Search & Discovery for eCommerce
Helping brands stay visible, relevant and considered

How customers discover brands has changed.
Search still matters, but it no longer happens in one place. Customers now discover products and brands across search engines, AI-driven platforms, social channels and marketplaces, often before they ever reach a website.
Search & Discovery is about understanding that wider landscape and ensuring your brand remains visible, relevant and credible wherever discovery happens.

How discovery
works today

Discovery is no longer linear.
Customers move between platforms to research, compare and decide. They may start with a search engine, explore social platforms for context, encounter recommendations from AI tools, or compare options directly on marketplaces.
Each of these environments shapes demand and consideration in different ways. Treating them in isolation creates gaps that competitors can exploit.

Why Search & Discovery
matters

Discovery shapes commercial performance long before conversion.
If your brand is not visible or consistently represented across key discovery environments, you lose influence early in the decision-making process. That loss compounds over time, reducing demand quality and increasing reliance on paid channels.
Search & Discovery focuses on protecting and strengthening that early influence.

Our approach to
Search & Discovery

We approach Search & Discovery as a joined-up system, not a collection of tactics.
The focus is on understanding where discovery happens in your category, how customers move between platforms, and which signals matter most at each stage. From there, we apply the right disciplines to support visibility, credibility and consideration.
This approach keeps activity aligned to commercial priorities rather than channel silos.

How we work
with clients

Search & Discovery provides the strategic lens.
From there, individual services are scoped based on where discovery matters most, which platforms influence choice, and where the biggest commercial opportunities exist. This keeps activity focused, connected and adaptable as behaviour continues to change.
