Auto Synonyms feature utilizes advanced AI functionality to identify ‘no-hit’ keywords — search terms that yield no results — and automatically suggest contextually relevant synonyms. This process not only improves the accuracy of search results but also significantly enhances the user experience.

Managing ‘no-hit’ keywords with the traditional Synonyms feature requires reviewing the ‘no-hits’ keywords and adding them as synonyms for the search manually. Auto Synonyms streamlines the process of manual management by identifying and suggesting synonyms automatically – helpful on any content-heavy platform.

Reviewing and managing synonyms
