A DEEPER LOOK
- AI Mode: → With AI Mode, shoppers describe what they want, refine as they go, and compare options the same way they’d talk to someone who knows your catalogue inside out.
- AI Related Tags: → Type a couple of words and AI Related Tags appear instantly as clickable refinements that take shoppers straight to what they’re looking for.
- AI Carousels: → When a search returns no results, an AI Carousel activates automatically to surface products that match what your shopper means, not just what they typed. No setup and no dead-ends.
- Questions AI: → When a search comes up short, Questions AI surfaces smart refinements right alongside results, nudging shoppers toward the products they’re actually looking for.
- Content search in AI Mode: → Upload content so AI Mode finds answers in your content, not just your products. No AI hallucinations for better peace of mind and control.
- Backroom: → Real-time clicks and add-to-cart data with Backroom, mapped directly onto your catalogue. Boost a bestseller. Bury a dud. No dashboard. No second tab. Just search, see, decide. Mobile friendly analytics and quick actions.
- Backroom AI Chat → Type what you want to know – “what are my shoppers not finding?” “what’s my worst-performing search this week?” – and get the answer with Backroom’s AI Chat. No reports. No guesswork. Just the insight, when you need it.
- Better analytics: → When logged in to Backroom, your own searches aren’t counted in your analytics and you don’t accidentally pay for the searches you make in your own catalogue.

WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
“Motive always came recommended by the different communities we enquired through. We trialed a few other providers before switching, however they were under-featured, clunky and over-priced. When we trialed Motive the on-boarding was the smoothest I’d ever seen and we were able to get a workable search implementation almost instantly – it just worked and most importantly our customers loved it.” JH – United Kingdom on Trustpilot
“I totally recommend this smart search engine solution to anyone running an online store. It’s reliable, fast, super easy to use, and cheaper than the other options out there. Plus, their customer support team is awesome. Really professional and helpful. That makes all the difference!” – Global Neoprene – France on Trustpilot
“The integration was surprisingly quick and easy, working seamlessly with WooCommerce. What really impressed us was how customizable the search tool is – it blended in so well with our website’s design that it felt like a built-in feature, keeping everything looking consistent without sacrificing any functionality. Our experience with Motive eCommerce Search and the team behind it has been incredibly positive, directly improving navigation and customer satisfaction in our stores.” – Victor – Spain on Trustpilot
