Woocommerce and individual category/product set-up

[Eoinfitz]

Hi All,

Very new to SEO but trying to make small meaningful changes to wordpress site.

My question is whether it would be better for me to bypass this category page (http://liliglace.com.br/categoria-produto/personalizados/) (website is in Portuguese) and go straight to the underlying product pages by creating individual categories for each product.

I think this will increase SEO efficiency and clarity on the site with regard to these 3 products but I am worried about having a Woo-commerce category page with just one product page. I know that the plugin goes straight to the product page but is there a risk of duplicate content regarding the unused category page? Also long Urls! The Casamento (Wedding) category is already set up this way and same question applies.

Any help or guidence wold be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You should be fine having one product under a category. To avoid duplicate content, you should use canonical URLs. Since you are using WordPress, you can use Yoast to accomplish this. If you haven't used canonical URLs before check out this guide. https://yoast.com/rel-canonical/

Hope that helps!
