Shoppers search for “Samsung camcorders” or “red leather sofas”, not for a category. CS-Cart can show those products with the product filters, but every filtered page is noindex, has the category’s title and points its canonical link to the plain category, so search engines never list it. SEO Filter Landing Pages turns the category and filter combinations you choose into real landing pages:

• an own clean URL, for example /camcorders/samsung-camcorders/;
• an own H1, meta title, meta description and keywords;
• an intro text above and an SEO text below the products, and an optional banner;
• a self-referencing canonical link, index or noindex per page, hreflang links and a breadcrumb entry;
• an entry in the sitemap of the core Google sitemap add-on;
• a “Popular searches” block that links the landing pages from the category pages.

Highlights

• No duplicate pages. When a shopper opens the filtered category URL of a combination that has a landing page, the store redirects (301) to the landing page, or keeps the URL with a canonical link to it. Pagination, sorting and other links to that combination are written as the landing page URL.
• Fast to fill. Pick the filter values in the editor, or paste a filtered URL from your storefront. The bulk generator creates one page per brand, color or any other filter value (or per combination of two filters) in the categories you choose, with text templates such as {values} {category}.
• Multilingual. URL name, H1, meta data and texts per language.
• CSV import and export for bulk editing in a spreadsheet.
• Works with your other SEO add-ons. Built on the core SEO add-on; uses the same template syntax as SEO Meta Templates and hands its canonical link and title to SEO Pro Suite.
• Cache-friendly. The output depends only on the URL, so the 4.21 full page cache serves landing pages and refreshes them when you edit a page.
• Never a broken link. Without a valid license, or with the add-on switched off in its settings, landing page URLs redirect to the matching filtered category pages.

License

The add-on checks its license for your store’s domain with cs-cart.kaviolabs.com once a day, only from the admin panel or cron. The License card at the top of the add-on page shows the status:

Without a valid license, landing page URLs redirect to the normal filtered category pages, so no link breaks; their texts, meta data, canonical and index rules, the “Popular searches” links and the sitemap entries are switched off. See Configuration and the FAQ.
