Automated Site Search Gap Reporting

Every Monday, WebRun opens Bloomreach, reads last week's site search terms with their result counts, picks out the searches that returned nothing or nothing relevant, ranks them by how many shoppers asked, writes the gap report into Notion, and texts the merchandiser the biggest misses.

In short

How do I find the site searches that return no results?

WebRun reads your Bloomreach site search reporting every Monday and finds the terms shoppers typed that returned nothing worth buying. It ranks them by volume, groups them by category, writes the gap report into Notion, and texts the merchandiser the top misses, so the catalog gets fixed where demand already exists.

  • Missing demand is named every week, ranked by search volume
  • Repeat misses are visible because past weeks stay in Notion
  • Naming and relevance problems surface alongside missing products

Step by step

What does WebRun do on every run?

The exact actions WebRun takes, in order - in plain language, so you can adjust anything.

  1. WebRun signs in and gets to work

    Opens www.bloomreach.com in a real browser with your saved login - no setup, no API keys.

  2. 1

    • Open Bloomreach and go to the site search reporting for the last seven days
    • List the search terms with the number of searches and the number of results returned
    • Pick out the terms that returned no results at all
    • Also pick out the high volume terms whose results nobody clicked, and note the category each term belongs to

    Done when Last week's failed and low performing search terms are listed with volumes.

  3. 2
    Notion - write the gap report
    notion.so
    WebRun in Notion: write the gap report
    WebRun opens Notion to write the gap report.
    • Add this week's gap report page with the date range
    • Rank the zero result terms by search volume
    • Group them into likely categories so the merchandising fix is obvious
    • Suggest for each whether the catalog is missing the product, using a different name for it, or not promoting it
    • Keep previous weeks so a repeat miss is visible

    Done when The ranked gap report is written up in Notion.

  4. 3
    Twilio - text the top misses
    twilio.com
    WebRun in Twilio: text the top misses

Questions, answered

Will it change the catalog or the search rules?

No. WebRun only reads the search reporting and writes a report. Adding products, renaming them, and changing merchandising rules stay with your team.

How does it rank the misses?

By how many shoppers searched the term in the last seven days, so the demand you are losing most of sits at the top rather than a one-off typo.

Does it catch searches that returned results nobody wanted?

Yes. Alongside zero result terms it flags high volume searches whose results went unclicked, which is usually a naming or relevance problem rather than a missing product.

Put this on autopilot.
