does nobody have an idea on this? Or am I on the completely wrong path to up my SEO?

How do others circumnavigate this issue?

Same problem here.

Awesome, I've got this note today:

Hey! You just earned the 'Daily Visitor' badge!

Well, it's because I've left the tab ever since I wrote the comment, patiently waiting for an answer 🙂
This is a bit funny.

Same problem here.
One can only add blocks to the whole store not customed to the categories – which is crucial for SEO.
In my case I have very different products in each category and  each of them would benefit profoundly from having an own H1-keyword and according text.
Is it better to make several stores per category?
At the moment I try to circumnavigate by landingpages but it doesn't make much sense to have an extra website structure additionally to/outside of the shop.

Thanks for that short summary, boxhallmaerketing.
I struggle with following on the more technical side in squarespace:

Quote

ii) The keyword is in my H1 tag. 

iii) The keyword is used throughout the content. 

iv) The content there is to support the main keyword.

Because I cannot put H1 and content to my categories: when I add a block to the shop site or change the SEO description, it's over the whole shop not only for the category. The categories contain different types of products, i.e. shisha-coal and incense sticks and seminars – which would profit from using a keyword on their own.
Is this behaviour handled differently in other themes?
Should I set up a shop (technically) for each of those categories or do you have any idea how to handle this?

Thanks for reading.

Hey there,
it seems, that the color scheme is based on “dark 1”. One can edit stuff there but it will interfere with the design of other blocks that use “dark 1”.
It would be awesome to simply set the color scheme to the preferred one. Is this possible? It would make much more sense than changing every detail on it's own per individual code.
Thanks already for your help 🙂

Is this topic solved?

So I decided to just add handmade breadcrumbs for the categories as first line in my additional informations – I have to add specified text in every product anyway. It's an easy peasy workaround for now.

And later on maybe I'll add a tag cloud somewhere.

edit: deleted my whole comment … did not understand this upvoting a post thing at first, thought my post dissapeared.

I got an answer from the support.

What feels like a bug for the most of us, is state of design by now, referring to this site:

https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/231746347-Styling-Store-Pages#toc-store-page

Edit: It's said, that it may be presented to the developers team. I'm unsure if this is a general text brick. Let's hope for the best!
And continue sending bug reports / feature requests!

me distracted … here it is

s0lv!ngbrE@dcrumbs

I'm not sure why my website is so important, I see the same happening on @jdillagodzilla site for example.

edit: I also see the same thing happening on the websites of @kindandbrave. It was questioned, that there are prducts nested in categories. I see categories there … like “Fathers Day“ e.g.

Ah, thanks, I forgot. We are still on building the site.
Password is for now: s0lv!ngbrE@dcrumbs
I'll delete it after you checked in, please give reply.

Did send a bug report. Hard to tell if I chose the right options for this. Maybe we all should hammer the same inbox for this topic. Any suggestions?

Hallo Mela

Can you point me towards one of your products that is within nested categories?

Hallo Paul, thanks for answering that.
You can find an product in a subcategory here: 

https://heckenwerk.squarespace.com/shop/p/deine-mixtur?p

the category: https://heckenwerk.squarespace.com/shop/lose-mischungen?p

the shop: https://heckenwerk.squarespace.com/shop?p

the breadcrump in the first link says:
Rauch & Glut > Deine Mixtur
according to: shop > product

I'm looking forward to get a solution. My crippely work around for now is to have two shops for the two main categories at least – but this brings it's own problems.

Also thanks to @jdillagodzilla to also pointing to the topic.

edit for clearification of the category structure

I found this script

https://www.nichemarket.co.za/blog/nichemarket-advice/breadcrumb-schema-squarespace

but it' a lot of work because you'll have to do it for every single page and readjust the script for every single site and item. I didn't follow through so I don't know if it will do it's job … this looks painfull to do if you have more than 5 items listed. But it's said this will also work for events and blog.

Hi, I have the same problem here.

As far as I see, products are nested in catagories in my shop. But it won't work.
In my opinion this is a basic feature any shop should be able off.

So maybe there is a misunderstanding about products being “nested”?
Isn't it just enough to give a category in the item's settings?

@paul2009 I'd be very happy, if you follow your idea to build a solution 🙂
