Official destination

An official destination is the seller's own page for the exact product the answer is about, present as a link in the answer. It is the outcome that sends the buyer somewhere they can act; a mention without it sends them wherever the model linked instead.

How it differs from a mention and from a link to the site

  • Mention — the product is named; the buyer still has to find it.
  • Link to the site — the seller's domain is linked, often the home page.
  • Official destination — the link lands on the product's own page.

In our measurements, when a seller's URL was present it pointed at the product page in 643 answers and at another page of the same site in 1,445 (study).
