Category and product visibility at catalogue scale, tied to margin rather than sessions.

The problem
What usually goes wrong
The patterns we see most often before teams move onto AASEO.
Category pages underperform
The highest-intent pages on the site are templated afterthoughts with no unique content.
Faceted navigation leaks crawl budget
Millions of parameter URLs consume crawl and dilute the pages that matter.
Seasonal demand missed
Content briefed during the season instead of before it.
Volume over margin
Effort goes to high-traffic categories that make almost nothing per order.
Duplicate product copy
Manufacturer descriptions repeated across every retailer in the category.
Losing the comparison query
Answer engines summarise the category and cite someone else.

The approach
How we get there
-
01
Weight by margin
Attach margin to categories so the backlog optimises for profit rather than pageviews.
-
02
Govern the facets
Rules for which parameter combinations are indexable, enforced and monitored.
-
03
Brief ahead of season
Trend models drive the content calendar a quarter before demand arrives.
