Autosuggest
Overview
The performance of query suggestions powered by autosuggest can be monitored using the Typeahead report. This report provides a breakdown of the engagement received by various query suggestion types and corresponding conversions. You get to know the conversion rate, click-through rate, and revenue generated from each type of suggestion. The insights derived from this report can be used to configure auto-suggest settings in order to drive higher engagement.
This report shows the engagement metrics of Autosuggest parameters like:
- In-fields
- Keyword-suggestion
- Top queries
- Popular products.
The Overview tab shows consolidated data for all suggestion types on the same screen. When a shopper types a query and selects a query suggestion, Unbxd analytics tracks the products ordered via in-feature suggestions, keyword suggestions, or from the list of popular products. Therefore, we get an overview report including all the individual metrics, conversion rate, revenue percentage, and engagement percentage.

Overview Reports
By looking at the above chart, you can quickly draw these insights :
- In ~17% of the searches, the shopper selects a query/product suggestion in autosuggest. This suggests that the query suggestions are relevant to shoppers in ~17% of the cases.
- The two most frequently used suggestions are top search queries and in-field suggestions. Lower engagement on Keyword suggestions and popular products could be due to lower visibility in the UI or relevance issues.
You can make changes in the UI or autosuggest configurations to fix these.
