+<h2 id="best-practices">Best Practices for Recommendations</h2>
+
+<p>Recommendations help users quickly find the content and apps they enjoy. Creating
+recommendations that are high-quality and relevant to users is an important factor in creating a
+great user experience with your TV app. For this reason, you should carefully consider what
+recommendations you present to the user and manage them closely.</p>
+
+<h3 id="types">Types of Recommendations</h3>
+
+<p>When you create recommendations, you should link users back to incomplete viewing activities or
+suggest activities that extend that to related content. Here are some specific type of
+recommendations you should consider:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><strong>Continuation content</strong> recommendations for the next episode for users to resume
+watching a series.</li>
+<li><strong>New content</strong> recommendations, such as for a new first-run episode, if the user
+finished watching another series.
+<li><strong>Related content</strong> recommendations based on the users historic viewing behavior.
+</ul>
+
+<p>For more information on how to design recommendation cards for the best user experience, see
+<a href="https://www.google.com/design/spec-tv/system-overview/recommendation-row.html#recommendation-row-types-of-recommendations"
+class="external-link">Recommendation Row</a> in the Android TV Design Spec.</p>
+
+<h3 id="refreshing">Refreshing Recommendations</h3>
+
+<p>When refreshing recommendations, don't just remove and repost them, because doing so causes
+the recommendations to appear at the end of the recommendations row. Once a content item, such as a
+movie, has been played, <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html#Removing">
+remove it</a> from the recommendations.</p>
+
+<h3 id="customization">Customizing Recommendations</h3>
+
+<p>You can customize recommendation cards to convey branding information, by setting user interface
+elements such as the card's foreground and background image, color, app icon, title, and subtitle.
