Informed decisionsData that becomes improvement

Combine demand, clicks, and coverage to prioritize changes and measure results after each iteration.

Overview

Turn search behavior into practical decisions

ShopMaply Analytics shows how visitors use each locator. Administrators can identify demand, friction, and opportunities to improve location data, filters, geographic coverage, and calls to action.

More relevant experiences

Searches and filters reveal the language, categories, services, and regions visitors actually care about.

Fewer unanswered searches

Zero-result queries expose missing locations, coverage gaps, or location data that needs improvement.

More high-value actions

Detail, directions, website, and phone clicks show which locations and calls to action generate interest.

Evidence-based management

Location rankings and coverage gaps guide expansion, content updates, and operational priorities.

Available metrics

From initial reach to visit intent

The dashboard combines overall totals with rankings that explain behavior, demand, and performance for each locator.

Reach and discovery

  • Public locator views
  • Visitor search submissions
  • Most common search terms
  • Queries that returned no results

Navigation and refinement

  • Filter interactions
  • Most-used filters and values
  • Location card and detail clicks
  • Ranking of entries with the most interactions

Intent and conversion

  • Directions clicks
  • Website clicks
  • Phone clicks
  • Separate tracking for promoted-location interactions

Advanced insights

  • Growth summaries on Growth plans and above
  • Neighborhood, city, or region coverage gaps on Pro plans and above
  • Recommendations based on demand and location count
  • CSV export for external analysis on Pro plans and above
How to interpret

Read metrics together, not in isolation

A single number shows activity. Metric combinations provide context and point toward the right action.

Demand without coverage

  • High search volume plus many zero results signals unmet demand
  • Review spelling, synonyms, categories, and location areas
  • Consider adding locations or partners in recurring regions
  • Use Pro coverage gaps to prioritize high-impact areas

Discovery without action

  • Many views with few clicks can signal unclear result cards
  • Improve titles, descriptions, hours, categories, and contact data
  • Compare top-clicked locations to find useful patterns
  • Make directions, phone, and website calls to action easy to find

Filters and information architecture

  • Popular filters should remain easy to find
  • Unused filters may be confusing or irrelevant
  • Recurring search terms can become categories or filters
  • Review metrics again after each change
