Providing brand experience with a landing page

In this task, you link specific search terms to a landing page, providing a better brand experience.Landing pages are used to promote certain products or activities in the store by directing shoppers to specific store pages based on keywords search. The landing page can promote certain products, brands, or store pages, depending on the nature of the search submission. If a shopper searches for a keyword, you can define the resulting landing page as a page of your choice, such as a related store category page, as opposed to the search results page.

Procedure

  1. Open the Catalogs tool.
  2. From the explorer view, click Search Term Associations.
  3. Click the Landing Pages tab.

    2. Set the Landing Page to a URL where your landing page is located, such as the default SearchLandingPage1 or http://host_name/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/aurora/apparel-designer

      Make sure that you change the host_namevalue in the URL to the correct host name at your respective location
