What it does
Most site owners have little idea what people look for when they use the search box. Visitors search, find nothing useful and leave without telling anyone. This extension records that activity so you can see popular keywords, the results that get clicked and the queries that return no results at all. With that information you can spot content gaps, write the pages people are asking for and adjust how your search ranks results.
The plugin runs alongside an existing SearchWP setup and keeps its reports in the WordPress admin. A dashboard widget shows search volume and clicks at a glance, and filtering options let you focus on the numbers you care about. When you need deeper analysis, you can export the search data to CSV and open it in a spreadsheet or another tool. It suits blogs, stores and content-heavy sites already running SearchWP.
Best for
- WordPress sites already using the SearchWP search engine
- Content teams looking for topics visitors cannot find
- WooCommerce stores wanting to understand product searches
