Cludo Site Search review
A broad search analytics suite for enterprise sites, but costly when analytics is the main need.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Cludo Site Search is a cloud-based search platform for content-rich public websites, intranets, and enterprise content. It is designed for organizations that need both search functionality and detailed visibility into how visitors search. Its analytics covers query volume, clicks, click-through rates, ineffective searches, zero-result searches, destination pages, device data, and visitor trends. Search capabilities include keyword and vector search, autocomplete, facets, synonyms, misspelling correction, page rankings, and customizable result controls.
The product’s plan structure separates core search from additional AI capabilities. AI Search includes keyword and vector search, rankings, synonyms, misspelling handling, intelligent 404 pages, and content-gap discovery. Enterprise Search adds AI Search, multi-source search, secure federated indexing, and GDPR compliance. AI Layers are priced at $8,000 per layer annually and include AI Chat, AI Summary, AI Mode, and US or EU hosting. Core search pricing is customized based on organizational needs rather than search volume, so buyers should distinguish the listed AI Layer price from the cost of the main search plans.
Cludo fits ecosystems built around WordPress, Drupal, Adobe Experience Manager, Sitecore, Optimizely, Umbraco, Progress Sitefinity, Hannon Hill Cascade CMS, Salesforce Experience Cloud, and HubSpot. It also integrates with Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Siteimprove, while supporting web and API implementations plus crawler-based indexing. That breadth suits organizations managing several content sources or needing search performance reporting alongside existing analytics. Buyers focused mainly on analytics value should weigh the customized core pricing and the $8,000 annual AI Layer cost. Organizations seeking a combined search, content discovery, and AI experience are the stronger fit.
