Frequently Asked Questions
Onsite search is one of the highest-impact features on an eCommerce site — users who search convert 2–3x more often than those who browse. Studies show that optimizing onsite search can increase conversion rates by up to 43%. Despite this, many businesses treat search as an afterthought. A well-tuned search experience helps customers find what they need faster, drives higher engagement and revenue, and reduces search-related support requests.

Our Algolia search maintenance and optimization service covers four key areas: discovery (identifying your goals, pain points, and success metrics with a dedicated point of contact), search relevance tuning (improving the quality and accuracy of results), analytics and performance monitoring (tracking how search is performing and where it’s falling short), and ongoing maintenance and support (keeping your Algolia implementation running at peak performance). We don’t just set it up and walk away — we use search data as a feedback loop to continuously improve the experience.
There are several telltale signs: high rates of “no results” queries, customers using Google to search for products you know you carry (you can spot this in Search Console), low click-through rates on search results, and frequent search-related support requests. If users are outgrowing your onsite search experience, they’ll quietly leave — or worse, go to a competitor. Our optimization service starts with an analytics review to identify exactly where your search is falling short and what improvements will have the biggest impact.
