Advanced Product Search for WooCommerce – Motive Commerce Search

A big hello from the Motive.co team, and thanks for checking us out!

We understand the challenges of the modern retailer, and have developed Motive Commerce Search – a feature-packed, lightning-fast product search plugin for WooCommerce – to empower your shop’s growth.

We’re on a mission to democratise technology, and want every shop to have access to advanced product search. That means advanced filters, live search suggestions and the same tools used by the biggest brands.

You also get access to the Motive Playboard; the backend of your search where you can do things like tweak results for specific searches, customise how filters are displayed, redirect shoppers to non-product pages and align your site search with your business and marketing goals.

On top of all that, Motive Commerce Search for WooCommerce gives you:

✅ Unmatched search relevancy
✅ Trust-first, tracker free technology
✅ Full alignment with data protection regulations
✅ No-code visual customisations
✅ Advanced CSS options
✅ Features designed to enable growth
✅ Mobile-first design
✅ Team collaboration

ACCESS THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND THE WORLD’S BIGGEST BRANDS

Motive Commerce Search is built on the technology of Empathy.co, which provides some of the world’s largest online retailers with their search. Motive Commerce Search has taken this same technology and made it available for any sized shop.

That means search that is affordable with features that have been carefully developed with the needs of your shop and customers in mind.

WHEN WE SAY FEATURE-PACKED, WE REALLY DO MEAN IT!

GREATER TRUST = BETTER RESULTS

At Motive, we do things differently from other search plugins. Simply put, we don’t ask you to collect your customers’ data, and we don’t use that data to serve your competitors.
We believe in creating ethical search that builds trust. That’s why Motive Commerce Search helps you:

• Boost revenue: Businesses that generate trust are 1.6x more likely to boost revenue and EBIT growth rates by 10% or more (Source: McKinsey)
• Add value: Shoppers now value trust almost as much as price, and on a par with delivery times. (Source: McKinsey)
• Respect customer data: A majority of consumers now look specifically for businesses that have a reputation for protecting their data. (Source: McKinsey)

Customer data is a driving force for loyalty and steady growth. The Retail Trust Index from www.ethicalalliance.co gives some interesting results regarding this:

• 74% of consumers believe online tracking practices are intrusive.
• 80% of consumers are aware online shops track and use their online browsing history.
• Transparency, clear data privacy policies and cybersecurity are the most important factors to trust online brands.

FULLY TRANSPARENT WITH NO SURPRISES

• One flat rate with no hidden extras: Choose the pricing plan that matches your shop’s size, goals and needs.
• Full access to all features: No matter what plan you select, you’ll have access to all features, with upgrades and support included.
• Search that’s priced by… searches! Don’t be stung by a provider that charges by requests. With Motive Commerce Search, you pay by what matters most to your and your shoppers: searching and finding.
• Dedicated customer support: A team of real people to help you with any questions you may have.
• Search that’s never switched off: Motive Commerce Search will never switch off your service, even if your shop outperforms the plan you’ve purchased.

BENEFITS FOR YOUR SHOPPERS

✅ Avoid frustrating shopping experiences while also discovering new products.
✅ Feel confident and safe that their data is not being tracked, collected or shared.
