Faceted Navigation SEO Planner
Paste product filter parameters and generate index, follow, canonical, robots.txt, and sitemap rules before faceted URLs create index bloat.
Facet rules
One rule per line: parameter, type, intent, demand, max indexable values, note.
Facet strategy matrix
| Parameter | Intent | Meta robots | Canonical | Robots.txt |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| colorsingle | index Strong collection facet | index,follow | self canonical for curated facet landing pages | Allow |
Risks and actions
Actions: add curated copy, title, description, H1, and internal links; monitor inventory count so indexed facet pages do not become thin
Launch recommendations
Set a hard cap for indexable facet combinations. Deep combinations should noindex or canonical back to a stronger category URL.
Block crawl-waste parameters such as sort, view, session, and tracking values in robots.txt or at the routing layer.
Only include curated canonical facet URLs in XML sitemaps. Exclude noindex, blocked, duplicate, and low-demand combinations.
Index a facet only when it has search demand, stable inventory, unique copy, crawlable internal links, and a self-canonical URL.
