Internal search analytics

Read what shoppers search forEvery zero-result query is a gap.

Your shoppers tell you exactly what they want every time they use your search bar. WISEPIM captures those signals, queries, zero results, click-through and conversion, and turns them into a prioritised list of catalog improvements.

Why it matters

Your search bar is honest feedback

When a shopper types a query into your search bar, they are telling you in plain language exactly what they want to buy. A zero-result page is not just a dead end, it is a direct signal that either a product does not exist in your catalog or that it exists but is described so poorly that search cannot find it.

WISEPIM collects your on-site search events and surfaces the patterns that matter: which queries drive sales, which return no results and which see high click-through but low conversion, meaning shoppers find the product but something in the listing stops them from buying.

Because site search analytics sits next to your product content scores, every zero-result query or low-conversion term links directly to the catalog gap or the weak listing that is causing it, so you can act on the insight in the same session.

How it works

How to read your search log

From raw search events to a catalog fix list in four steps.

  1. Connect your search data

    Link your GA4 property or on-site search integration. WISEPIM imports search queries, click-through events and conversions automatically.

  2. Identify zero-result queries

    Filter the query list to show only searches that returned no results. Each one is a gap in your catalog or your synonym dictionary.

  3. Check CTR and search-to-conversion rate

    Find queries with high volume but low conversion, these are products shoppers find but do not buy, signalling a content or pricing issue.

  4. Fix the catalog and measure impact

    Add missing products, enrich descriptions to match search intent, update synonyms and track whether conversion improves on the next comparison period.

A zero-result query is a search term that returns no products in your store. It can mean the product is missing from your catalog, or that it exists but its title, description or tags do not match how shoppers describe it.

The search-to-conversion rate is the percentage of site searches that result in a purchase. It measures how well your internal search turns intent into sales, and is one of the clearest signals of catalog and search health.
