Filter pages - Shopify

[williamhuynh]

Hi there,

/collections/living-room-furniture/black
/collections/living-room-furniture/fabric

Is that ok to make all the above filter/tag pages canonicalised with their main category /collections/living-room-furniture

OR

I keep them as it is, so /collections/living-room-furniture/black can rank for filter keywords, example: black living room furniture, /collections/living-room-furniture/fabric fabric living room furniture etc.

Also, does it needs to be noindex, follow as well?

Note - already removed the main category content from filter pages, updated meta tags as well.

Please advice, thank you

Hi William,

I think it  mainly depends on whether there is enough search demand to create specialized "living room furniture" pages.  If there is, then go ahead and create those pages and aim for them to rank on their own.  If not, placing the canonical to point to the main page is enough. I wouldn't place a "noindex" there.

There's a great article that was posted about Shopify SEO on the MOZ Blog last week and can be found here.  It could be worth checking out if you haven't read it yet.
