Best Rank’s eCommerce (BeComm) Site Search:

Having robust site search functionality on your eCommerce website can be crucial in making more sales. Site search is no longer a ‘nice-to-have’ option…it’s a necessity for eCommerce sites. Your website visitors want to find the products they’re looking for quickly and easily.

Deficiencies in site search can not only have a negative impact on conversions and site revenue, but they also harm a company’s brand reputation. Think about how frustrating it can be when you visit a website, enter in a simple search query, and then get “no results found”. Most people will move on to a competitor’s site if they can’t find what they’re looking for easily.

Benefits of BeComm Site Search:

• Increased Conversion Rates
• Increased Average Order Value
• Increased Loyalty
• Searchers can quickly narrow down their selection, which increases the likelihood that they will make a purchase
• Increased Time on Site

Simply provide Best Rank with your SKU information (typically SKU #, product description, price and a URL to a product image) and we do the rest. We then return the search results in an XML or JSON format so that you can integrate the results into your site in a consistent manner. Customers come to your site, enter a search which is sent to our servers and we return the search results back to you.

Pricing starts at $80/month for 10,000 SKU's and 10,000 queries per month. Send us an email or call us for more details and pricing for larger requirements.
