Will SearchCue slow my site down?
No. The snippet loads asynchronously and never blocks your page, so it will not slow your site down[S1]. Pasting the snippet takes a moment and needs no build step[S2]. We also keep your index fresh by crawling when you sign up and re-crawling about once a day, or whenever you request a manual recrawl[S3].

And the essentials, done carefully.

Search bar or button, your colours, your style, placed anywhere. It loads asynchronously and never slows the page.
You control the results
Hide landing pages, SEO filler, or anything you would rather not surface. What shows up is up to you.
Document search
Your documents are indexed alongside your pages and searchable in real time.
Three prices. No surprises.
Large or small, lots of traffic or hardly any at all, it does not matter. We want you to be able to get access to all of SearchCue regardless of your ability to pay.
If your site is small you pay little, if your site is large you pay a little more. We do our best to align our interests with yours so we can be a provider you can rely on for the long haul. But if you outgrow us you can cancel at any time without penalty or herculean effort.
You can turn off, or cap, AI related features that are associated with an extra charge. You know exactly what you are getting, how much you will pay, and not a single bad billing surprise. That is a promise.
To get you started, you get 15 days of free trial on the house. Setup takes three minutes and is free, of course.

When your AI budget runs out
SearchCue keeps returning powerful, real-time keyword search. Your first-class does not go offline just because you have decided to cap your spend on AI search and AI conversations.
Questions, answered plainly.
Is SearchCue a chatbot?
Yes, and a little more than that. We are not fond of the word chatbot, but SearchCue is a powerful search tool combined with one.
Will it make things up?
SearchCue only answers from the content of your site, and every answer shows its sources so visitors can click through and check. If it does not have the information, it says so. No AI is right 100% of the time, but showing the sources with every answer keeps that in check.
Can I get a surprise bill?
No. You set a monthly budget and that is a hard limit. When you reach it, SearchCue falls back to keyword search at no extra cost, unless you have chosen to keep conversational answers running. Either way, you decide the ceiling.
What counts as an answer?
An answer is any reply from SearchCue, whether it begins a new conversation or follows up within one. If a visitor clicks a classic search result, we consider them satisfied and count that result as an answer too.
Do I need a developer?
Not really. You paste one snippet into your site and add a link or a button. Most people are done in a few minutes, and if you get stuck you can always reach us. Sebastian and Felix answer themselves.
What kind of site does it work on?
Any site where you can paste a snippet: WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Squarespace, or your own hand-built pages. Whatever makes you happy.
How does SearchCue know what is on my site?
We crawl your site when you sign up, usually only a couple of minutes, then re-crawl once a day or whenever you request a manual recrawl from the dashboard.
Do you train AI on my content or my visitors' questions?
No. SearchCue reads your site so it can answer questions about it, but we do not train on your data or your visitors' data.
Will it slow my site down?
No. The snippet loads asynchronously and never blocks your page.
What does it cost to set up?
Nothing. Setup is free and takes a few minutes.
Three minutes to set up. Fifteen days free, on the house.
