How to optimize search results?

Google claims that 53% of customers always research before purchasing at any store. Moreover, 30%-60% of shoppers who search on site will convert up to 4 times more (Coveo). Not only should your site’s SEO ranking be high, but you also need to make information on the site easy to be searched for. What you should do is speeding up the search process and giving more relevant results.

1. Upgrade product filtering system

How your product filtering operates will decide how easy your customers can find their desired items. Mageplaza Layered Navigation assists you with outstanding features:

2. Optimize searching tools on FAQ pages
