A brand's sale is linked to the discoverability of the brand. The more the brand is discoverable on the merchant sites and marketplace, the higher the probability to be shopped by the customer and the brand will remain on top of the mind of the customer.  


As a brand, do you spend a lot of time improving the discoverability of your products through the keywords used in the listings across the merchant sites and marketplace?

Discoverability


Discoverability in Shopalyst BKG leaderboard is based on the share of search for a particular brand for popular keywords that the shoppers often use while they are seeking solutions on search engines(Google) or shopping(e-commerce search) under any category. 

The top-performing keywords for a brand are those which have more products listed in the search results. From this information and further analyses, the low-performing keywords can be identified and actioned accordingly or a top-performing keyword for a category can be picked by the brand to be actioned upon by adding the same in their product titles, description, etc.


What you see below is called the 'high-level' view of the leaderboard which shows all 4 pillars with high-level scores.


Discoverability score from level 1(high level) view


We identify the top 20 products for top 20 keywords for a category from across the merchant sites from which the scores are calculated for the brands within the category. The keywords are generic and not brand-specific, enabling an organic discoverability score on the leaderboard across brands within a category.

Also, if the product was discoverable consistently at rank1 for 30 days it will have a higher weightage compared to another product that was discoverable at rank 5 for the 30 days.

The percentage of search results of a particular brand from across the marketplace and merchant sites is considered while calculating the score for the specific brand. Also, the L1 view shows the month-on-month change in the discoverability score for the particular brand.

The scores on top 3 merchants for the category are shown in the level 2 (Detailed) view
