Category page SEO
Category pages provide broad keyword coverage. Add 150–300 word unique descriptions, H1 optimization, and subcategory internal link structure per category.
- Unique title and meta description
- Category description block (no duplicates)
- Breadcrumb schema and pagination management
Product page SEO
Product pages need Product schema, unique descriptions, and high-quality images. Never copy manufacturer descriptions.
Technical SEO and faceted navigation
Filter parameters create duplicate content. Manage with canonical tags, noindex, or AJAX filtering. Faceted navigation audit is essential for large catalogs.
Frequently asked questions
How much content should I add to category pages?
150–300 words of unique description is sufficient. Place above or below the product list without hurting UX.
How does faceted navigation affect SEO?
Each filter combination creates a new URL. Without canonical and noindex strategy, crawl budget waste and duplicate content occur.
