Algolia AI Search for ecommerce

Shoppers who use search are telling you exactly what they want to buy. Algolia makes sure they find it. Dealpoa, a certified Algolia partner, sets it up and tunes it for your store.

What you get

The same platform used by 18,000+ businesses, named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Search and Product Discovery.

Search that understands intent

Hybrid keyword and AI search handles typos, synonyms and vague queries, so “black work shoes size 40” finds the right products.

AI ranking

Dynamic Re-Ranking learns what shoppers click and buy for each query and promotes those products automatically.

Personalisation

Results and category pages adapt to each shopper’s behaviour to drive repeat purchases.

Merchandising without developers

Your team can boost, bury and pin products and run campaigns from a visual Merchandising Studio.

Recommendations

“Frequently bought together” and “related products” on product and cart pages to lift basket size.

Analytics and A/B testing

See top searches, no-result searches and revenue per query, and test every change before rolling it out.

Results published by Algolia. Your results depend on your traffic, catalogue and setup.

Will it pay back?

At a 40% gross margin, every $10,000 a year spent on search needs about $25,000 of extra online sales to break even. For a store selling $3M a year online, that is a lift of under 1%. In the demo we run this calculation with your own numbers.
