Automatic Layout Testing

Should your product page show a review carousel, grid, list, or slider? Eevy AI tests them all on your real traffic and picks the winner automatically.

How Automatic Layout Testing Works

Every Shopify store is different. Your audience, your products, your brand aesthetic, and your page layout all influence which review section format converts best. A review carousel might outperform a grid on one store but underperform on another. The only way to know is to test — and most store owners never do because manual testing is tedious and time-consuming.

Eevy AI Automatic Layout Testing removes the guesswork entirely. When you install Eevy AI, you choose which section types you want to make available for testing (e.g., review carousel, review grid, review list, review slider, keyword reviews). The genetic algorithm then tests these different layouts on your real visitors, measuring Revenue Per Visitor for each.

This is not just about the broad layout format. Within each layout type, the algorithm also tests variations in card design, spacing, typography, star display, sorting, pagination, and dozens of other micro-settings. The result is not just "carousel beats grid" — it is "this specific carousel configuration with these exact settings beats everything else for your store." And if that answer changes as your store evolves, the algorithm catches it.

How It Works

1

Select available layouts

Choose which section types the algorithm can test from Eevy AI's 22+ available formats: review carousels, grids, lists, sliders, keyword reviews, highlighted reviews, and more.

2

Traffic allocation

The genetic algorithm distributes your traffic across the selected layouts and their variants. Each visitor sees one layout, and their Revenue Per Visitor is tracked and attributed to that variant.

3

Convergence

Over multiple generations, the algorithm converges on the highest-performing layout and configuration. Underperforming layouts receive less traffic, and winning layouts are refined further.

4

Continuous re-evaluation

The algorithm never fully stops. Even after convergence, a small portion of traffic is allocated to exploration — testing new variants and re-evaluating previous losers in case conditions have changed.

Key Benefits

Tests formats you would never try manually

Most store owners pick one layout and stick with it. Automatic testing means every available format gets a fair shot at proving itself with real traffic data, not assumptions.

Product-page-level granularity

Different products can have different optimal layouts. A high-review product might convert best with a grid, while a new product with few reviews might do better with a highlighted single review. The algorithm can optimize per page.

Micro-optimization within layouts

The algorithm does not just test carousel vs grid. It tests specific configurations within each layout — card padding, star placement, number of visible reviews, arrow style, scroll behavior, and more.

Eliminates the "set and forget" problem

Store owners typically configure their review layout once during setup and never touch it again. Automatic testing ensures your layouts are always optimized, even as your store, products, and traffic change.
