Having categories is one thing—but is the structure logical? A confusing setup causes friction. A clean, intuitive hierarchy builds trust and improves your site's usability.
It also helps search engines crawl and understand your shop, improving your SEO performance. Google loves clarity.
What you can do:
- Use consistent, user-friendly category names
- Avoid overlapping or duplicate terms (e.g., “Living Room Plants” vs. “Indoor Plants”)
- Organize content into a hierarchy (e.g., Main > Sub)
A well-structured category system makes your webshop feel polished and professional—and more visible online.
