What makes Slickstream different is that we handle the hard work for you. We sit outside of WordPress, which means when you sign up we build a model of your site and use it to populate all of our search and recommendation too…
Slickstream has great search functionality of course but the ability to favorite is awesome as well. Recommendations are spot on. The analytics are way cool; in fact, I use them just as much, if not more, than Google Analytics. Best of all the support is amazing and they are willing to configure just about everything to exactly how you want it. Cost is reasonable too. An easy 5 stars for this one!
I had Slickstream and then moved away from it. The service I went with didn’t do a great job on recommendations and in some cases made no sense. Slickstream made it so easy to reconfigure my site exactly the way I wanted and I love the analytics that I have concerning searches on my site.
I really like seeing the search images at the top of my website!
I love Slickstream and how great it recommends my content for readers.
I have noticed a massive difference in search engagement and time-on-page. My readers love the ease of search, and they are coming back again and again!
