The Intelligent Alternative to Google Search Appliance

It’s time to start planning. We’ve all known this for a while, but Google Search Appliance (GSA) will soon be discontinued. However, this is a terrific opportunity to finally bury all your hardware headaches and move to the cloud! Cludo is the perfect Google Search Appliance alternative for those in search of a customizable, best-in-class search and insights platform. Here are five reasons to migrate to Cludo’s search and insights platform.

No more hardware

Users of GSA will benefit from the ease of permanently shifting from Google’s hardware-based platform to Cludo’s cloud solution. The cost of managing and maintaining an exhaustive IT system goes out the window when you’re in the cloud. Plus, the additional costs associated with upgrades, energy consumption and delays experienced with an outdated model are alleviated. When you migrate to Cludo’s cloud, updates to your system are done efficiently and without inconvenience, so, you’ll be using the most up-to-date software.

Empowers you to make data-driven decisions

We put you in control of your search strategy, with a customizable platform that empowers you to make data-driven decisions. Cludo’s analytics give you a complete picture of your content effectiveness. You’ll gain a firm understanding of visitor behavior and in turn, utilize an array of easy-to-use tools that can refine your search relevance.

Our collection of helpful tools starts with the easy-to-use dashboard. The MyCludo dashboard is the central hub for your website’s analytics. Its clean interface is easy-to-use and provides summarized statistics about user behavior. Once you evaluate your analytics, begin to optimize searches in need of enhancement. Custom rank areas of your website according to your site’s real-time data and regulate which pages on your site should be seen first for selected keywords.

Another extremely helpful feature is the ability to set up categories and filter specific segments of content into areas that are relevant for your website. This gives users the opportunity to view a broad range of content you offer in an organized fashion. Categories can also increase conversion rates because users can narrow their search according to their preferences.

A white-box solution

Cludo recognizes that sometimes you know your customers best. That’s why we enable our users to manually tweak, adjust or even shut down the automated rankings created by our AI. The machine learning is incredibly helpful and accurate, but you don’t need to simply trust Cludo on that- we let you get into the back-end of your platform via an easy-to-use interface, and customize the rankings being suggested, to suit your customer needs.

Integration with both Google Analytics and Siteimprove Analytics

Cludo’s advanced platform recognizes the need to integrate your site with either Google Analytics or Siteimprove Analytics. You’ll be able to supplement your site’s analytics with additional information on what people are looking for on your website. Measure your site’s digital success with a simple integration and track integral information about your website’s performance with relative ease.

Easy migration, maintenance and support

Just because a solution is state-of-the-art doesn’t mean setting it up has to be difficult. Cludo’s setup process is fast and easy, and our support team is on hand to assist you every step of the way. Setting up Cludo on your site simply requires you to copy and paste a JavaScript and HTML code and you’re done. This way you can get on with spending time on what’s really important- tweaking your search settings to provide the greatest relevance to your site visitors.

Intranet solutions are also a snap- you just need to use the Cludo API which makes retrieval of content secure, easy and personalized. Cludo is also CMS agnostic, which means your search engine will integrate with and perform equally well on any website.

Of course, last but not least, Cludo’s focus on customer happiness and our responsive and easy-to-reach support team are there for you every step of the way for the life of your subscription.

It's better in the cloud

When Google finally says “goodbye,” users will be forced to make a critical decision about their site search platform. You’ll want a solution that gives you customization, control, and useful insights into both your content strategy and your customer’s behavior.

Cludo’s got you covered. Plus, our singular focus on your happiness doesn’t hurt.
