Example data

Test shelf: 216 products

357 fields are missing information. Shoppers can’t use them to filter products, and your search can’t either.

Two ways to rank the same four missing attributes

Traditional audit

ranks by what is absent

Pulse

ranks by what shoppers need

  1. 1Processor162 missing
  2. 2Screen size80 missing
  3. 3Memory60 missing
  4. 4Storage55 missing
  1. 1Screen size15 of 32
  2. 2Memory13 of 32
  3. 3Storage10 of 32
  4. 4Processor2 of 32

Processor is missing from 162 products, so a traditional audit ranks it first. But only 2 of 32 shopper requirements mention it, so Pulse ranks it last. Fixing it first could waste time and resources with little impact on shoppers.

Recovering screen size

Currently, Pulse identifies Screen size as the attribute that needs priority correction.

Start with the Decision Audit

Everything else follows from it: check what the repair moved, keep each shelf measured, and see which missing facts go with returns.

Why ecommerce brands should choose Pulse

  1. Capture shopper intent from the first interaction

    Pulse reads what a shopper is trying to decide from their very first interaction, before they search, filter or leave.

  2. Connect shoppers with the right products

    Each shopper’s intent is matched with the products whose attributes actually answer it, so they reach a suitable product sooner.

  3. Reduce losing sales opportunities from early shopper exits

    When products can’t be told apart, shoppers leave early. Fixing the attributes that decide the purchase keeps them choosing.

  4. Turn commerce data into actionable marketing intelligence

    Your catalogue and shopper signals become a ranked list of what to fix and promote first, not another dashboard to read.

  5. Uncover insights others miss or fail to collect

    Pulse measures the attributes shoppers need but your catalogue never recorded: the gaps a completeness report cannot see.
