SEO Settings for Sub-Category Pages

Hi community

After a month of setting up and running our new small e-commerce business with Squarespace, everything has been great so far except one thing: we cannot work on SEO settings for individual category or sub-category pages. Our sitemap looks good as of now and all the URLs of category pages together with the slugs have been proper, SEO-optimized, and published.

The only SEO setting we can manipulate is the "Shop" page (the master link for the Shop section). Whenever we click the setting button of a category page and rephrase the SEO description or title, the "Shop" page SEO will change reflectively, which is strange. 

Does this mean Squarespace does not support category-level pages in SEO settings? Or do I need to inject development codes to interfere with this?

Appreciate all the feedback and helpful advice.

Hi @inluck - unfortunately, you can't edit the SEO settings of category or sub-category pages.

I have discovered a code from @WillMyers which works really well to help customise them/maximise SEO potential.

Feel free to check out the below video:

Hey, thanks, Henry, for reaching out to clarify this point. Seems like I may have to dive into the shared video to see if we can alternatively do anything else to optimize the site ranking.

Watched the video and created those pages - but how will those pages appear in individual search results in a specialised way?

As in, you can't decide the search result title of category and sub-category pages?
