Marketplace Category Pages: Rank Without Unique Copy

Direct answer: A marketplace category page can rank without unique copy when its live listing set is genuinely distinct and sits inside a browseable hierarchy.

Copy is not what separates a ranking category page from a doorway. Pages whose listing sets overlap heavily with other indexed pages, or that sit empty, are the ones that should not be indexed at all. A store writes its category pages.

  • Use indexed share and clicks per indexed page rather than total indexed URLs.

Next step Export your category URLs with live listing counts.
