  • Category > product for organic wins.
  • Product schema with aggregateRating on every PDP.
  • Facets: index some, noindex the rest — deliberately.
  • Never let out-of-stock kill a URL — reserve it.

The top items

In order of impact.

  • Category pages with unique intro copy
  • Product schema with reviews
  • Faceted URL control (indexation policy)
  • OOS product handling — keep URL, add alternatives
  • Internal linking between related products

Paired module: Billing — License, Credits & Usage

License activation, AI credit balance, per-module usage meters and forecast — no surprises at the end of the month. Modern SEO stacks meter AI usage; without a live meter, teams either overspend or underuse the tools they paid for.

  • Billing → Activate license
  • Watch AI credit burn per module in real time
  • Set soft and hard usage caps per role or site
  • Export usage for finance reporting
Should out-of-stock products be noindexed?

No. Keep them indexed with 'alternatives' modules.

How to handle color/size variants?

One canonical URL, variant selectors — don't spawn 20 URLs.

How do you prevent AI content from sounding generic?

Every generation is grounded in your Fact Bank, Brand Voice and target silo — the model never generates in a vacuum, so outputs read as yours, not as a template.

What happens if I run out of AI credits?

Non-critical automations pause and the UI shows exactly which module is affected — nothing breaks silently, and top-ups are one click.
