How does it work?

Part`s item number and brand name are transferred to the page of your website in url.
На большинстве сайтов в качестве страницы приземления - подходят страницы результатов поиска по артикулу.

Landing page

It is usually a page of your website which you may see after you have finished searching a spare part at your website by its product item.
Part`s item number and manufacturer`s name are transferred to the page of your website in url.
When setting up your landing page, it is necessary to change part`s brand name and its item number to the following values:

When a customer has selected the part he needs in one of your catalogs, then he will be redirected to the page that has been specified by you.
*part_number* and *brend* values on this page will be replaced by selected part`s brand name and its item number, accordingly
