This is especially valuable when you need to create longer content. For reference, SEMrush recommends that a category page aimed at the keyword \u201cLED televisions\u201d would need to be <strong><em>longer than 1600 words <\/em><\/strong>to outperform Google\u2019s current top 10 ranked pages.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ALSO<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crowdcontent.com\/blog\/2018\/08\/28\/copywriting-for-seo\/\">Copywriting for SEO: How to Be Sure Your eCommerce Copy Converts and Ranks<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Should I include internal links in my category page?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, yes and yes.

Visitors that have made it to these pages are further along their buying journey and more likely be evaluating products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While pushing visitors closer to your product pages is an important use of hyperlinks, remember that you\u2019re ultimately helping visitors learn more about their options at this stage of their journey. You should also consider linking off to more educational resources such as buying guides to educate consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how Best Buy helps visitors to their TV category page to learn more about their options:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/t12ewhi3UeC2ztfE8qLoba2KFIFFRnKxgirxUZufzt9wJz-meAhFsRnvlKB-KkdDbAW_2c6kMQDOEEuZjpDLItO89glzy6gGqtFlBivwxQlEUDqR6RU7GyP0JFMz5Lnm_EZlgJ_F\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How long should my SEO eCommerce category pages be?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The experts are all over the map when it comes to the proper length for SEO eCommerce category pages.<a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/ecommerce-seo\/\"> Ahrefs<\/a> says they should be \u201cshort and sweet, but<a href=\"https:\/\/backlinko.com\/ecommerce-seo#onpageseo\"> Backlinko<\/a> insists that category pages should be at least 1,000 words long and contain your primary keyword three to five times. The truth is that there\u2019s no one answer. Your category pages should be as long as needed to get the job done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good rule of thumb \u2013 take a look at what competitive eCommerce websites have on their category pages, and then do more \u2013 or do it better. This is true for the length of content and for the number of products that you display on the page. Don\u2019t forget \u2013 if retail giants like Amazon and Walmart have category pages for women\u2019s shirts that display a lot of products (50 or more) per page and your women\u2019s shirt category only displays 10 products, your rankings (and traffic) may be impacted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ALSO<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crowdcontent.com\/blog\/2019\/04\/30\/how-to-determine-optimal-content-lengths-and-why-longer-isnt-always-better\/\">How to Determine Optimal Content Lengths (and Why Longer Isn\u2019t Always Better)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I mentioned the need for creating semantically complete content earlier in this post. Using tools like SEMrush to audit your top competitors helps you identify the topics that are being covered in Google\u2019s top-ranked content so you can craft content that covers all the topics they do \u2013 and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the example of the search for \u201cLED televisions,\u201d you can quickly build out a category page with multiple subheadings about screen quality, gaming and power use. That\u2019s incredibly helpful when you\u2019re trying to write a piece that\u2019s at least 1,600 words long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"299\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crowdcontent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/04\/Ecommerce_Seo.gif\" alt=\"Ecommerce SEO\" class=\"wp-image-37567\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where should I place the content on the page?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the top of the page or at the bottom \u2013 it\u2019s a question that\u2019s up for a lot of debate. Most designers want category content to show below the product listings so as not to mess with design or user experience, but copy that\u2019s shoved to the bottom of the page may or may not ever be read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How to handle this dilemma? Consider putting your content at the top of the page with a Read More button or put a short sentence or two at the top \u2013 just enough for the search engine bots and readers \u2013 and then include the remainder of the content at the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll need to assess what\u2019s right for your site\u2019s design as well as the consumer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best piece of advice we can offer is to make sure that your content is displayed in an appealing way. Great content hooks readers and boosts search rankings, but how both interact with that content makes a difference between a page that looks appealing and one that\u2019s bound to drive consumers away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to break up your longer content into multiple sections, add imagery and leverage expandable fields to give your content the best chance of being read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What about on-page SEO?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As discussed, there are two primary reasons for crafting high-quality category pages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Providing useful information to the consumer<br>2. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Giving the search engines something to grab onto to help rankings<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SEO is extremely important for brand and category pages \u2013 in fact, it\u2019s the first thing you should think about. That means really putting thought into the length you\u2019ll need and the keywords you\u2019ll use.
