little more influence over all the other various emails that get fired out.... notify me, rewards, orders, click and collects, passwords, logins etc etc. Just so we can make sure they all have the same branding/styling. Even if it's just set a light colour, dark colour and logo, editable text field and fire a test email to ensure it's legible.
