Search & agentic commerce

Be found when customers search for an answer.

People no longer search only for product names. They describe a problem, a situation or the result they want — and expect search engines, AI assistants and webshops to find the right solution.

What is Search & Agentic Commerce Optimisation?

It is the work of organising your product data, content, policies and commerce connections so people and machines can understand what you sell, who it is for and which need it solves.

When a search engine, marketplace or AI agent evaluates your offer, it should not have to guess.

It needs clear information about fit, use cases, compatibility, price, stock, delivery and returns before it can confidently show — or recommend — your product.

Customers are searching for solutions, not shelves.

The journey is shifting from entering an exact product or category to explaining a situation in natural language. Search systems now interpret intent, compare options and filter out products that do not fit the context.

THEN · PRODUCT-LED Search term

“waterproof work boots”

The customer already knows the category and filters through a list.

NOW · SOLUTION-LED Customer question

“Which safety boot stays waterproof during long shifts on concrete?”

The system must understand use, comfort, surface, duration and protection — then match the right product.

If your information is vague, incomplete or inconsistent, your products can disappear before the customer ever sees them. The brand with the clearest data and most useful answers is easier to understand, compare and recommend.

Where we improve

Six layers of modern product discovery.

We improve the full path between a customer expressing a need and your product being understood as a suitable answer — on your own store and across the wider commerce ecosystem.

01

Shopify search & filtering

We tune onsite search around the language customers actually use: synonyms, spelling variations, predictive search, zero-result queries and search analytics. Filters reflect real decision criteria such as use, fit, material, compatibility and occasion.

Why it matters

A customer can start with an imperfect phrase or broad need and still reach a relevant product quickly.

02

Product taxonomy & structured data

We organise product families, categories, attributes and variants, then add clear data for materials, dimensions, fit, use cases, compatibility and identifiers. Schema and relationships make that information readable by machines.

Why it matters

Search platforms can understand what each product is, how it differs and when it is relevant — instead of relying on a title alone.

03

Solution-led, SEO-ready content

We enrich product and collection pages with useful descriptions, comparisons, FAQs and buying guidance. The language connects features to problems, outcomes and real customer situations without turning the page into keyword soup.

Why it matters

Your content can match early questions as well as product searches, helping customers move from uncertainty to a confident choice.

04

Merchant feeds & marketplace data

We improve titles, categories, GTINs, attributes, images, prices, availability and shipping data across Google, Meta and marketplace feeds. We also reduce errors and inconsistencies between the source and every destination.

Why it matters

Commerce platforms depend on complete, current feeds to match an offer to the right person, query and market.

05

AI search visibility

We create crawlable, consistent and authoritative product information with clear entities, internal links and solution-focused content. Key facts are easy to verify across your site instead of being buried or contradicted.

Why it matters

AI assistants need reliable evidence before they can include, explain or recommend a brand in an answer.

06

Agent-ready product & policy information

We make price, stock, delivery, returns, payment options, size guidance and policies accurate and accessible through pages, feeds and integrations. An agent can compare the complete offer, not just the product description.

Why it matters

Future shopping agents need to move from discovery to recommendation — and eventually action — without guessing whether the promise can be fulfilled.

Not sure what an AI assistant can currently understand about your products?

We map the gaps across your store, product database, content, feeds and policies — then prioritise the improvements with the greatest commercial impact.

How we work

From scattered product information to one discovery system.

We connect search, content and data as one commercial capability — not six isolated optimisation projects.

01 · AUDIT

See what customers and machines see

We review queries, product data, content, feeds, policies and technical signals across channels.

02 · STRUCTURE

Create a shared product language

We define categories, attributes, use cases and relationships around how customers decide.

03 · ENRICH

Fill the information gaps

We improve descriptions, guidance, structured data and policy information where it changes discovery.

04 · CONNECT

Distribute one reliable truth

We align Shopify, feeds, marketplaces and connected systems so information stays consistent.

05 · IMPROVE

Learn from real behaviour

We monitor queries, zero results, visibility, feed health and conversion to guide the next improvement.
