How to approach the work
Map commercial categories to distinct demand. Give each category a useful introduction, clear products and relevant selection guidance. Product pages should answer questions about specifications, suitability, delivery and returns using accurate information from the merchant.
What to check and change
Review filters, sort orders, variants and pagination as one URL system. Decide which combinations deserve independent search pages and which are navigation utilities.
