Local SEO guidance for category and city landing pages

Supply and context both matter

A page should not exist just because routing can render it. Real supply, supporting copy, internal links, and clear user value all contribute to whether the page deserves crawl budget.

Facets are not automatically landing pages

Filter states can help users, but most combinations add no standalone value for search. Keep public SEO targets intentionally curated instead of exposing every internal state.

Freshness has to be meaningful

Update timestamps should reflect real changes in listings, availability, aggregates, or editorial copy. Cosmetic refreshes do not make a weak page stronger.
