What is the "Searchable Option" ("Level One-B" and "Level Two-B")?
With the "Searchable Option", each item page can be found by all major search engines, including Google. This is not possible with any other comparably priced ecommerce shop that we are aware of.
When should I choose the "Searchable Option"?
If you have unique products that differ from each other, and that others might search specifically for, then consider the Searchable Option. For example, a searcher might be looking for an antique roll-top desk. If you offer an antique roll-top desk, and have chosen the Searchable Option, your Item Page may appear very high on the search engine results list, and a searcher might be brought directly to your Item Page.
 
Without the Searchable Option, only your home page will be indexed by the search engines. The content of your home page will be much more general than each of your specific Item Pages, and your search engine score may be much lower.
 
If your entire shop very focussed, you might not need the searchable option. For example, if your shop is dedicated to making holiday wreaths, your home page might be specialized enough that it will receive a reasonable search engine score. Your individual item pages might not be much more specialized than your home page.
 
Search engines reward specific, focussed pages with much higher scores than generalized multipurpose pages. Most KnowledgeBuilder shops will benefit greatly from the Searchable Option.
What are the main differences between a KnowledgeBuilder.com site and other venders e-commerce shop sites?
Each item you offer recieves its own dedicated page so you can present and describe it as fully as you desire in words and pictures.
 
With the Searchable Option, each item page can be found by all major search engines, including Google. This is not possible with any other comparably priced e-commerce shop that we are aware of.
 
All Item Pages are "Edit in Place" pages, so you can make changes as often as you like while you are viewing the page.
 
Each item can be presented differently with varying amounts of text and varying numbers and sizes of photos. You have more control over the appearance of your entire KnowledgeBuilder.com shop.  Examples

Can I put more than one photo on an Item Page?
Yes. Sometimes you need to show your product from different views or in different colors or configurations. Your ieKnowledgeBuilder.com site allows you to put as many photos on your Item Pages as needed to fully present your work.
Can I put more than one item on an Item Page?
No, but you can offer a "set" of items for a single price. KnowledgeBuilder is designed to give each item its own dedicated page. This makes it possible for searchers to find your items directly, and allows you to give the best possible presentation for each of your items by using more descriptive and personalized text, and larger, clearer photos than are possible on other e-commerce sites.
