Business case

Calculate the value of better e-commerce search with your own data.

A search project should not only be technically better. Use a baseline measurement, conservative scenarios, and a full cost base to assess commercial and operational value.

Search use

Measure how many sessions search use and how that group moves through the funnel.

Search volume →

Zero-result searches

Prioritize missed demand by volume, purchase intent and cause rather than just by percentage.

Zero-result searches →

CTR

Use product clicks if signal or results are relevant enough to provoke a next step.

CTR →

Conversion

Link orders only where the attribution is sufficiently substantiated and verifiable.

Conversion →

Management effort

Take hours of analysis, data, synonyms, merchandising, incidents and optimization.

TCO →

Scenarios

Work with conservative bandwidths and separate assumptions visible from measured results.

Business case →
ROI Without false precision

Use the business case to structure decisions, not to predict guaranteed revenue.

Set baseline, assumptions, costs, measurement period and pre-success criteria. This makes the outcome after implementation comparable to the original expectation.
