Recommend analytics offer insights into how your users interact with your recommendations,
through [metrics](/doc/guides/algolia-recommend/analytics/metrics) such as popular recommendations, click-through and conversion rates.

If you are familiar with [Search analytics](/doc/guides/search-analytics/overview), you will find that many of the concepts and metrics are similar.

## Recommend analytics in the Algolia dashboard

You can access your Recommend analytics in the Algolia dashboard:

1. Go to the [Algolia dashboard](https://dashboard.algolia.com/explorer/browse) and select your Algolia <Application />.
2. On the left sidebar, select <AlgoliaRecommend /> **Recommend** and go to [**Analytics**](https://dashboard.algolia.com/recommend/analytics).
3. If you want to [segment the analytics by tags](/doc/guides/search-analytics/guides/segments),
   click <Icon icon="filter" /> **Toggle Analytics Tags**.
   Select or enter a tag for filtering.

### Comparison mode

To compare the performance of your [metrics](/doc/guides/algolia-recommend/analytics/metrics) between different periods,
click **Comparison mode** and select the date ranges you want to compare.

The current date range is labeled **A** in the metrics graphs and uses a solid line.
The comparison date range is labeled with **B** and uses dashes.

You can compare analytics from different days, weeks, months, or use custom time ranges.

You can also compare analytics data using different [analytics tags](/doc/guides/search-analytics/guides/segments).

### Export analytics data

To export any of the [metrics](/doc/guides/algolia-recommend/analytics/metrics) from the Algolia dashboard,
click <Icon icon="download" /> **Download**.
You can export and download your analytics data as CSV or XLSX files.

## Click, conversion, and revenue analytics

Some [metrics](/doc/guides/algolia-recommend/analytics/metrics),
such as the conversion rate, need [events](/doc/guides/sending-events) from your app or website.

Graphs and tables that involve these metrics won't display data until you start sending events.

Add-to-cart and purchase metrics are part of the Revenue Analytics feature.
