To adjust the score for each element you must log in to the SiteImprove administration module.

Within this section there is the possibility to indicate how each element should be weighted when the overall relevance score is calculated.
In each case a score will be calculated automatically on the presence of the search term’s presence and frequency. In addition you can specify an additional score that will be awarded if the search term is found in searchable element.
The adjustments take effect on search results immediately, so you can continuously follow how adjustments to the different components affect search results.
