Visitors may describe a product or service differently than your navigation does. We connect your website to a supported Google Cloud search service and shape the results around your content, catalog fields and visibility rules. The project includes indexing and relevance checks, so the search interface has a defined source and an owner.
The scope is search within your own website or catalog. We start with a bounded content set and representative queries, then select the supported ingestion and search features needed for that dataset.
Choose eligible pages or catalog records and map their titles, URLs and useful attributes. Define exclusions for drafts, private pages and retired products. A public website crawl and a structured product feed have different capabilities and setup requirements.
Integrate the search request and result interface with the existing website. Select usable category or attribute filters and preserve visibility constraints on the server. Metadata fields must be configured for the chosen search route before filters can rely on them.
Test expected matches, synonyms, narrow product requests and queries with no useful result. Agree on content refresh and removal handling, and give staff a way to report stale results or missing records.
Provide the website, sitemap or supported catalog feed. Identify canonical URLs, product identifiers and fields visitors use to choose a result. We check ingestion eligibility before promising coverage.
Confirm the Google Cloud project, enabled service, permissions and account limits. Hosting, indexing and query usage are part of the selected provider setup; no unlimited search allowance is assumed.
Supply examples of what customers search for and the pages or products they should find. Name the person who can judge relevance and approve rules for unavailable or excluded items.
Check the source structure and choose public website indexing or an appropriate structured-data route. Record the visibility rules and refresh responsibilities.
Connect the API and website interface, then compare returned results with the agreed query examples. Check filters, empty results and provider failures.
Change or remove a controlled source record and verify the index follows the agreed process. Document relevance settings, account ownership and the fallback when search is unavailable.
