Pages: Category Pages

Guides e-commerce category page structure, content, and SEO optimization. Category pages organize products by attributes and drive 3x more organic revenue than product pages by ranking for broad, high-volume keywords.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1-2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Initial Assessment

Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read it for product catalog and site structure.

Identify:

  1. Catalog: Product count, categories, subcategories
  2. Facets: Filters (size, color, price, brand, etc.)
  3. URL structure: Current hierarchy, parameter handling

Category Structure

Hierarchy

PrinciplePractice
Logical groupingGeneral -> specific (e.g., Furniture -> Bedroom furniture -> Beds)
User search intentMatch how users search (e.g., "bedroom furniture" vs "furniture")
Crawl depth<=4 clicks from homepage; shorter paths improve indexing
Long-tail categoriesNiche categories convert better (36% vs 11.5% for broad)

URL Structure

  • Subfolders: example.com/shoes/sneakers, example.com/shoes/outdoor-shoes
  • Slugs: Descriptive, keyword-rich; lowercase; no stop words
  • Avoid: Dates, timestamps, /category/ prefix
  • Breadcrumbs: Show path; help users and crawlers

Faceted Navigation (Filters)

Filters create many URL combinations (size + color + price). Manage to avoid duplicate content and crawl waste:

StrategyUse
CanonicalPoint all faceted URLs to base category URL
robots.txtBlock faceted URLs from indexing if needed
nofollowAdd to internal links to faceted URLs
JavaScriptKeep filters client-side; single URL for category

On-Page Content

Content Requirements

  • 150-300 words unique copy; pages with this rank ~2.7x higher than product-only grids
  • Placement: After hero/H1; FAQ block at bottom
  • Purpose: Help users decide; answer curation, materials, recommendations
  • Avoid: Manufacturer copy; crowding product grid

H1One per page; primary keyword; clear purpose
Title tag50-60 chars; keyword; compelling for CTR
Meta description150-160 chars; value props (free shipping, returns)
SchemaItemList, Product; AggregateRating if reviews; FAQ if applicable
