How it sells itself

Customers don't always spell things correctly. Sellerzilla makes sure they still find what they're looking for. AI-powered search shows instant results with typo tolerance and smart matching. See what customers search for, track clicks, and spot catalog gaps with built-in analytics. Promote products, pin top sellers, hide out-of-stock items—your rules, no code needed. Setup takes minutes.

Shoppers don't search in your catalogue's words — Vanilla AI Search matches what they mean. Hybrid keyword + AI semantic ranking finds matching products even for vague queries, fixes typos without breaking product-name searches, and completes queries as shoppers type. Pin, hide, promote, redirect and curate results with merchandising rules that publish in seconds. Search analytics show demand, dead ends and clicks.

Key points
  • Search with typo tolerance—"shoees" still finds shoes
  • See what customers search for and where they get no results
  • Pin, promote, or hide products with merchandising rules
