Promoted Suggestions

Overview

Promoted Suggestions in Autosuggest are predefined query suggestions that merchants can prioritize to appear at the top of the Autosuggest dropdown. These suggestions help drive attention to specific search terms or campaigns, enabling a more targeted shopping experience. Promoted suggestions are beneficial for

Highlighting specific keywords for seasonal sales, promotions, or new product launches.
Driving traffic to categories or products that need more visibility.
Aligning autosuggest queries with business goals, ensuring shoppers are directed to high-priority areas.

Promoted suggestions will appear in the search dropdown when the shopper’s query includes a string of letters that matches any part of the terms you’ve added as promoted suggestions.

Add Promoted Suggestion

Follow the steps below to set up promoted suggestions:

Log in to Netcore Unbxd Search panel and navigate to the Promoted Suggestions > Add Promoted Suggestion.
In the pop-up window, enter the terms you want to promote and specify the start and end date and time for the promotion period.

For Example, if Running Shoes is added as a promoted suggestion, it will appear for search queries like Run, Running, or Shoes. It will not appear for unrelated queries like Sandals, Jackets, or Hiking Gear, as these terms do not match any part of the promoted suggestion.

Once all details are configured, click Add to save the promoted suggestion.
