01 · Catalog before campaigns
Make it possible to find the product before spending more to promote it.
An online store can attract attention and still lose customers inside its own catalog. Categories may follow an internal stock system rather than the way people shop. Similar products may be split without a useful comparison. Filters may expose too many choices or none of the distinctions that matter. Search may use different language from product titles. Before adding more campaigns or content, Boho can trace how a customer moves from a need to a category, a product, a variant, and the information required to buy.
The right structure depends on the catalog. A small specialist store may need a few strong collections and buying explanations. A larger catalog may need careful category relationships, filters, internal search, product families, and rules for discontinued or unavailable items. The goal is not to force every possible search phrase into the navigation. It is to make the real inventory understandable to customers and accessible to search systems without creating duplicate, empty, or misleading paths.
- Organise around customer choices while preserving workable catalog operations.
- Connect related categories, products, variants, and supporting guides deliberately.
- Handle unavailable and discontinued products with a clear customer path.
- Keep platform-generated URLs and duplicate views under review.
