Enhance Optimizely Experiments with Gender Data
The Ultimate Personalization Tool
Optimizely is a leading experimentation and personalization platform that enables businesses to test, optimize, and deliver superior digital experiences to their customers. By integrating Gender-API, you can enrich user profiles with gender data to create more targeted experiments, personalized content variations, and segmented A/B tests.
This demographic enrichment enables data-driven decisions about which experiences resonate best with different audience segments, ultimately improving conversion rates and user engagement across your digital properties. Whether you are running complex multi-variate tests or simple A/B experiments, knowing your audience demographics unlocks deeper insights.
Why Integrate Gender-API with Optimizely?
Personalization is key to modern digital experiences. A one-size-fits-all approach no longer works. By adding gender data to your Optimizely experiments, you can:
- Enhanced Personalization: Create gender-specific content variations for better relevance and higher engagement.
- Advanced Audience Segmentation: Build precise audience segments for targeted experiments using custom user attributes.
- Improved A/B Testing: Test gender-specific hypotheses with properly segmented audiences to find what truly works.
- Data-Driven Decisions: Base optimization strategies on granular demographic performance data rather than assumptions.
How It Works
The integration enriches Optimizely user profiles with gender data through Zapier or direct API integration.
1. Capture & Analyze
When a new contact is added to Optimizely or when users interact with your platform, their name data is sent to Gender-API for instant analysis.
2. Enrich & Personalize
The gender information is stored as a custom attribute in Optimizely, making it immediately available for audience targeting, experiment segmentation, and personalization rules.
Use Cases

- Content Publishers: Personalize article recommendations.
- SaaS Platforms: Optimize onboarding flows for segments.
- Travel: Personalize destination packages.
