Day 16: Collection page as guide, not just grid
Focus: Collection pages can be cited as 'best for' guides when they explain selection logic and constraints.
What you will achieve today
- Add a short guide block to one collection page.
- Define filters that match common prompt intents.
- Reduce thin content risks.
Deliverables
- One collection page with a guide intro (150 to 250 words).
- A list of 5 filters users should apply.
Step-by-step
- Pick a key collection (for example: Running Jackets).
- Write an intro: who this collection is for, how to choose, key trade-offs.
- Add a short 'how to choose' bullet list (3 to 5 bullets).
- Ensure filters align with those bullets (size, material, waterproof rating, price).
- Link to 2 to 3 featured products with short reasons.
Checklist
- Intro includes trade-offs and constraints.
- Filters are meaningful and not cosmetic.
- No duplicate products across collections without explanation.
Examples
Collection intro
- Good: Choose based on waterproof rating, packability, and fit. If you run in winter, prioritise insulation.
- Bad: Here are our best jackets. Buy now.
Common mistakes
- Leaving collection pages as endless grids.
- Stuffing keywords without selection logic.
Done when
- Collection page has a guide block and clear selection logic.
- A customer can shortlist in under 1 minute.
