Search and merchandising, on your live catalogue.

Vendably Experience powers on-site search, merchandising, and product discovery, over the same data that runs your ads. One catalogue. One ranking model. One signal loop.

// overview

Discovery that runs on your real product data.

Search, merchandising, and discovery analytics all operate over the same normalised catalogue that powers your ads. No separate index to maintain. No sync lag. When a product changes in DataHub, it changes everywhere.

Search

Powered by your feed.

Typo-tolerant, attribute-aware, synonym-ready. Buyers find what they meant, not just what they typed.

Merchandising

Per-category, per-search, per-customer.

Boost, bury, pin. Rules fire at the category level, the search-term level, or for specific audience segments.

Discovery analytics

Signal back into every capability.

What people searched, what they clicked, what they did not find. Gaps feed back into Content and Intelligence automatically.

Merchandising

Push the right products, when they matter.

Category merchandising lets you define boost, bury, and pin rules scoped to a specific category page: push your margin leaders to the top of 'Outdoor', bury discontinued lines site-wide. Search-term merchandising fires the same rules at the query level: pin a specific SKU whenever someone searches 'gift', or surface new arrivals on branded searches.

Audience-aware rules distinguish returning buyers from first-time visitors so different shoppers see different product surfaces. Scheduled campaigns let you pre-configure a Black Friday hero strip or a seasonal boost window without manual intervention at go-live.

  • Per-category rules: boost, bury, and pin scoped to any category
  • Per-search rules: query-level surface control for any search term
  • Audience pinning: different rankings for new vs. returning buyers
  • Scheduled campaigns: configure time-bounded rule windows in advance

Discovery analytics

What buyers want, before they buy.

Zero-result searches are a direct signal that your catalogue has a gap. Every query that returns nothing is logged, counted, and surfaced in the discovery report so you can act on it: add the product, expand the category, or write a synonym that bridges the gap. Abandoned-after-search journeys show you where buyers looked but did not click.

Query-to-conversion funnels attribute completed purchases back to the search terms that started them, so you know which searches actually drive revenue. Signals feed back automatically: zero-result queries go to Content so missing titles are flagged; missing attributes surface in DataHub as enrichment gaps.

  • Zero-result queries: logged, counted, and surfaced for action
  • Click-through rate: per query, per product, per session
  • Abandoned searches: queries with clicks but no purchase
  • Top conversion queries: searches that actually drive revenue
