Restructure collections for SEO and navigation

Safe — read-only ClaudeChatGPT

Goal

Turn an organic sprawl of collections into a clear hierarchy that matches how people search.

Prompt to copy

Here are my current collections (title, handle, product count, type: manual/automated) and my top search queries from Search Console.
Propose a collection structure: top-level categories, sub-collections, and which existing collections to merge, rename or retire. For each retired handle, give a redirect target.
Keep handles short and keyword-led. Show the result as a tree, then a redirect table.

Steps

Export collections list and Search Console queries (last 3 months).
Run the prompt.
Sanity-check the tree against your menu and best sellers.
Implement in stages; add redirects (Online Store > Navigation > URL redirects) before deleting anything.

What to check

Every retired URL has a redirect.
High-traffic collections keep their handles.
Menu links are updated.

Safety rating: Safe. This workflow only reads data and suggests changes. You decide what to apply.

Optimise collections for multiple print formats of the same artwork

When one artwork sells as poster, canvas, framed print and card, avoid duplicate content and make each format findable.

Write collection page descriptions

Collection pages often rank better than products. Give them useful intro copy.
