Problem
Website visitors often struggle to find relevant content quickly because traditional site search returns generic results, lacks natural language understanding, and provides limited guidance such as suggestions or filters. This leads to higher bounce rates, more support inquiries, and lost conversion opportunities.
Solution
Smart Answers delivers AI‑powered site search that returns instant, contextually relevant results and generates natural‑language answers directly from website content. The engine offers auto‑complete suggestions, related searches, and filter checkboxes to guide users toward the right information. Marketers can fine‑tune relevance through an intuitive control panel, adjusting ranking, synonyms, and brand dictionaries without needing code changes. All interactions are logged and visualized in analytics dashboards, enabling continuous optimization of the search experience. The solution integrates with major DXP/CMS platforms via ready‑made connectors and provides APIs for custom implementations.
