Customer:limited100.co.uk Industry: Luxury Automotive Wall Art Company Overview:Limited100 is a UK-based luxury automotive wall art business serving car enthusiasts globally. Founded in 2020, they work with seven photographers worldwide and have sold over 500 handmade artworks to collectors, gift buyers, and dealerships across the UK, US, and beyond.
Limited100 faced a common problem for small businesses using older Shopify themes: their basic search functionality wasn't engaging enough to keep visitors exploring their catalog. The results speak for themselves — after implementing Searchanise, they saw their average pages per visit increase from 2.2 to 3.4 and bounce rate drop from 28% to 18%.
Core Issues Included:
Limited Search Functionality: The basic Shopify search on their theme provided no preview functionality. Customers searching for "Ferrari F40" would see only a text result, with no product image or key details, until clicking through. Poor Site Engagement: Without an intuitive search experience, visitors weren't discovering other products, leading to high bounce rates and low page views per session.

"It matches the style of our website as well, and it didn’t require any custom coding. That was great, because most Shopify sellers need to hire a developer for custom work, which can be quite expensive for a small business."

Pages Per Visit: +55% Increase

"We’ve seen an increase in average pages per visit from about 2.2 to 3.4… it’s also lowered our bounce rate. It used to be 28, and now it’s around 18. So, it’s made the website more engaging and encourages people to explore more pages."
