With the Products Search Advisor enabled you will also have the ability to inject the advisor as a widget throughout the site but with some caveats.

In the example above the advisor has been added to a laundry landing page and displays just the sub departments of Laundy in the first filter. This is achieved using a HTML code element in magento's page builder.

Start with adding a HTML code element to your block or page. Once added, select the image.png icon that appears when hovering over the element. In here you will select image.png and select product advisor from the Widget Type dropdown.
