LikeCube offers cutting edge solutions and exceptional expertise in personalisation. We give sites the opportunity to turn search into recommendations, increasing site loyalty, trust and value. Growing out of a demand in the leisure industry, LikeCube delivers recommendations based on similarity of product and similarity of user. Our solutions can:

• Personalise and filter content – frontlining positive user reviews, delivering relevance
• Display similar items – guaranteeing better access to your full catalogue
• Provide explanations for recommendations – building trust and user retention
• Display similar users – increasing loyalty and building social networking
• Provide UGC data intelligence – offering more to business customers
• Deliver highly targeted advertisement and brand related opportunities

For the travel and leisure sites, LikeCube can answer questions such as “where should I go, which restaurant will I like, what shop is for me, etc” and “who’s similar to me, who should I trust, which reviews should I read”. Users of LikeCube rated the recommendation features as “quite spooky”, “not really seen anything as good elsewhere” or “bang on the money”
