Introduction 🛒
In this video, we will discuss the importance of multi-level breadcrumbs in Shopify for better SEO and user experience. We will also explore a new solution that allows for manual control over breadcrumbs without the need for a developer.
The Problem with Default Breadcrumbs
The default breadcrumbs provided by modern themes in Shopify are not very SEO-friendly and lack user-friendliness. Newer themes may not even have breadcrumbs at all, while older themes use collection-aware URLs, which can cause conflicts and duplicate content issues.
The Impact on SEO
The conflicting information from collection-aware URLs and duplicate versions of product pages can be confusing for search engines like Google. This can lead to indexing issues and affect the visibility of your products in search results.
The Solution 💡
Introducing a section that enables manual control over breadcrumbs for products and collections. This solution offers flexibility and control, allowing for the creation of sub-collections and improved SEO.
