Map category pages to broad shopping needs and product pages to specific items and variants.

WORKING TEMPLATE

Catalog architecture

Map collections to product categories people actually search. Give each collection a distinct purpose and internal links from navigation, guides, and related products. For filters, decide which combinations deserve indexable landing pages; keep low-value parameter combinations from flooding the index. Canonical tags consolidate duplicates but do not guarantee Google will choose your preferred URL, so verify in Search Console. Add valid Product structured data for eligible product details and keep price and availability synchronized with the visible page.
