FAQs
What is ecommerce search?
Ecommerce search is the on-site search functionality that helps shoppers find products within an online store. Unlike general search engines, ecommerce search is designed around product catalogs, categories, attributes, and availability, guiding users toward items they can actually buy.
Is SEO worth it for ecommerce?
Yes, but SEO alone is not enough. SEO brings users to an ecommerce site, but ecommerce site search determines whether those users can quickly find products and complete a purchase. Strong site search improves conversion rates by reducing friction once shoppers land on the store.
How does ecommerce site search improve conversions?
Ecommerce site search improves conversions by helping shoppers find relevant products faster, especially in large catalogs. Users who engage with on-site search typically show higher purchase intent, complete baskets more quickly, and abandon sessions less often when search results are accurate and relevant.
What is the difference between navigation and site search?
Navigation helps users browse predefined categories, while site search helps users directly look for specific products. In large or complex catalogs, navigation alone is not enough. Site search becomes critical when shoppers want fast, direct access to products without browsing multiple category levels.
How can I optimize site search for grocery products?
Grocery site search must handle product variations, weighted items, synonyms, and frequent availability changes. Optimization includes understanding natural language queries, supporting substitutions, recognizing product attributes, and returning relevant results even when searches are incomplete or imprecise.
