**Many words have synonyms that can be used to replace or clarify their meaning. For example, a synonym for the word "attractive" could be "beautiful”.**

Note that a synonym could also be a sentence! You might want to redirect your visitor’s search from one product to another. Then just create a synonym for the old product name to the new product name you want to suggest.

If visitors often use a word that you don’t have as a product name or description, add it as a synonym. It might be an outdated category or product. Then, suggest the new category or product.
