How Search Analytics Takes Your Customer Service to a Higher Echelon
Take a pause and think. When you get up in the morning or noon (shoutout to all sluggish people out there), your brain automatically begins to analyze the information in real-time. Like getting out of bed, brushing your teeth, brewing some tea/coffee, cooking your breakfast, strategizing on what tasks to get done, and so on.
Search Analytics works similarly in the customer service realm. Organizations require top drawer strategy which can only be weaved with the help of data-driven insights.
Not convinced yet? Let us tell you in detail how Search Analytics helps to improve your customer service strategy, hence, customer experience strategy. Here’s how:
Identifying and overcoming knowledge gaps - Search insights help you gain an understanding of what your customers are looking for, and whether they can find satisfactory answers to their queries. You will also be able to pinpoint exactly why they are unable to find relevant content at the time of need. Therefore, you can ascertain which topics lack the necessary information and update the existing data.
Optimizing content - You get access to valuable insights, which allows you to understand user intent. It also helps figure out which issues repeatedly come up, so you can work on how to resolve them. As a result, you can optimize your content to be more relevant and prevent escalations. Thus, you will be better equipped to handle similar queries in the future.
Boosting Relevant Content - According to Forrester, 70% of customers prefer using the company website to get answers to their questions rather than through the phone or email. However, there are many cases where knowledge base articles are present but hard to find. This is where search analytics can help! The insights help you identify content pieces which contain regularly searched information, so you can make them easy to find and drive more traffic to those pages.
Useful Reports To Track for an Unbeatable Strategy
