Boost product discovery through search results and category pages with AI-powered Search Merchandising
Searchandising (from “search merchandising”) with Eureka means brands can now leverage AI to tailor search results, highlight the most relevant products based on shopper intent, and customize and organize search results to meet business goals via criteria or rules.
These updates will help marketers make well-informed decisions based on available product inventory by promoting excess stock products or deprioritizing products that are low- or out-of-stock. Brands can adapt to seasonal changes faster by promoting products for shorter periods and then quickly disabling the defined rules, promoting the most popular and in-demand brands to increase revenues quickly, or promoting new products to ensure they start selling.
