Use cases ​

Content optimization ​

Analyze popular zero-result queries:

  1. Find queries with “Found: No”
  2. Check if relevant content exists on the site
  3. If it does — check indexing
  4. If not — consider creating content

Setting up aliases ​

When users search with synonyms or typos:

  1. Find zero-result queries
  2. Determine correct spelling
  3. Create an alias for replacement
