E-commerce Websites Topical Map

π E-commerce websites often fall into the trap of mix-context on their webpages.
A webpage can't be both a product-selling page and an informational page at the same time β doing so confuses search engines and weakens your SEO signals.
π― Focus on a Dominant Context
β
To consolidate the ranking signals of a webpage over a specific query template, one context must be dominant.
π All contextual vectors, layout, and anchor texts should be aligned to that dominant context for better relevance and clarity.
π Balanced Strategy: Informational + Commercial Content
π§ Both informational and commercial pages can still cover related and prominent attributes of entities to enhance search intent coverage.
π Related entity attribute classification is the process of categorizing the coverage of information across different types of webpages on an e-commerce site.
π€ Informational content and commercial content can support each other, helping to satisfy every possible and relevant search activity β all from the same source.
