Chapter 1 – The Algorithm

Every day, countless people use search engines, such as Google, to find information and products online. While Google’s sophisticated algorithm dominates the search engine realm, other e-commerce giants like Amazon, Walmart, and eBay have their own unique algorithms powering their search engines. For brand owners, this means optimizing product detail pages to strike the perfect balance between discoverability for search engines and buyability for shoppers – a challenging tightrope to walk.
