Prefixbox ranks in-stock products higher on the SERP, followed by products available for order, and then items available for pre-order.
Prefixbox’s Hybrid Search Engine analyzes user behavior and ranks results accordingly. For example, if a high percentage of shoppers click on a specific product, it will automatically rank higher, and products that don’t receive as much interaction will rank lower.
Retailers have the power to manually alter the order of SERP results with Prefixbox’s Merchandizing feature to promote the products they want to sell.
Prefixbox’s UX is highly responsive and can be fully customized to match the design of your store.
Filters change dynamically based on the search query. For example, if someone searches for shoes, they can filter results by size, and if they search for a laptop, they can filter results by processing power or other relevant specifications.
Shoppers can narrow down search results by applying range filters (i.e. to set a price range) and value filters (brand, color, price, etc.) to find desired products quickly. For example, if a shopper searches for shoes, they can apply smart filters and efficiently navigate to white Nike’s under $90.
