Understanding customers using their search queries
Manage episode 303578593 series 2522423
What this episode covers
You select the product you want, press the buy button and there it is, at your doorstep at the selected moment.
Sounds simple, right?
Inspired by a talk of our guest of this episode earlier this year, we wanted to find out what's behind the search bar. We wanted to understand search queries. Simple at first glance, but when we dive into it we found out it's way more complex than you might think.
We had great learning: as a customer, I help other customers to improve their search results. How that works? Listen to this episode.
