Shoppers often have a difficult time thinking of the best way to search for products on an online store. They don’t know how much detail, how many words, which words, or what order the words should go in. Additionally, shoppers that are new to a store might not be familiar with all of products carried and could use help familiarizing themselves with the store by exploring what most people search for.
Our Popular Searches in AutoComplete works to help guide your shoppers to a more solid path to conversion. When a shopper clicks into the search box, we provide a list of the store’s top most popular search queries from the past 90 days. The shopper can select a suggestion from this list, or begin typing as usual.
What are the benefits?
Showing popular queries brings a more solid path to higher conversion rates by giving shoppers an idea of the best practices of search patterns on a store, which aids them in finding what they need with a better chance of good relevancy.
It lowers exit rates by offering new shoppers another avenue to explore the most popular content on the site, and giving hesitant shoppers who have drawn a blank an idea of what to look for.
Additionally, this results in more consistent shopper searching patterns, which allows merchants to focus on merchandising fewer pages – this in turn makes for higher merchant workplace efficiency.
What determines popular searches?
We use the popular search data from your site to power these suggestions.
- What shoppers look for: Popular searches are based on the actual search queries made by your shoppers over the last 90 days. We only count one query per shopper per day, so if one shopper searches for "white dress" 100 times in a day, it will still only count once for that shopper.
- Zero results: Searches that returned zero results anytime in the past 24 hours are removed.
