Are you ready for a good dumb SEO question?

Are you ready for a good dumb SEO question?
Ok, so Im working on a WordPress / Elementor / Woocommerce site and i want to rank my category pages.
I wrote a top notch, not spammy, world class SEO text (at least that`s what my momma said) describing the category that i wanted to include before the footer.
BUT...
The developer didn`t create category pages the pages are just product categories so i cannot add the "super nice" SEO text that i wrote. I was thinking in a sketchy solution but Im not sure it will work or if Google will take it as suspicious, what is it you may ask? I saw that if i create a page with the same url as the products category page i can write the text that i want and the page that the final user sees is the product category page (showing the products but not the text that i wrote). What do you think about it? I know it is some sketchy sh... but you never know it may work and i will rank #1 the day after.  If you arrived here i already love you . Thanks

  • Stockbridge Truslow: In Wordpress, assuming you have a proper theme - what you put for the category description should appear on the category page (or tag page or attributes page) just like any other page content block. If it doesn`t appear - it means your theme isn`t following Wordpress standards.

  • Santiago Lemini: Yes i have the option to put a category description, the problem is that my text is 600 words long and it pushes the products way down, do you know a way to make the category description to appear down below and not at the top?

  • Stockbridge Truslow: Add this to your theme`s functions.php - should do the trick.

    add_action(`woocommerce_archive_description`, `custom_archive_description`, 2 );function custom_archive_description() if( is_product_category() ) : remove_action(`woocommerce_archive_description`, `woocommerce_taxonomy_archive_description`, 10 ); add_action( `woocommerce_after_main_content`, `woocommerce_taxonomy_archive_description`, 5 ); endif;

    That`ll do it for the categories. You`d have to adjust the if( is_product_category() ) : line to include tags and attributes if you want those covered, as well.

  • Santiago Lemini: Dude you are awesome! thank you so much!

  • Brenda Malone: If you have Elementor Pro, you can create your own Archive Page.
