Overview
Visitors tell you a lot through the search box, but most sites never look at it. SearchWP Metrics collects that activity and turns it into reports you can read. You see the phrases people type most often, the results they choose and the searches that return nothing. Those gaps point to content you may want to write or to terms your search should handle better.
The plugin is an extension for the SearchWP search engine and is built for WordPress. A dashboard widget shows search volume and clicks without leaving the admin panel, and filters let you narrow the data to what matters. You can export everything to CSV for work in other tools. Site owners, marketers and developers can all use it to refine content and search relevance.
Features
- Real-time search data: See current visitor search trends and behavior as they happen, so you can notice emerging interests and respond to them quickly.
- Popular searches tracking: Find the keywords and phrases visitors search for most often, then use them to decide which content to improve or expand.
- Search clicks reporting: Review which search results get the most clicks to fine-tune keyword relevance and the accuracy of your search rankings.
- No-result query analysis: Spot the search terms that return nothing and use them to find content gaps that match what visitors wanted.
- Smart data filtering: Control how search analytics are displayed so you can focus on the metrics that matter for your decisions.
- WordPress dashboard widget: Check key search metrics such as volume and clicks from your WordPress admin panel without navigating to another screen.
- CSV data export: Export all search data to CSV so you can analyze it further in the external tools you already use for reporting.
- Works with SearchWP setups: Built as an extension for SearchWP, it fits your existing search setup and works with plugins such as WooCommerce and Advanced Custom Fields.
