Google Site Search

[ASOS]

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone had used Google Site Search before and what they thought of it?

It seems quite expensive for just returning your own pages but would be interested to find out more.

Thanks

I thought that was free,

Bing has a free site search you can use

[ASOS]

Nope, it's not free. It's actually something that appears in SERPs - like the House of Fraser result you see here: - it's not acutally on site as such.

ditto - just seeing what people think, you're in my camp by the looks.

I would totally recommend Google Sitesearch.

I found that in our latest client, they manage to increase conversion rates and thus increasing their profits...coincidence? Nope.

I found that the display of results enticed the users to stay on for longer and make it more engaging. It’s faster than a open source search engine

Hope this helps. I would really love to give a demo and stats on my clients work but i cant due to a confidentiality clause.

Two thumbs Up!
