Search Effectiveness Audit  Download the PDF Brochure

Is your site search good enough, or do you need to invest in making it better? There are plenty of opinions in any organization about the quality of the search experience offered by its Web site or intranet, ranging from “it stinks” to “it’s great.” Our Search Effectiveness Audit provides the data and analysis to take effective action.

The project has four tasks:
  • Identify site audiences and scenarios
  • Review current search experience data
  • Assess performance against audience expectations for search
  • Gather key stakeholders’ expectations and aspirations
There are two high-value deliverables:
  1. A report and presentation explaining our findings and recommendations for technology, processes, skills, organization, metrics and management
  2. Three follow-up meetings to adapt help you apply the intent of the recommendations, adapt our recommendations to changing circumstances, and adjust plans and priorities as you move forward.

Pricing starts at $10k. For more information, contact Susan Aldrich.

Product Research Consultation
Our published reports have a wealth of information. But if you are interested in a product that we have not analyzed; if you have requirements beyond our criteria; or you prefer a chance to discuss your situation with an expert, contact Susan Aldrich. Consultations start at $2k.
