Ranking, Synonyms & Intent
Custom WordPress search quality without black-box AI. Adjust zone weights, map synonyms, and define intent—scoring runs on the SearchUs service with your saved settings.
How Search Quality Improves
Zone-Weighted Scoring
You set the weight for every scoring zone—title, H1, H2, H3+, body, and media. Raise or lower each one so relevance matches how your site is written.
Synonyms
Map informal phrases to the content you care about—“signup” finds “sign up.”
Intent Matching
Connect industry language to the pages and products that should win.
“Did You Mean?”
When results are weak, the service can suggest a corrected query.
Per-Type Multipliers
Boost or cap pages, posts, products, and media types independently.
Every Plan
Ranking UI is not paywalled—plans change quotas, not admin controls.
Need to pin or reorder results for a campaign query? That’s Result Control—a separate merchant tool.
Ranking FAQ
Is ranking AI-powered?
No generative AI. Relevance comes from zone weights, synonyms, intent lists, and your multipliers.
Is this the same as Result Control?
No. Ranking & intent score organic matches. Result Control lets you pin, promote, or reorder results for specific queries.
