Maisons du Monde boosts search conversion 5% and CTR 2.3% with Algolia AI Re-ranking
Maisons du Monde's previous search tool was purely technical with no e-merchandising console, preventing the team from optimizing result relevance or deploying brand strategies — an increasingly urgent gap as the marketplace launch expanded the product catalog.

Outcome
After deploying Algolia, A/B testing showed a 4% increase in product detail page views and a 5% increase in conversion rates; the AI Re-ranking module specifically contributed a 2.3% increase in click-through rate and a 1.6% increase in add-to-cart rate, significantly enhancing user experience.
What failed first
The previous search software was inflexible and had no merchandising controls, offering no business dimension for the e-merch team to tune result relevance.
