Google Custom Search – Add It To Your Site
Having a Google Search tool on your site comes in pretty handy. In some cases, it can mean the keeping or loss of a site visitor.
So search is an important part of your site.
Because your site visitors head for your search box when they cannot locate the content they are looking for.
If you are still relying on your default search feature, that kinda already frustrated visitor is likely to
leave your site, never to return – if their search results are zero.
Google Search To The Rescue
Luckily Google makes it fairly easy to add their free Custom Google Search Box to your site.
In the previous post, I showed you that adding the PLR Video Transcripts to your Membership sites along with the training videos can help your Members quickly locate videos simply by typing in a keyword or phrase into your site’s search box.
Well, not every sites’ (WordPress or not) default search feature works perfectly all the time.
This post will solve that problem by showing you step by step how to create, customize, and add the Google Custom Search box to your site.
