Check 9 / 16 LOW impact In the full checklist

Search synonyms: sneakers = shoes = trainers

What this check is

Every zero-result search is a shopper telling you their word for the product. Synonym mapping is the cheapest fix for the vocabulary gap between the catalogue and the customer.

How to implement it

Add synonyms for the terms customers actually use, including regional variants, plurals and common misspellings, in the search settings or the app that runs search. Read the store’s search report weekly and add the zero-result queries as you find them.

How to verify it

Search for three alternative words for the same product and confirm all three return the same results rather than an empty page.
