With Search Merchandising you can enhance WooCommerce search, the marketing within search results and increase conversions. Learn what your customers are searching for in product search results. The plugin builds a list of search terms customers have searched for and you can display specific marketing or informative content, boost specific products or even redirect search terms to help your customers find what they’re looking for more efficiently. Search Merchandising gives you full visibility and control over product searches on your WooCommerce website. Great features for marketing and conversions
