Definition
Product discoverability is how easily a product can be found when a buyer searches, filters, compares, or asks an AI system for recommendations.
What improves discoverability
- Complete and structured product attributes
- Clear titles, taxonomy, and categorization
- Consistent terminology and normalized values
- Channel-ready content and metadata
What hurts discoverability
- Missing attributes
- Weak taxonomy
- Conflicting product data
- Thin or generic content
Why it matters
If products cannot be found, they cannot be compared or purchased. Discoverability is a catalog problem before it becomes a marketing problem.
