Alternative Search Terms
Alternative Search Terms can be added to Productions and Pages. This is ideal if you want to control your search results based on search terms you expect your visitors to use, but aren’t present in the visible page texts i.e. common misspellings of names, places, or show titles, so the page is still found even when the search term was misspelled.
Content in this field will not show anywhere on your website, and is used in your site search.
How do I use it?
- Navigate to any Prodution, Page or Story in your Dashboard
- In the Alternative Search Terms field add search terms that visitors might use but don't appear in your visible content.
- Include common misspellings of names, places, or show titles.
- Use Google Analytics site search data to identify popular search terms and add them to relevant content.
