Why it matters
The most common problems usually sit around collections, product schema, faceted URLs, speed. These signals influence how easily search engines discover pages, understand content, and trust the final URL they should rank.
A good SEO workflow turns these checks into a short fix list with owner, impact, effort, and validation steps.

- Review product schema and record the current state, expected state, and exact URL affected.
- Review faceted URLs and record the current state, expected state, and exact URL affected.
