Open the category in Products › Categories with the edit icon. Write a few paragraphs in Category page text, fill SEO title and Meta description under SEO (Google) while you watch the Google preview, and press Update. The text shows under the products on the category page.
Where to find it
Admin › Online store › Products › Categories, then the edit icon in the Action column. The same boxes are on the form for a new category at the top of the page.
You need the Products & stock feature. The store owner always has it.
Step by step
- Go to Admin › Online store › Products › Categories.
- Press the edit icon next to the category.
- In Category page text (ক্যাটাগরি পেজের লেখা), write about the category: what you sell in it, fabrics, sizes, delivery. You can use headings and lists.
- Under SEO (Google), type the SEO title. The counter turns red after 60 characters.
- Type the Meta description. The counter turns red after 155 characters.
- Check the Google preview box above them: it shows the address, title and description as Google may show them.
- Change Page address (slug) only if you need to. The old address keeps working (301).
- Press Update.
How it works
| Box | If you leave it empty |
|---|---|
| SEO title | "Category name — Buy online in Bangladesh | your shop name" |
| Meta description | The start of the Category page text, else "Shop category online at your shop. Cash on delivery across Bangladesh." |
What the category page shows (yourshop.com/category/slug):
- the category name as the page heading;
- links to its sub-categories, when it has any;
- the first 16 products, already in the page, with numbered page links (1, 2, Next ›) under them so Google reaches every product; shoppers can keep scrolling as before;
- your Category page text under the products.
Example: Rangdhanu Fashion writes 150 words about its Panjabi category (cotton and silk, sizes M to XXL, delivery all over Bangladesh) and sets the SEO title "Panjabi for Men — Eid and Casual | Rangdhanu Fashion".
Good to know
- Each category its own words. Do not copy the same text to every category.
- Old categories. If an older category kept its text in the meta description, the edit form offers it as Category page text; write a short meta description again.
- A page number that does not exist (for example ?page=99) answers "not found".
- Sub-categories have their own page and the same boxes.
