Let’s be honest: ecommerce platforms like Shopify, BigCommerce, and Shift4Shop do a great job helping you sell. But when it comes to site search — the critical tool visitors rely on to find what they’re looking for quickly — the default solutions often fall short.

That’s where FusionBot comes in.

For over 2 decades, FusionBot has specialized in hosted site search solutions that turn frustrating shopping experiences into streamlined, high-converting customer journeys. In a world where attention spans are short and product catalogs are vast, your site’s search functionality isn’t just nice to have — it’s a conversion engine.

Default Search Is Basic — And That’s a Problem

Let’s break it down. Most ecommerce platforms offer a basic default search. It gets the job done — sort of. But the reality is:

• Lacks intelligent relevancy ranking
• Doesn’t support rich product filtering or faceted navigation
• Struggles with natural language queries
• Limited or no analytics on what users are searching for
• Weak handling of synonyms, misspellings, and merchandising rules

If your customers type “red leather sneakers” and get a mixed bag of socks, backpacks, and jackets, you’re losing sales — plain and simple.

FusionBot: Built for One Job, and It Does It Brilliantly

FusionBot was built from the ground up to solve this exact problem. After two decades of feedback, refinement, and ecommerce battle-testing, we’ve created a solution that’s sharp, scalable, and ready to go.

Key Features of FusionBot:

• Faceted Search and Filtering: Let users drill down by brand, size, color, price, rating, and more.
• Platform Agnostic: Shopify, BigCommerce, Shift4Shop — if it has an API, we integrate with it.

The Real ROI: Why This Matters

When you improve your site’s search experience, you’re not just making things easier for your customers. You’re:

• Reducing bounce rates by guiding users to the right products
• Increasing conversions by removing friction from the purchase path
• Reducing customer service tickets for product inquiries
• Boosting average order value (AOV) through smarter product discovery
