Get Your Category and Product Pages Ranking

Most stores rank for their brand name and almost nothing else. The category pages that should capture buying intent sit unoptimised, while filter URLs quietly burn the crawl budget.

  • Category pages treated as landing pages

The Problem

Why Online Stores Underperform in Search

Four issues appear in nearly every store audit we run.

Category pages with no content

A product grid and nothing else. There is nothing for a search engine to rank, even though these are the highest commercial-intent pages you own.

Filters generating infinite URLs

Every colour, size and price combination creating a crawlable URL, producing tens of thousands of near-duplicates that consume crawl budget.

Manufacturer product descriptions

The same copy as every other retailer selling the item, so there is no reason for Google to prefer your page.

Discontinued products deleted outright

Pages that ranked and earned links returning 404s instead of redirecting to a relevant category.

Our Approach

Category Pages as Landing Pages

Category pages are the highest-value SEO real estate in any store — they match commercial intent and can hold real content. We treat them as landing pages: unique copy, buying guidance, internal links and a reason to rank.

At the same time we bring faceted navigation under control, deciding which filter combinations deserve to be indexable landing pages and which should be blocked entirely.

  • Category page optimizationUnique content, buying guidance and internal linking
  • Faceted navigation strategyIndexable, crawlable or blocked — decided per pattern
  • Product content differentiationUnique descriptions that outrank the manufacturer's copy
  • Product schemaPrice, availability and reviews for rich results
  • Lifecycle handlingOut-of-stock and discontinued products redirected, never dropped

FAQ

Questions Before You Start

Categories, almost always. They target higher-volume commercial terms, hold more content, and pass authority to the products beneath them. Products matter for long-tail and branded searches.

Temporarily out of stock: keep the page live and say when it returns. Permanently discontinued: 301 redirect to the closest alternative or its category. Deleting them throws away rankings and links.

The filter system on category pages. Left uncontrolled it creates near-infinite crawlable URLs that consume crawl budget and split ranking signals. We decide per pattern which are indexable, which are crawlable-only and which are blocked.

For products where you compete against other retailers on the same manufacturer copy, yes — usually starting with your best sellers. For a long tail of low-value SKUs it rarely pays back.

Yes, and they reinforce each other. Clean product data and schema improve both organic listings and feed quality.

Both can rank well. WooCommerce gives more control over URLs and markup; Shopify imposes some URL structures but is technically solid. Platform is rarely the reason a store does not rank.
