In one sentence

Building out the product listing page so it carries enough meaning, structure, and internal linking to compete for the large commercial terms.

Analogy Mental model

The department sign above the office furniture section, plus the buying guide standing at its entrance.

In practice What you actually do

Three changes do most of the work. Add a short introduction above the grid that names the category and links to subcategories, kept brief so products remain visible on a phone. Add a buying guide and several real questions below the grid. Add a row of subcategory links at the top, which serves shoppers and creates a tight internal link structure at once.

Where people get burned Pitfalls

This combination is the single highest-return change available on most retail sites, and it is routinely skipped because the template is owned by a merchandising team rather than by search.
