Category Page Descriptions

Add a description to category pages. It is excellent for SEO and offers customers more information on products.

Adding Descriptions on Category Pages

To add a description to your category page, go to the “Categories” page under the “Taxonomy” tab in the “PIM” App.

Select the category you would like to edit and click the “Website” tab. Here, you can add the description and a “Long Name.” With the “Long Name,” you can create a more descriptive title, which also helps with SEO!

The example above shows the difference between the category name, Insulated Tools, and the “Long Name,” 1000V Rated Insulated Electricians Tools.

“Long Names” and descriptions are displayed on both the “Sub-category” and “Products” category-style pages.

Save and publish

To see your updated content on your website, you need to publish your page. In the Websites App, click on the Publish tab. Once there, click the Create button. On the next screen, you will select the website you want the page to publish to (if you have multiple websites) and check the Products checkbox. Click Save at the top, then click Start.
