Short answer

How can I audit my search performance using AI?

Your AI pulls specific metrics like click-through rates and click positions directly from Algolia. It then identifies which queries have high engagement or where users are struggling to find what they need. You get a clear view of your search health through these specific data points.

Where every issue lands.

Search performance outcomes

The AI categorizes your search data into these specific areas.

ENGAGEMENT

Click-through analysis

The AI uses click-through data to show which search results actually grab attention. You'll see which queries are driving interest.

RELEVANCE

Positioning gaps

By looking at click positions, the AI finds results that are relevant but buried too deep. This highlights where your ranking needs work.

CONVERSION

Revenue impact

The AI tracks how search interactions turn into completed actions. This connects search quality directly to your bottom line.

HUMAN

Manual adjustments

The AI flags the problems, but you decide how to change your indexing or synonyms. It leaves the actual search configuration to you.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI acts as a data analyst that interprets your Algolia logs.

  1. Measure engagement

    The AI pulls the click-through rates for specific queries to see what users are actually clicking.

    get_click_through_rate

  2. Check result depth

    It calculates the average click position to determine if your best results are appearing too far down the list.

    get_average_click_position

  3. Track success

    The AI pulls conversion rates to see if the search journey is actually leading to the desired outcome.

    get_conversion_rate

  4. Identify friction

    By comparing these three metrics, the AI pinpoints exactly where the search experience breaks down.
